Any advice on how to overcome this gap?

For almost every LR question, I can narrow it down to the trap most popular answer and the correct answer. I usually select the trap answer. How do you go about selecting the correct answer instead? Did anybody come across these issues during studying? How did you deal with it and overcome it?
I realized you can only use photos from the last 6 months, so I have to retake mine. How long do I have to upload a new one?
Tips to increase speed on RC passages without missing questions and the right answers?
I don't have anything else going besides working part-time and they accept anybody with a score of 153 +. Of course I'd like to do better than that perhaps 158-160 especially for scholarship purposes. Wondering if I should just write the LSAT until I get the desired score and apply right on the day applications open for Fall 2020. Thoughts?
How long will it take it improve?
Yeah my plan was never a T14 because I want a full ride so yeah should be good with a 3.7
Okay yeah I’m pretty sure they use a 4.0 system. Wow good for you that’s an amazing GPA. In Canada they look at last two years for law schools so my gpa would have been higher than a 3.7 but oh well! Thanks for the comment!
Does anybody know the formula US schools use to convert Canadian GPAs?
I have a 3.7 (A-) in Canada but not sure what it will be when I apply to a US law school.
It was about two years ago and I believe I ended up getting frustrated and guessed on many questions. It probably wasn’t a good indication of my dry score. I decided to not write another one dry since I had no prior knowledge or techniques to apply on the exam so I felt it was useless. I’ve heard a lot of people feeling that way too. I got about half way through LR and realized that I needed background info on it so I read three other resources before I started it again. I’m finding RC and Games in the CC more helpful. So to answer your question, no I have not completed CC yet. I have some background now on LR and I’m familiar with the LR question types and have some techniques for tackling them and I have yet to complete RC and Games from the CC before I attempt another PT. Thank you for your encouragement!
That’s a good point and makes sense. I feel a bit rushed because I would like to start law school next Fall and need to write the test by June 2019 max. Of course my chances of getting in at that point will be slim since the deadline for applications are around that time.
I wrote it dry and scored a 120 but I’m hoping with the work I’ve been doing to understand the test and practice I’ll have improved. I want to try to write one as soon as I finish the Games and RC curriculum. I used other resources for LR but I come back to 7Sage if I’m really struggling with a question type.
Hi everyone,
I’m curious to see how everyone’s progress went. I’ve been studying consistently for a little over a month now (started looking at the LR section in July and tried to find the best techniques and learning strategies for me), and I’m doing practice questions in LR specifically, and I’m usually getting about 50% of them correct. Should I be really concerned? How did everyone else improve on the LR section? I think that I’ll need to move my test date to January since I’m not even through the RC or Games curriculums yet. Thoughts? Any comments are appreciated!
So basically when I do a timed test or section I do shit like 11/25 and then I redo it without checking the answers and I get like 18/25. It’s like my own fear of a new section freaks me out. Does this happen to anyone else?! Anybody have suggestions?! I literally know how to do it and do fine but this happens because of my anxiety. Is it worth skimming each Q quickly first before tackling the section. Such a weird problem I know but I’m so close to my goal it drives me insane how I go from 150-160 because of this.
Thank you for the advice. I will definitely use it going forward in my prep. Do you know generally how long it will take to get that BR close to your timed score? I'm studying roughly 4-6 hours a day.
