I'm a grad student and have been studying habits. The questions are basically the same in all the tests. There are studies that show that a person picks the right answer, not because they know the answer, but because they are used to picking that answer. That is even when the choice order was changed. Practice, practice, practice...

I just received my score and it was 147. I know my score sucks, but it is intimidating reading about how awesome you guys are and wanted to let people who are struggling know that a 180 is not impossible. I limited myself to start with.

I had a bunch of chaos happening in my life, but I had paid for the test and wanted to see what it was like. I hadn't slept when I took the test and had major problems in my life. My score reflected what I had been scoring. Keep in mind that I did not study that much. I had also taken a Kaplan course several times and could not break 140. My life is really busy and it hasn't been a priority. After reading about our habits, everything clicked for me. When I took the test, I was in autopilot and received the score that I had resigned to get. I don't even remember the questions. All I remember was that some answers just seemed ridiculous. During practice tests, I remember eliminating answers using the same words as we are taught.

LG used to be my strength and I didn't practice it because I wanted to work on other areas. Big mistake! You have to practice, practice, practice! You have to resolve how much this really means to you.

There was/is a posting about the LSAT beast. Forgot his name. He wrote about the intense study sessions he did. He wanted to dominate the LSAT. I received my score a couple of days ago and RESOLVED to study. My friends, social life, family etc. will have to wait.

Do not limit yourself! Shoot for the 180. What are you afraid of? What is the worst that can happen.

Lastly, follow the techniques that you are given. If you can't to a game. Print the 10 copies and do them. Program the HABIT. Is the amount of money you

will spend on printing worth not getting the score you can get? What are you afraid of? Resolve to DOMINATE the LSAT.

I'm retaking it in February.
