Self-study
I am still trying to get the timing right. Recognize that there will be questions that I will have to skip and come back to if I have time at the end. Would really benefit hearing from those of you who finish all the questions within the 35 min and still maintain good accuracy on how you pace yourself and what are the benchmarks you stick to when doing timed PTs. By all means they are meant to be flexible.
From what I have read:
LR- First 10 in 10 min or less (and if possible first 15 in 15 min)
LG- Easy games under 5 min (someone wrote doing the first two games within 15 min)
RC- Easy passages under 7 and hard passages under 9 (aim to finish the first two passages within 15 min)
I am in the same boat with you guys. Taking the Feb LSAT and applying by early March will put you at a strategically disadvantageous position. Law schools admit students on a rolling basis and unless you have a stellar LSAT score like 170+, most of the seats will have been already filled by then. I was hoping to apply this year as well but I have decided to wait until next year. Now retaking the June LSAT and will focus on trying to get better at LR which is where I lost a lot of points. PT 71 was a tough test and it had a -13 curve for 170. Good luck if you are retaking the Feb LSAT!
