@ thank you

@ could you tell us how long it took you to get there and what helped the most to increase your score?Thanks.

Congrats!!!!!

@ Thank you :smile:

this is by far the worst question on this test...

" You buy dildos for all you want, it's a free country" hahaha.

My very first prep test I scored a 153, and then after about 4 months of self study with power score books I took the official LSAT last June and scored a 164. I then took off from June until the next may. I've been studying since late May and I'm PT'ing around 167/169 hoping to get to the low 170's by September. Whoever said you can only improve by 5 or so points probably didn't use 7sage lol

This gives me hope, thanks for this.

While I understand why B is the right answer I am questioning the reason why A is wrong. Is it because we don't know how many times total the coin has been tossed? #help

This is a good question. I haven’t taken the LSAT yet, but my first PT score wasn’t great. It’d be interesting to know how much you can actually improve though. I’ve read that it’s only 5 or so points but I am hoping this isn’t always the case.

I can relate to this as well. I have been missing out on so many events and by the time I am done studying I am probably not gonna have any friends left haha.

Congrats on the 175 :)

@ @ thanks guys, that makes me feel better. I was worried I may not have enough space.

#help JY dismisses the AC E for question 1 and while I can see why A is the right AC for question 1 idk why E isn't. Can someone please explain?

@ @ thanks guys, something definitely to work on.

I do this too and it's super frustrating. My problem is that I tend to overthink easy questions thinking there is no way the very obvious answer choice is the right one. I am hoping this gets better with practice. I would love to know other people's strategies on how to avoid this as well.

@ hey could you explain on how the Economist is helpful? I’ve seen that too but just don’t know how it would help improve the RC.

Thanks!

@ do you know how many pages that includes?

I don't think the timing would make much of a difference but if it does I'd like to know that as well.

@ sounds like you are doing the pomodoro technique( studying for 25 mins and taking a 5 min break). I switched it up a bit by studying for 45 mins and giving myself 10-15 min breaks.

I totally misread the word dearth, I thought it said death.

I was stuck between AC D and E and ended up choosing AC E, however listening to JY's explanation, I understand why D is right. For anyone else that's struggling between D and E, I think D is right because the question asks for the MOST strengthening answer choice. D is a stronger choice than E because D uses a specific example( i.e cash flow) mentioned in the stimulus rather than just stating that businesses need to take into account monthly and non monthly expenses.

@ how long did it take you to close the gap?

Commenting to get this thread on top. I often wonder how other non-native english speakers have done it as well. Mine journey has been kind of similar with high BR scores while kind of significantly lower in my timed ones.

Thank you! Hoping people will reach out with some advice.

You are very close! I was in the same position a few months back. My BR scores were in the 160s now they are mostly 172 and above. Honestly what worked for me is to continue doing timed tests and a thorough BR. I've i stared seeing improvements after about 10 tests. Now my goal is to raise my timed score closer to my BR.

ill look into that, thanks so much!

"That's what she said" hahaha
