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

@xegendary911 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.

@974 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
