I liked re-doing a timed section a day, but ones that I'd taken before. Keeps things fresh, but doesn't undermine the confidence. But defos chill, get sleep, and hydrate. Also you're gonna kill it. FWIW
@dlaguna612! Idk if I'll get shot for suggesting another platform, but I found LSAT Lab's RC videos on Youtube really helpful to get me to -0 in BR. I'm still struggling timed, but I know at least given the time I can find what I need/figure it out. Do you wrong answer journal your RC questions? When you watch the video/read the explanations do you understand why the right answer is right? Just trying to think what helped me. Sorry if it's not super helpful - hopefully someone else will jump in!
Hello LSAT internet, I have been scoring consistently around the low 160s, last 3 PTs were 164/163/163 with blind review scores in the low 170s (170/172/174)
With a few weeks to the September test, what's the best strategy to try and close that gap?
I use my WAJ religiously, and take a few hours after I've blind reviewed to go over questions I struggled with or got wrong.
Doing about -4 on LR and -5 on RC, but LR is better in timed individual sections -2/-3
TIA!!!
Are you able to finish all 4 passages? And have you tried an RC section untimed? Are you able to answer the questions that you struggle with untimed? I might try that and see if you can track a disconnect when the timer is running. You might also try to focus all your time on 3 sections and see if you can do 100% accuracy on the 3 then guess on the last one. Might help you yield more than a -10.
As for studying for forever I FEEL you. I've been studying since May 2023 - just keep pushing - it'll pay off!
I've been really struggling with EXACTLY this and I just scored my first 169 on a timed PT over the weekend - I really think doing timed sections to experiment with pacing and timing really helped me. I try to do the first 13-15 in the first 15 minutes, and skip whatever question I can't really grasp during my first read and come back to it. There's usually 7-8 questions I need to go back to once I get to the end of the section to go back and answer. Also look at what question types take up the most of your time and do drills of 3-5 star difficulty of those.
