My average passage read time is 3:15.

My average passage question time is 5:15.

So, roughly 40% read time and 60% question time.

My average RC scores run from 17-21 correct answers.

I feel like I need to slow down a little on the read, because I find myself looking back for the "author would likely agree" and "what can we infer about author's attitude" type questions.

Is it reasonable to think that by slowing down on the read I can answer questions more quickly?

I'm just trying to figure out what conclusions I can draw with the info above to help me in my preparation.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey Everybody--

At 43, I'm probably one of the older (oldest)? Sagers, from 1999-2013 I sold legal research and related products to hundreds of law firms. (Thx West!)

Anyway, my college years were back in the early-mid 90's grunge years. So it was a while since I took an exam. I took the LSAT diag test and got punched, kicked and humiliated. I've never suffered from 'smartest guy in the room' syndrome but I expected to score better. And I just felt defeated.

Over the last 18 months or so, I've gone through the course-- twice. Due to necessity. Sorry for sounding like a greeting card but life didn't really care about my time frames and I had to put down the books for stretches of time.

While my timing and consistency need improvement, my highest practice test was in the high 150's. But I'm still not comfortable opening an official test booklet and thinking that I can replicate or improve upon that score.

I've got 30 recent prep tests printed and ready to take. But I don't want to burn any until I feel more prepared.

My study/prep plan is as follows so please let me know if it's a good one:

-print out the roughly 100 logic games tests and take each one as many times as necessary until it fits JY's time constraints

-2-3 per day feels reasonable, or 90 minutes, whichever comes first.

-full review, again, my formal logic, intersections, rule triggers, premise/conclusion ID's, and valid/invalid arg's etc.

-use older tests (7-18)--simultaneously with everything above- to test time constraints. of course, blind review.

-i'll try to prep a max of 2-3 hours daily-- more than that, i think will lead to burnout

-this should take me through early-mid-summer and have me taking prep tests from then until december

-sit for the december test--

I think the above schedule will allow me to hit my goal of 80 correct questions.

If a different schedule makes more sense, please let me know. Thanks Sagers......
