Finished Core Curriculum about a month ago and haven’t touched LSAT stuff since. I’ve got my first PT scheduled in two days and not sure what I should do to get back into the right mindset.

Should I review some fundamentals (LR question types, reading comp timing) or just go straight into the PT cold to see where I’m at after the break?

Also, any tips for easing back into studying after some time off? I don’t want to burn out right before I start back up again.

Is it a legitimate worry that drilling 'burns' clean questions on future PTs? I have heard that and I was wondering to what extent it is true and how to optimize studying for both. Thank you!

Is there any difference in the core curriculum we have access to on the new site? I just started the logic of intersecting sets on the old site and was wondering if there is anything I should go back to that has been improved or changed or if all the videos are the same. Thank you!

Hey everyone,

Looking for some guidance on where to go from here.

I took my diagnostic a little while back and just sat for my first real PrepTest since studying. I ended up with a 175 timed and a 180 on Blind Review. Definitely happy with the result, but it’s also left me wondering what the smartest path forward is.

A few details/context:

I’ve been studying pretty deliberately for the past few weeks (really just going through the core curriculum)

Timing felt mostly fine on the test, but I could tell I was flirting with the edge on a couple of LR questions at the end (which showed in my section 1 results).

RC was solid but not effortless, I know I can get faster and more consistent.

I’m planning to take the actual LSAT within the next year and want to lock in a high-170s score reliably.

My main questions:

If I’m already testing in the mid-170s, how should I structure my study going forward?

Should I slow down PT frequency and focus more on targeted drilling?

How do I avoid plateauing or getting too comfortable too early?

Is there value in redoing old sections when I’m already at -0 BR?

Any advice on making sure this wasn’t a fluke?

Can someone explain to me why D isn't the 'perfect' answer? It really seems like the word 'replace' here is doing the work to show that it is not something that applies to those who have not cut out red meat. I feel that its fair to hold all else constant (general dietary trends being similar among both groups) and say that the fact that they are REPLACING the red meat that they are cutting out (that the other group is still eating, and thus NOT changed here) with cheese and baked goods. Its not like it says 'cheese consumption has gone up in this group.' Its simply that the act of cutting out red meat TENDS to make you eat more fat than those who do not.

B is also wrong because even if it was focusing on the correct phenomenon (the genetic differences between the different reef populations), it does nothing to explain or resolve this apparent contradiction, it just restates the fact that there is a difference
