Hi Everyone. I am a PhD student in biomedical and I will defend my PhD in 3-4 months. I took the September exam and ended up with 137. I had some practice but not much. Since then I had no more attempt and completely gave up. I do better at Games and worse at RC. The problem is, I have to translate it in my mind and the time is not sufficient for that.
Do you think I can get 160+ for next June if I keep practicing and what is your main advice to me?
Thanks
@ Did they? How you found it? I have never heard about it!!
Thanks! I will get into it but it is really hard for me to start again. I am not sure how it is plausible to score 165+
Hi Guys, I am in MN too. did you started your plan? Can I join?
Yes I know it is hard. I am not sure what should I read? just the passages in previous LSATs?
@ Thanks for your thoughts. Actually the games are the best part of me I miss at most 4 of them! JY was great in LG he thinks exactly like me and due to my engineering back ground I am familiar with these type of questions.
I need some score around 165+ . I know that is very hard though!
Hi all,
I got my PhD in Electrical and computer engineering and currently doing my postdoc in biomedical. I took LSAT Sep 2017 without any preparation and scored 137. I started to study for LSAT for about 5 months. I also took the power score classes in addition to 7 Sage. I studied all the materials and took most of the PTs. I also started to read books in train or bus, to improve my reading skills. In 2018 I scored 153. That was very discouraging to me. I wanted to give up but I still believe there should be a method for us as non- native to pass this exam. What I learned is I am not fast reader which I need to be. I know the principles but I am always short in time and this issue is very bold in RC. I will never get to finish more than 2 passages in RC. I can read science passages better than the others. When it comes to humanities or history,... I am the most dumb person ever :( I cant read and understand at the same time. Mostly, I need to read twice a passage to get the point. In LR, in the best case, I will miss last 3-4 questions. LR is better than RC because the questions are short and I wont loose the track. I can finish the games better than other sections.
If I want to try in one more time (I guess that is the last time I will try) in June 2019, what you will suggest? What else can I read/practice? How long each day should I study for LSAT?
I appreciate ant thought.
Thanks for suggestions. Anyway I have to stop translating in mind. Like when I talk. I never think when I talk. But I have to reread when I read a passage several times to understand. Interestingly, I do better with those science passages because I used to read those a lot. I know I need much more practice. But do you think 2h a day is enough?
