@ I think you are absolutely correct. I never thought of it this way. By me knowing which answers are wrong even though I don't 100% know which one is correct I have a much higher chance of getting it right when I was already between the two answers in the first place. I am going to try it with taking the test first pass, circling any question I cannot eliminate all four wrong answers, and then go back like you suggest and justify my answer before seeing the wrong answers. I think I am more excited about finding out how many I got right or wrong, which is ultimately hindering me from truly understanding what I do and do not know. Thanks for your observation and tips.

@ I am at PT 159, and I would say I have taken 10-12 Full PT's. 75% of Course. My score range is very large. Even if I do not limit myself the first time to 35 mins I still miss a lot on the first time. Basically when I take the test the first time my score ranges between 150-158. I then circle the questions I got wrong without looking at the correct answer and re answer them and I get in the 170-177 range. I also review the questions that I got right but circled because I had trouble with. I am constantly in the back of my mind thinking about the time on the first pass, even if I am not actually taking the test timed, but when I'm blind reviewing the correct answer just makes since and I don't have a hard time picking it out. I just don't know how to close the gap, and get the correct answer the first time.

Blind Review vs. Actual

I have been studying for months on end and I am not sure how to get my actual score to match my blind review score. When I take the test first pass even if I don't time myself I get between -8/-12 per section on Logical Reasoning, -0/-1 on logic games, and -9/-14 on reading comprehension. However when I blind review I get almost every single question correct. However I am stuck as to how to get the correct answer the first time. On the LR section it is typically the middle and end that I get incorrect and I am usually down to two answers but always seem to pick the incorrect one the first time. I am scheduled to take the LSAT June 2015 but desperately want a high score. Can anyone help with tips or ideas to close the gap between actual vs. blind review. Has anyone else seen similar results while preparing?

Thank you

You cant say what the sections where you had? By name only. Without any information about the questions?

Yes I agree the LG section was brutal. I usually do -0/-1 on LG and i had to guess on an entire game because nothing made sense. I had [removed]. I do feel good about the writing section! LOL
