I took it without the spell check and just made sure to be really careful when checking it. Just take it.

Thank you so much! I will definitely try your tips!

Hi guys! A little update... I'm trying to make the jump from 167 to 170. My BR score right now is 177. I missed 16 on PT 68 and missed 18 on 71. What is your advise? I'm planning to take the LSAT this November. I'm aiming for the top 14, so I don't know if 167 would still be a decent score. I really do want to break into the 170s if possible though. I'm studying full time so please give me your tips

I don't know of any, but what I did was basically copy the grammar PDF that was given, but write that out myself. I find that I learn best by writing stuff and then just having it on my study table to look over everyday.

I think it could be helpful if you had real questions to ask them. You can always call them and speak to someone. They usually do get your information and may even offer you a fee waiver!

I think that's a great idea if you think he will write an amazing letter. Probably sit and talk with him about what your goals are and what you think he specifically can speak to that others cannot about you. I did have a supervisor from my internship write a letter for me and I think she saw a different side of me rather than just professors in a classroom setting.

Hey! I completely understand your frustration and confusion. What I recommend is taking timed sections of tests and then BR-ing the test thoroughly. I've been able to increase my score greatly in logical reasoning by doing that. Also, use the analytics tool to see what areas you may be weaker in and then drill those certain question types. I feel like after you see questions for so long and write the explanations out, it finally starts to click. Take a break and don't feel guilty either! Try to just do at least one timed section with thorough BR/watch videos :)

Oops, made a mistake

Hey! I am stuck in the low 160s, but my BR score is 173+. How do you recommend studying to increase towards a 170?

If it helps you with a timeline, I took the November 2018 Test which I was unprepared for and scored a 152 then I took the July 2019 test, scored a 162, so that took me about 9 months. Then now in practice I score in the high 160s low 170s. So it took me another few months to go from low to mid 160s to high 160s and 170.

@ I haven't taken the writing at all, so that's why I'm confused. I saw it said we can take it up to one year after, but are there certain dates or is it just whenever I login? I'm scared to click something on LSAC and mess up because it says I can start the writing, but I'm not sure.

I would love to study together. I'll message you!

Thank you so much!

And for the last game where, I placed the Q letter in 4 instead of 5. So I don't know how much that would mess me up...so upset with myself honestly.

Hey! I had 3 LR as well.

I also remember the Lemurs and primates, tulles, and acidic water.

I remember the trucks and insurance, but I don't really remember Napolean or haunted house. But I remember air pollution, so I'm confused if some of the questions overlapped or if I just forgot them.

My worst section was LR26 then... LR25:

@ said:

@ do you have a LR section with galaxy quetion？ Or a LR section with healthy fish leaders？

I had three LR sections. I did not have an LR section with healthy fish. I did have a galaxy-related question about radiation of stars (not sure if that counts as "galaxy").

Questions I sort of remember:

LR25: Lemurs and primates, turtles and acidic water,

LR26: somehow can't remember any but it was pretty difficult I thought!

LR25: british port, chinese tea, political parties and voting, trucks and insurance, elementary schools (two different questions with different stims), Napoleon and arsenic, haunted house, air pollution and rain, (from what I've read, this seems to be the experimental)

I had LG LR LR RC LR

To be honest, I just hope it's not the last LR. I don't really remember much from it, but I do remember the other LR. I had the fish leading question, acidic rain questions, universe questions, but no haunted house question that I remember.

Same

Hey! I feel like I also sometimes blame the sections, so that's why I'm just sitting down patiently and reviewing the test once more. It was my first time doing the digital online for PT 70 where I got the 164. I got impatient...I know I shouldn't have, but I wanted to know my score and see how 7sage new feature works. It was really helpful to see where I was switching answers and I'm going to keep working on this. I'm sitting down patiently and BR-ing effectively on paper and writing out my explanations. Do you think this is a good approach? Take the test digitally, BR on paper and write out explanations.

Also, with the July retake option available and getting to see the score before, it seems like a good idea to just take the test. Thank you for your advise!

I would wait to take the test until your scores are more consistent. Try to locate the problem of what is causing the fluctuation in scores. Whenever I did bad on the test, I would just blame the test and say that the test was b.s or they put a messed up game or r.c passage and practically ignored it. I noticed I was BR'ing it less than tests I would get above 170 on because I was pissed and was so eager to just move on from a bad score. It ended up costing me on the real test. The good thing is your BR scores are consistent and high which shows you understand the concepts. With the digital version, it makes it easier to understand where the problem is because you can see the time you allocated to each question/game/passage and really examine what went wrong.

Definitely! This was really helpful and I'm going to keep working. Especially with the July retake option available and getting to see the score before, it seems like a good idea. Thank you for being so encouraging!

I think I was just hoping for others' stories who have had success going up 5ish points towards 170 and looking for strategies that worked for them!

The progress that you’ve made so far is incredible! I wouldn’t stress out too much about 1 test. There are so many variables that can go into a single test score: environment (as you mentioned), alertness, maybe the section that you struggle on the most was unusually hard this time, etc. Maybe the 170 was unusually high, or the 164 unusually low, who knows? IMO, the best way to find out where you’re really at is to take the average of 5 or so recent test scores, if you’re taking them frequently.

Keep grinding and don’t psych yourself out. If you get the 170 in July, then great! If you need to take it again in the fall to get the score you want, then that’s fine too.

Why T14 or bust? We have no way of knowing if you can reach 170 by July but the good news is that you have scored a 170 on a real timed PT. Focus on replicating that success between now and July! Good luck
