@lsatenjoyer Yes, I do! I always highlight MC first in yellow, that is always the first thing I seek out and identify, and then I highlight any conditionals in pink, separate out one of premises in green (just so it's easier for my brain to sort of read everything), and- if there are any -subidiary conclusions in teal!
@Farah Thank you!! It took me about a month and a half or so of buckle-down studying, but I've been sort of familiarizing myself with the test/question types since last August, so it's a lot of reinforcement and perfecting -- joining in on lives has been really helpful to see how they think, and learn certain tips I knew absolutely nothing about lol
@RT.IBL LR: Prephrase is the biggest thing in my opinion; try and find the argument and try your best to dismantle it. Even if it isn't one of the ACs, your training your brain to pick out issues and patterns with the stimulus which will help you later down the line. Something that also really helped me is not looking for the "right" answer choice, but looking for what is wrong in each one to lead me to the right one!!
RC: I answered kind of what I do under Malak's comment!!
When it comes to studying tactics, I try to get in at least 2-3 hours of studying in the morning before classes, and then in the afternoon join 1-2 classes to work through questions with one of the teachers to review back later.
When you look through your Wrong Answer journal, try your best to actively deconstruct and examine what exactly stumped you and implement what you should've thought to get to the correct answer. I know this was a lot, but I hope it was helpful!!
@Malak Thank you!! Honestly, it was really really hard, it's not at all like LR where you can learn specific question types, so I totally get you!
The best thing for me is identifying the author's opinion throughout the passage, writing down quick summaries on scratch paper about each papragraph, and then try to prephrase what the MP will be. I also highlight very intentionally, so author opinions will be in yellow, other's opinions will be in pink and green, and MC will be in blue!
Overall, it's trying to retrain your brain out of focusing on minute details, and more on the larger picture, which was always the hardest part for me to do!!
Edit: I would also suggest doing drills of specific passage types (it sucks but it'll help)
@bunnyfriend7617 I think what confuses me is it says "their fals have always been..." that always is what led me to choosing B
It would be amazing if you could share some of those study methods, review strategies, and practice materials!!
@AaronWebbLaw I’m not totally sure how to access them tbh!! I’m very new to the platform
Hi!!
I've been studying for the LSAT deliberately for about 3 weeks, and each PT I've taken the last 3 times have all scaled out to a score of 161.
I'm trying to not feel discouraged, but I really want to know if maybe there's something I could to break out of the 161s, if this is something other people have dealt with, etc.? Because it always feels like I understand the LSAT, and perform well in drills and sections until I get to actually taking the PTs

I don't see it either, but I think it might just be too few questions? You'll still get PT equivalents for sections at least!!
