@ It refers to the practice of creating multiple gameboards that represent all possible variations of a particular rule. If you don't get yet, don't worry, it will be explained well in the Core Curriculum.
started at a 155, 2 months in hit 165. final score after 3.5 months of studying was 172. would recommend you start repeating logic games until you can do well on them before doing any more PTs.
reread the question stems when you're unsure about the answer
Maybe, but for me the big things I'm looking at in terms of stamina is eating solid meals beforehand, getting quality sleep and exercising daily. Also, training for stamina is fine, but generally speaking if you're extremely competent with question types at your best mentally then you'll still be able to crush them when your brain is starting to tire out.
the trick for me is remembering that every mistake is a lesson. every mistake you make now that you take the time to understand and correct is an immunization against getting an answer wrong like that in the future. and sometimes you get sick when you build immunity, but as long as you vaccinate yourself the right way (blind reviewing, understanding every question and mistake on a conceptual level and not just a particular level) you will start to see results.
If LR is your best section, you might be getting PT results that are approximately 1-3 higher than what you would expect to get on 3 section LSAT if all sections were weighted equally. There's no way to know how LSAC weights each section of the 3 graded sections, of course, but I'm going in assuming that LG/RC/LR are given equal weight to see where I'm at. You can take a regular PT and then use the page below to check what your results on your PTs would look like with equal weighting on each section: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-flex-score-converter/
For me, this made me realize that I actually started from a benchmark of 155, not 157. It pushed me even further to focus up on only logic games since it was by far my worst section.
@ I'm a bit skeptical about the usefulness of separating the section into these categories you describe while doing timed runs. You're probably not going to find a neat fit for a lot of it and I worry that you're gonna end up spending time and mental bandwidth categorizing rather than piecing together the section as a whole.
PTs are old tests, and every test used to have 2 LR. Even if RC is your toughest section, remember that the experimental section is not scored. While it will challenge your stamina, it won't mean you have to be scored on 2 RC sections.
