Hi! So what I started doing is doing the passages that I know I'm better at first, regardless of what order they come in. For example, I know I am much stronger at humanities passages and very bad at law passages. I took a practice test yesterday where the humanities passage came third, and the law came first. So what I did was do the humanities first, focused on getting those right in the right amount of time, and then did the law passage last (still despite it being first). This is because I know I am more likely to get law wrong anyways, so I tried to maximize the amount I got right at the beginning when my mind is fresh and then save that for last!

The only thing with this approach is that you have to be quick from the get go--dont waste time deciding on which one to do first--just go and do it! For me, harder science and law passages go over my head anyways, and when I do them before humanities and other easier passages, I lose time and ultimately stress myself out when I get to the ones I know I'm good at. I think this approach might be worth a try!

Thank you for the insight! I'm gonna try this approach today! My LSAT is a week out I need all the help and advice I can get!

Literally me, even though they are typically the harder passages. I feel like it's honestly because I start to get into a little bit more of a groove and for some reason stop second guessing myself, but I don't know how to fix this for test day :(

Are you testing in August?

dang so we all struggling

So I noticed I am starting to do well on the first two passages when a do a 4 passage 35 min RC drill (trying to get used to reading without fatiguing so it doesn't happen test day), but towards the middle passage i feel like i lose all comprehension of what I'm reading or it'll take me tons of time and then I still get them wrong. I have dyslexia (unfortunately I wasn't able to get a updated diagnosis before registration deadline), so reading typically takes me longer as is and burns me out quicker. If any of y'all have any tips or ideas to help me not bomb the middle-end of the RC sections I would be very grateful. Note- im averaging around 154, highest timed score 158, and blind reviewing around high 150s low 160s

i think part of it is nerves too. Bc I feel like when i read the question without time it makes so much sense to me.

Thank you so much Zjjenks11, i'll definitely give it a try.

i have been blind reviewing at 162 but averaging around 153 for my actual exam, I'm honestly super discouraged, because I know I can do better in the 'real' test but the time conditions feel so heavy. I'm suppose to take my test in august before my senior year starts, and since I'm aiming for 2026 law school my applications need to be in relatively soon. if anyone has any advice or encouragement I'd be very grateful. Im not giving up, I just need some more hope.

Mr. Fat Cat- analogous:

I didn't water my garden this morning, but when I came home, it looked hydrated and the neighbor's hose was left out. Therefore, the neighbor must have watered my garden for me.

can someone tell me if this logic is right. To be in the grocery cart it must be a food. Dessert is a type of food so it is suffient to be put in the cart. However, to be in the cart it does not have to be dessert. But if there is dessert in the cart then it must be a food.

this is how i break it up in my mind

grocery cart- superset

food- subset of cart

dessert- subset of food

Confirm action

Are you sure?
