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.

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

Tips for closing the BR gap: low 160s to low 170s

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!
