I would look at your BR and see where your weaknesses are. If any of them are fundamental skills, redo the CC for those. If there are any question types that you really struggled with, do some more practice sets and watch the explanation videos. If you're really not getting it, rewatch the CC videos. I also would not touch 50+ until you feel more confident-- unless you're testing in September. You don't want to recognize the questions later on when you're really trying to evaluate your progress.

Yes, great tips! I do plan to go over the CC for the ones I'm struggling with to supplement the drilling and make sure I don't just burn material all willy nilly. Thank you!

I think using the post curriculum PTs (36-50) to drill both timed and untimed is a huge help. Specifically, your goal is to ease yourself into this time constraint while still implementing what you have learned. Work on getting faster at this. You want to start by giving yourself maybe an extra 5-10 mins a section. By doing this, you can focus on the fundamentals more, rather then the time constraint. Speeding up is natural once you hone in on the fundamentals anyways, so have more emphasis on putting to work all that curriculum material you have learned.

Also, MAKE SURE you have all this down like the back of your hand so that you may focus on the question contents rather then the way the english is written: know logic indicators (groups) without really thinking much----drill drill drill flashcards; being able to read conditional rules and quickly understand inferences (some, most statements); be able to visually take contrapositives of a long chain in your head; and finally, knowing as many flawed argument structures as possible will help you with a grip of LR question types like NA, W, S, and Flaw.

Feel free to drop me questions at any time if you would like.

Great! I think a way I can incorporate both your and Leah's advice is drilling by question type first, making sure I have those fundamentals down, and then moving on to drilling full sections both timed and untimed. I'll let you know if I have any more questions, thank you for your help!

Thank you for all of your help!

No worries at all, I'm glad my questions helped! I'll be sending you a message in a bit!

Thank you so much for your thorough response, it really helps a lot! Did you find studying with both Powerscore and 7Sage to be complementary where the different approaches helped to solidify the information better? Once you got to 5 sections, did you throw in a writing sample as well, just to get used to having to churn it out at the end?

At this point, do you think it would be detrimental to still take in September considering where I am? I'm already registered and I want to stay positive so that I'm motivated to continue studying, but I need to be real with the fact that there's not a lot of time and it's unlikely I'll get to my target score by then.

Thanks again for your help! Happy Friday!

@ I got a 151 in June -- my hope is to get to160-165 (of course more would be great), PT average is 155. Trying to stay positive but also realistic. Thanks in advance for the advice!
