Self-study
Hey everyone,
I recently completed the June LSAT and scored a 169. I know it's a good score, but it was under my target of 170, so I've decided to take it again in September before applying in October.
So far I've only studied on my own (that is, without a formal class), using LSAT PrepTest books and the logic games tutorials provided on this website. I've gotten pretty good at logic games, consistently scoring between 0-2. However, I'm less consistent at logical reasoning and reading comprehension. On average, I miss 3 per section, but it can vary between 0-6. I was regularly scoring 170-173 in the timed preptests I took leading up to the June LSAT, but I performed poorly on the reading comprehension section, which led to me scoring below my practice scores.
I'm now considering buying the LSAT Ultimate + course in order to guide my study over the next two months. I can spend 15 hours per week studying for the LSAT. So I'm wondering: is buying the LSAT Ultimate + worth it in terms of nailing down consistency in scoring in the low 170s in LR and RC? And if so, what what you recommend I focus on given the time available to me to study?
I answered "D" instead of "C" for question 20. I did this mainly because the sentence in the first paragraph that begins, "Traditionally, most physicians and ethicists have agreed..." However, I guess this answer is not as good as C because, as JY points out, D refers to multiple requirements, whereas the sentence I just pointed out only references one requirement, equipoise. I would be interested to hear others' takes on why D is wrong for question 20.
