Self-study
Hi all, I'm posting so as to ask for help in regards to how I should be interpreting my PT scores. When I take the LSAT this coming December, I'm aiming for a 169+. If I don't get that, I'm retaking. Also, come December I intend to have taken at least 35 PTs. I'm working towards that goal now, and am about 2/5ths of the way through.
I don't know what to make of my PT scores. I've been told that people generally score lower on the real test than they do on PTs, which is worrying to me, given that my current average is roughly a 170. In any case, I'm curious as to what kind of PT scores people who have taken the test and who have score at or about my goal were averaging. I'm wondering basically whether the fact that I'm not doing better, or the potential that I might not do substantially do better as I work my way through the rest of my PTs, is a problem.
Thanks
@974, thanks for your response, I appreciate it. I was deliberately vague about my PT average because I haven't actually sat down yet to average it, but basically, besides the 2 PTs that I got that were in the mid-170s (174,176), everything has more or less been in the 167-171 range. In any case, if you don't mind me asking, how many more tests would you recommend that I take, if not the 21 or so I had planned? As well, if you've taken the test already yourself, what was your experience in regards your average scores on the PTs in comparison to what you got on the actual test? Would you say that you got what you expected to get, or no?
