Update: Took my second PT since finishing the Core Curriculum. I decided to take pt 36 since my games haven't been fool proofed, and to make sure I don't run out of current material later.

PT Breakdown LR -10 RC -5 LR -7 LG -5 = -27 160

Blind Review LR -4 RC -3 LR -2 LG -0 = -9 171

I missed a lot of questions in a cluster on the first section. A homeless person decided to enter the quiet study room of the library and talk to themselves. I was in an existential crisis. I felt bad for the person, but at the same time LSATTT. I actually paused proctor after the sections and hurried to another area. So not completely "Proctored". The RC felt easy, and I was more interested in the topics. LG I skipped a question set and I think that gave me a couple more points this go around. I ran into a game I was vaguely familiar with, but couldn't remember how to set it up.

On a side note it feels really good to hit the 160 mark. I have been a lurker since November of last year for all things law school. I half way studied for a few months with the LSAT Trainer from January to March. I bought 7sage a few months ago and have been going ham(most days). Looking back from the middle of my studies I shouldn't have spent so much time finding a way to study and just studied more. I found 7sage and Mike.Kim.Made.It, but I feel like I lost 2 months that could have been used to fool proof which I didn't really account for. Thanks for reading!

Wow thank all of you for your amazing responses! I have seen a lot of posts at different time points in studying for lsat. Not many where I currently am, so I thought I would add my experience and update it throughout.

The LR I did worse on it because I realized after BR test 60 that I had finished the CC doing only RC and LG the past month. I was a bit rusty. I thought it was my best section until recently. Rc is a bit more tricky. I have gone -1 (rarely) on a section but tend to go -6 to -9. I am aiming for a 180 of course, but a 166 would do for my dream school. I'm hoping to get LR -8 LG -0,-1 and RC -5. If I can't do this before August or getting close I think I will postpone to December.

Done with CC now what

I just finished the core curriculum, yay me. I am taking the Sept Lsat. I took a diagnostic a few months ago and got a terrible 148. I just took my first lsat since then timed proctored etc. I scored a 154 :/ improvement but not much. I did the BR though and scored a 170. I was wondering since it seems that my grasp on the material is good how to improve my actual PT score from here. I am currently fool proofing games. Break down on missed PT -16 LR -8LG -14 RC, BR -10 LR -0LG -3RC. I misread a rule on the last game and missed everyone. I felt really strong during cc on drills. I have trouble concentrating through the test, and feel myself fumbling about and running blindly instead of staying calm and doing what I have been practicing doing. Any tips to improve on anything would be appreciated. 83 DAYS!

Pretty bummed about not being able to use the Mastermind, but can also vouch for the Casio with the rotating bezel.

Same. But, you know what? It actually works great and IMO, now hat I've gotten used to it, it's arguably easier and more reliable. Things built like a damn tank, too.

is the ticking loud or low?

Super quiet. Can't even hear it

Excellent! I remember for the September test I was going crazy trying to find a quiet ticking watch in stores.. I looked like a crazy person who looked like I loved listening to watches tick for the amount of time I was in that section, lmao.

Are you looking for a quiet watch because the ticking will break your concentration?

JY says it shouldn't be an issue. I don't see an issue with Castroing it up either or Schwarzkopfing.

That segment on Chronos has been just added. Wow I'm glad someone checked it. That was not on the page a month ago. I feel like this cycle I am getting ****ed from every side. Next year when I'm done you can take the test a bajillion times and they just adjusted the rules to rekt me in September.

It's a Tag. There isn't even a battery in the watch let alone digital so I don't know how it could be illegal according to the rules. Like I said I'm just a little paranoid about practicing RC in particular with it and being told I can't use it.

Chronograph Watch allowed?

Hi,

Does anyone know if a Chronograph watch is allowed on the test? They have analog automatic versions(aka nondigital). I am about to start practicing PTs and would like to know before I practice with it and acclimate. I have seen past discussions that it is up to the test proctor. So is there no way to know ahead of time if my particular test proctor will decide to let me use a legal item?

Thanks!

@ I've gathered most of this from a series of posts. I did not know it made a difference how low your gpa was from that range. I have a gpa closer to the 2.4. I will have a two year gap so I know that will help with NU. I am aiming for a 171 for NU or WUSTL. If lower (~166) I am considering Emory, UGA, Boulder, and a couple of others. There are a lot of posts regarding splitters and t14s, but not many for t30 schools.

@ I would take any splitter advice you have. I am sub 3.0 and working to see what lsat score could put me where. I mean I want a 180 of course, but I would like to know the possibilities of a 165 compared to a 170 etc.

Would people suggest to foolproof before you even start pting? Do you just practice sections of LR and RC while you foolproof LG?

Can I just print out the RC's from prep test 1-35 for my RC practice? I'm currently doing the LR and LG packets and trying to finish them in the next 3 weeks. I am terrible at RC and need to get it up to par just don't know where to get the practice material.

@ said:

How long did the CC take? Also, how much more confident do you feel since you started 7sage compared to now?

It took me quite awhile because that's how I planned it. If you have no job or have determination, I think it could be done in under two months(if you are rushing). The sooner you start the better. I have a lot more confidence because honestly the way 7sage is setup shows you if you know the material, especially if you have ultimate+. After I upgraded I realized that the hard version of some questions I didn't actually understand.

@ How would you suggest keeping up my LR and RC? Do sections timed and BR? I also have been doing tests because I have adhd and have trouble sitting there for 3 hours. My mind wonders and I look back and have read the same paragraph 4 times. I may cut down to one a week on Saturday.
