I took the november, that was my first test and I am applying for fall 2023. January is going to be my goal date to score where I need to. I am not a very motivated studier tbh, but my plan for the January test is to do as many drills as possible to improve where I struggle most, and try to take a PT every week. I am working with a tutor (or "LSAT coach") through 7Sage, and he recommends that I study for at least 1-2 hours per day, and take PT's 1-2x per week for the next weeks leading up to the exam.
(More info- I started studying about 5 weeks ago and am looking to improve 5 points, so I may need to have a more rigorous plan than others).
Good luck, we can do it!!
I am taking it in about 2 hours- it's my first LSAT and I have only been studying for about 5 weeks. I am also taking January, but I am hoping to do as well as I know I can today!
If any seasoned test takers want to add some last minute advice to this thread, all would be welcomed by me! Good luck everyone!!!
Timing is hard for me too! I have advice but it may only apply to the LG section:
What worked for me to improve in that department was to do drills untimed first. I would just take my time with them and just make sure I actually understood how to do the problem, even if it took me an hour. Then I would check my answers, watch the explanation videos, and once I understood what I was doing or where I went wrong originally I would try the question untimed again. I would do this same thing with a few questions, and then a few hours or days later I would try the exact same questions again but this time I would check the "target time", and although I still set the timer to unlimited I would try to see how close I could get to that target time. This has been my method for a few weeks now. Eventually, I ended up becoming pretty good at hitting the target time or getting really close to it for questions I had never even tried before!
Basically, once you fully understand the different things that can show up and stop worrying about the time, it makes it a lot easier to conquer at a faster rate without even trying. I still struggle, and maybe did not get every question correct, but I will say that I was able to finish all of my LG sections on time during the November test after not even coming close on my September PT!
Not sure if this was much help, but just throwing it out there! Good luck, we got this
