Definitely readspeeder and the book "Speed Reading with the Right Brain: Learn to Read Ideas Instead of Just Words" I just got the book, and the program is free and they have helped me with reading speed and comprehension a ton. I wish I would have gotten them when I started studying lol. This Reddit post actually helped me a lot. https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/balthx/unconventional_rc_advice_from_someone_who_went/

Yes!!! Love this idea

I am on such an uphill and downhill swing. My Sections I do consistently 6-7 points better on than my PT's (PT'S avg is 155,while if you combine my sections my average is 162/163) a bit frustrating. Plus I feel like I always rush through PT's, any advice?

This sounds like it may be a timing issue with all the sections combined. I experienced something similar about a month and a half ago. Have you tried going through a normal practice test (as you normally would) but without restraining yourself to 35 minutes? Really soaking in the material and going at a pace you feel comfortable while maintaining focus. I still keep an eye on the clock but really do this to make myself more comfortable in RC in particular. This eliminates the feeling of rushing through a PT- I felt the exact same way. I still do PT's where I don't strictly time and my score has seriously really improved in my timed ones. I don't think it's too late for you to employ this strategy. Also, maybe focus on getting LG to a -0; this also really boosted my score. I normally get -0/1, at most -3.

Thank's for this! I'll def start trying it out. Yeah when it comes to drilling I kill it (esp with LR and LG) where as I feel like a rush a bit through RC and LR on actual tests, LG for some reason I have a really good grasp on, and see it as a "relax" session as I enjoy doing the games.

Update, I got lsat demon live-I go to between 3-6 hours of classes today, the format has kept me honest with studying and I don't believe I'll be burning out and have already improved a good amount.

Good-luck everyone, your hard work is about to pay off and remember we still have more chances for applying early in the Fall. :D

IMO, I’d avoid doing 7 days a week, as it not only makes burnout more likely, but it also leaves your mind with no time to rest and absorb what you’ve learned. I think you’ll get more “bang for your buck” at 6 days a week.

The previous poster is absolutely right about focusing on fundamentals first and foremost, and unless there’s great need, I advise against studying to a deadline - study until you’re ready.

Thank you!

Yeah I decided I'm going all out sun-thur, 1 hour of just alittle bit of reading lessons Friday, and practice tests sat. (Hopefully it all works good!)

I see this comment/question asked quite a bit on this forum and for a sincere, genuine response, there is no magic number of hours to hit when studying for this test. It's the quality of time spent rather than the amount of time you practice. You want to make sure you have a solid grasp on the fundamentals and spend time applying those to PTs. Once you start hitting your target score consistently, then people usually suggest signing up for the test. Since you are signed up for June, I would spend most of your time working through the Logical Reasoning in the core curriculum as it sets yourself up nicely for Logic Games. Additionally, be mindful of burnout. It's happened to most of us, myself included, and if you try to study when you are tired/not mentally attune, it will be a waste of time since you won't be absorbing information. I originally signed up with 7Sage in September 2020 to take the January 2021 test and was not ready for it (to my annoyance) and then signed up for April and STILL wasn't happy with my score and finally pushed it back to June. My point being, if you don't have to, don't force the test to work with your timeline, rather prepare yourself and crush the LSAT so you wont ever have to worry about it again :) Good luck!

Thank you so much for the response, this was genuinely helpful :smile: . I will take this advice and see where I am when around the time comes!

Interested!
