Drilling Specific RC Question Types

I've been struggling a lot with MP RC questions lately. Been working on trying new strategies to get better, but it would be helpful if I could drill old passages and only answer the MP question - that way I could stack a ton back to back and test my new methods without getting bogged down by other questions. It got me thinking it would be helpful to customize RC drills so I could choose to only have one question type show up, so I could focus on refining that specific skill - even if that meant only answering one question after a passage.

It would even just be helpful to filter passages that have certain question types.

Thank you! Wishing everyone the best of luck in the home stretch.

Some people highlight, others swear against it - I find highlighting helps me stay engaged with the passage so that my mind doesn't glaze over like you described. I highlight definitions, author's perspective, key arguments - not to reference them later, just to make sure I'm actively engaging with the passage. Sometimes time management is a struggle when I'm highlighting, though, so I've been trying to reduce the amount of time I'm spending on each passage. Worth giving a shot and seeing if it helps you stay engaged, since it's been great for me.

Occasionally, I feel this way when I start a practice exam or timed section. Has never been a permanent problem - usually, I find that the "fog" stems from residual stress from other aspects of my life (personal/professional) that makes it hard to devote all my mental energy to the exam.

I find it helpful to address whatever issues are clouding my mind - whether it's tasks from work, texts I haven't replied to, or whatever - when it happens. Even if it means I have to study when I'm more tired, I think it's better to be fully present than waste an hour with unproductive test prep.

Agree with people saying "push through." Take a break for an hour and just try again. You'll get into the flow once you're present.

Test Timeline Advice

Hi everyone -

I've been studying on and off for the LSAT for over a year now, but began studying more seriously for the exam in December. I'm planning on applying by mid-September for the upcoming cycle and am registered to take the exam in June.

I'd like to get a 175+, but I have been frustratingly hovering around ~171 for the last few months.

Few questions:

1) Should I plan on taking the exam in August as well? I was hoping to focus exclusively on applications after June (and get a much-needed break from prep), but I am willing to take some extra time to get the score I want. Since it'll take a few weeks for the score to come out, I am not sure if I should just continue to study during that period.

2) Would it be worth investing in a tutor this late into May for the June exam?

Thanks everyone!

I prefer the old format - agree with everyone saying to change it back!
