Dear 7sage,

Recently, I have been taking a lot of sections to drill some of my weaknesses. I just wish you would have a separate analytics system where I can insert problem sets I have done. I understand looking at tests, but I would argue that getting to the nitty gritty of analytics within section types means I can tailor more of my effort towards a given area. I do not want to have to take a test every time I am looking for my LR weaknesses, nor write down over 150+ questions and create my own trends. This is because your version and visualization of analytics truly allows me to see where I should focus my time at. Please try to do this with problem sets too!

let me give you some context before I ask you questions. I have been studying since early-mid August until now, but I really started studying in October. I have taken 4 practice tests and have only BR'd two of them. I have done multiple LR sections. I am naturally good at LG. Anyways, I take PT 54 and make a 152....my freaking diagnostic score....after all this studying. Then, I take a 1 day break and BR. My BR was a 167, but here is the weird thing. I remember on this 1st try for PT 54 I spent so much time thinking about answer choices, passages, ect. and I really think that is, in part, one of the biggest factors to why I am missing so many questions on the real timed exam. Timing isn't an issue either, in fact, in the BR I used a different strategy to approaching the passages, where I cared more to understand the structure of the passage rather than the content. In BR for LR, I trusted my gut on the answer choices and critiqued the wrong choices AFTER picking a right one (I usually critique AC before choosing a right one). Obviously if in my critique I think something is right then I analyze my 1st pick. All in all, I went from -13 RC -9 LR and -5 LG to -7 RC -2 LR and -1 LG.

Can someone explain if my though process is right on this? Do I simply need to practice, understand the material, and trust my instinct more? In BR the 1st AC I chose usually looks blatantly wrong so why doesn't this happen when I am actually taking the test?

What's up! So I am looking for a study group that can meet close to 4-6 days a week and review one section of LR until the end of November (Also maybe doing LG here and there, but I will probably do it more on my own time as it is my strength). Starting December I will work to take 2-3 Tests a week and review only. January will be the same thing. Specifically for people who are 160ish + My goal for January is a 165+ and im pretty determined so ambitious people only!

P.S.

Sorry if I sound rude in this post, but I have been in a million groupme's and none of them work so I am going to limit it to like 3-5 people.

I feel like I have no one supporting me, no one competing with me, understanding my struggles, and sacrificing with me. I want this group me to be positive af, informative, and helpful. I take my LSAT in January and just did my 2nd PT and hit 160. I want 170 by January! Here is the link to join https://groupme.com/join_group/61773609/7zGuYuR3

My diagnostic score was a 153. I plan to take the LSAT in January which gives me roughly 6 months. I plan to study 1-2 hours every day 5 days a week and take 1 PT a week starting mid October. Is it possible to hit 168? My lowest by far was RC. I haven't delved into the course content yet on it because im doing logic games. Should I be working on that right now since I started studying or is it ok if I do LR and LG and then move to RC?
