Beginning Studies for Nov. LSAT: Any Tips?

I am taking my LSAT in November and just recently began studying. I just started the CC and am only 50% through the foundations unit. I have also taken one untimed PT, on which I scored 161. I am aiming for a score of 165+. I feel like I have a decent grasp of LR and completed those sections quite close to the 35 min time limit, but took far longer on the RC. I believe I can increase my LR score significantly with limited studying and practice, but I know that RC will take significant work for me.

Considering my short time frame for preparation (during which I will also be taking a 16 credit semester), does anyone have advice on the best way to approach my study time? Do people recommend completing the CC, or focusing solely on practice tests? Should I spend time on un-timed PT's, or focus only on timed ones?

Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone!

I am talking the November LSAT and am wondering if there are specific PT's I should do before the test arrives. Are there PT's that will most closely resemble this month's LSAT by virtue of being more recent, or is one PT as good as any other?

And one more question. I am aiming for a score above 165, but a score above 160 will do. I have been PT'ing between 163-166 with an average of 165, and as long as this doesn't drop dramatically on test day I am in a good place. Any tips to ensure test-day performance doesn't drop below the average PT score? I am taking the test at an in-person centre (wasn't offered another option).

Best of luck to all the other November LSAT takers!

Do you think that the difference between your good sections and your bad sections is a comprehension, a timing, or an anxiety issue? I know that for myself, some bad sections that I've had on PT's have been because I get tunnel-visioned on a really difficult question and then run out of time. To ameliorate this, I became more disciplined with flagging and skipping questions when I would read the question twice and still feel stumped. This really helped me to be more consistent with my sections, and may help you if the disparity is because of a similar issue. In any case, good luck with your exam tomorrow!
