Hi friends!
I need some advice on what to do. I have plateaued and I just don't know what to do because I'm supposed to take the LSAT in September. Do you think I should just do basic drills and for a couple days and then take more practice tests? Do I wait to take the text longer? I'm really feeling discouraged
Hi all!
I'm currently studying to take the September or October LSAT. I need advice on which one is better to take! I am a senior in college and trying to study. I am not scoring where I want to right now, but I know I have about 8 or 9 weeks until the September LSAT. My thought process is that if I take the Sept LSAT, and don't perform as well as I want, I have can take the November LSAT. Which one do you think I should go with?
Thanks for all the help :)
You will definitely need more than 45 days in my opinion, however everyone is different. So I decided to sign up for the August test and change to October if by this time next month I don't feel confident in what I'm doing. You can always chose this method, just be prepared to realize that you need more time. I would also discourage doing more than 40 hours of studying because you will burn out. I would recommend studying about 4-6 hours a day Monday through Saturday and then take Sundays off. You need a day to rest and don't be ashamed of needing a day off in the middle if you can't focus. If you can't focus then you can't get anything productive done.
keeping consistency with harder LR questions!
Hi there,
I was hoping for some advice for how to break through the tough 158 to 160s gap. I've tended to score around a 158 and I'm really trying to get to the 160s, is there any advice for anyone who has jumped from the high 150s to low-mid 160s?
I would say to take in October or November! Focus on the basics because there really is a trick to everything. I'm in a similar position and with not breaking through a plateau and once I sat down and wrote out every basic trick that I learned it was significantly more helpful when applying it to my practice.
Hi omg! I felt this exact way last time I took this test last year. The first thing I would say is to rest for a few days and find a new mindset. I would literally cry like on the daily because I wasn't seeing the improvements that I wanted too and it didn't do me any favors when I took the test knowing I wasn't as prepared as I should be. Second, if you have the resources I would suggest finding a tutor to work with. Tutors are life savers mainly because they can point out things that you do and you don't even realize. Third, review the material and go back and see what exactly your weakness is and go from there. I don't know what your goal score is but sounds like if you can get a 158 you are right on your way and the problem is consistency with the basics. So starting back at the basics sounds great. Stay with the october test for now and before the deadline maybe assess how you feel and then switch to the November one. It's so easy to feel defeated with this test, but I learned to look at this test by saying this is not actually that hard, I can master this with the right tools and it's made a world a difference. Fourth, studying for 8 hours a day is way too much. I would study max 4 hours a day and minimum 2 because over 4 hours the information starts to fuse together. Learning to know when to stop is vital for the lsat because similar to you I want to keep going until I get it right and then I frustrate myself a lot. Sending lsat breakthroughs your way!
