Okay so I wrote last July, not prepared enough, enticed by the freebie, got a 152 and cancelled, target score is a 163-164. So that means I have the free retake in April but I am only 35% through CC and will also still be taking a full course load, thus I wouldn't as prepared as I could be. It's for these reasons that I want to take in August but I also don't want to wait the April opportunity.
My question to you guys is, Would a hypothetical LSAT score history of a cancelled score, a 155-158 (if I took in April) and then a score of around 164 (goal score for August) look bad to schools?
I'm aiming for a 160 as well, I've had the best results in LR by going immediately to #11, and spending most of the time up front on the harder questions, getting to he end with around ~18 mins remaining, while starring tough questions and skipping any PR/PF questions before going back to #1 and do 1-10, then hit those starred questions and then finally the PR/PF questions before reviewing.
For RC, I have less of a strategy, but will still star lots of tricky questions to come back to, my thing with RC is to really just visualize an the author and get into the material and tone. I have a hard time assess during the section which passages are the hardest vs easiest so I tend to just go first to last.
Edit: Oh yeah, and good luck, we got this.
