I'm not an expert by any means, so take this advice with a grain of salt. I would take a PT and do a really solid BR to help you understand where your weak points are. Based on your results from the June test, it seems like you could benefit from revisiting the foolproof method of LG. I would consider revisiting the LG drills from the curriculum to really solidify your strategy. I personally supplemented my course with the Powerscore Logic Games Bible, but I'm not sure that it really added much.

In terms of LR and RC, I think your decision to revisit the curriculum should be based on whether or not you have a good understanding of the fundamentals. Are there specific question types that you are not understanding? When you BR, are you able to understand why the right answer choice is right and why the others are wrong? For example, if you are always making mistakes on weakening questions and don't understand why the right answer choice is right, then you should probably revisit the lessons on that specific question type.

I don't think that the increase you are looking to make is unrealistic given your plan to study full time. That being said, if you don't see the increase in a month or so, I would consider postponing your rewrite.

@ @ Thanks guys! I had an idea about what to do, but hearing it out from other people makes it feel like a more legitimate game plan. I can't stop second guessing myself after spending the last month overconfident about my score lol

I'm in a similar position. Scored 6 points below where I wanted to be. I think my plan is to take a PT from the 50s or 60s and really analyze my weak spots based on my BR. Then, I will make a plan of attack. I think that will involve revisiting some curriculum, watching webinars, re-working my strategy in certain sections, etc. Then drill and PT until September!

@ could you add me as well?

I just wanted to update everyone and say that this was a nonissue for me today, incase you make a similar mistake in the future.

Thank you so much for your responses. I will definitely try a few of your suggestions.

@ It wont let me because my course expired! Is there another place I can leave a review?

@ A year! Wrote in June as well but wasn't happy with my score

Diagnostic: 150, Sept Score: 170! Congrats on the 160, a 15pt increase is a big accomplishment

Thank you all!!

My unsolicited bias tells me that you should stick to the west so that we have a shot of going to school together again :)

@ Wow, it's nice to finally hear from someone else who had that section. I was starting to think I imagined the entire thing.

I don't know if this had been said, but my experimental RC had a passage about Kafka.

Sorry to be a pain - I changed my username (formerly heatherm93). Can I be re-added?

@ You could try, but keep in mind that it's too late to change it at this point. If it would ease your mind though, you might as well give it a shot.

I wish that I had looked at this forum before I took PT 76 today. I was advised to take this last one under more relaxed conditions, so I did it without the experimental and took short breaks between sections. I was feeling confident until I scored it, and well... I think we all can guess how this story ends. I went from an average of -1 in LR to -8 in one LR section. I would STRONGLY recommend avoiding the mistake I made, and staying away from a possible shake in confidence this close to Monday.

@ One of the few factors that you can control is your confidence in your abilities when you sit for the test. I would avoid anything that could potentially undermine my personal ability to perform at my optimum.

This.

Everyone's different, but I know what I would do if I could go back in time. Good luck on Monday, regardless!

This was LSAC's response this morning

You would not be able to change your uploaded photo at this time, however please be advised that your current photo appears to meet all requirements listed online for the admission ticket. Please be advised that admittance to the exam will be determined by the test center supervisor on test day, who will confirm that your photo meets all requirements, and matches your appearance on the day of the test.

To reiterate what others are saying, I think we will be okay!

@ @ will do!

@ The guidelines state

The photo must completely fill the 2”x2” (195px x 195px) photo display box It also shows a photo with white around the edges as an example of an unacceptable photo. I may be wrong, but I am taking this to mean that there can't be any white in the box :/

@ thanks for your response. Do you know whether my getting denied entry would count as one of my takes?
