@drbrown2259 @drbrown2259 @gabeshelton3715 @ravilashirovra590 @eugenewrotethis726 Thank you all for nice tips! I took the June test, but I am contemplating a retake in September, so these tips might come in handy later.
@nestbt01231 I tried to mimic actual testing conditions when PTing. I was surprised that things turned out be so different during actual test.
@justingendler1536 Thanks. I hope LSAC did not make the LR questions look easy (but in fact they are tricky and difficult).
I cannot help to keep thinking about LRs in this test. I had RC LR LG LR LG. With LR2 (the one with a one-way route/bike lane/bus Q), I had about 4-5 minutes to spare which never happened to me during PTs. When the closest to this happened to me was with PT73 LR1(I felt great about it, moved swiftly, and had ~3 min to spare), but turns out that I missed -9 in that section alone! I am really hoping that Monday's LRs are not difficult ones. Can anyone with a good grasp of LRs confirm or deny it?
BTW, my PT86 LRs were -6/-4. Thanks.

@danielhillshafer574
for the experimental LG section, was there something about putting things into months? like for November, December, ... ? was that from the (using power score labels) 'Art on walls of a room' game or 'Authors of a scientific paper (grads, undergrads, scientists, etc)' game?
anyone else have RC LR LG LR LG
I think the 3rd section was the experimental LG? Can someone confirm or deny this?
Confirmed.
I had the same test as you.
How’d you do on the last game?
Yes, Mine was also RC LR LG LR LG. The third one was experimental.
@eugenewrotethis726 @eugenewrotethis726 I had very weird feeling about LRs. I finished 2nd LR with ~4-5min to spare which never happened to me during PTs. The LRs in this test were so different from PT80s. I also had a streak of certain letter answers that I kept thinking during the test that this shouldn't be right...Was it super-tricky?
@7020 you are right. The one with wall deco is experimental.
@53333-eyed-raven griot/jazz one is real. I had only one RC and there was no IP/computer
@leileiruiz232 that one is experimental
Do you consider LR difficult? Was it similar to PT73,PT86, or PTs in 60s?
@leileiruiz232 with 2LRs, also had school bus/one-way road.
@leileiruiz232 I had two LRs; I remember Vitamin C, spiderweb/bird, killer whales, and cheetah.
Hi,
How do you decide whether or not to diagram a particular LR question?
I often over-diagraming. There were several questions in recent PTs where I thought I must diagram, I did, only to realize later that it was a wast of time. The flaws were in quantity terminology (many, some, all etc.) or specific words rather than chain of reasoning.
Any tips?
Thanks.
@buytrafficexpress251 this is good tip, thanks!
@eugenewrotethis726 @buytrafficexpress251 @839204 Have you already taken the most recent (PT85 PT86)?
@839204 @53333 @buytrafficexpress251 It looks like the consensus is to take the last week lightly. Thank you all for your insight!
@yafrcho580 @yafrcho580 @cwalkenf276 Thank you all for tips and reminders.
Hi fellow June test takers, I would love to hear your insight on three things related to the last PT you will take before the test.
The reason I am asking is because 1) I only have time for 1 more PT before the test; 2) my latest PT was PT81, and I am not sure if I should take PT82 or PT86; 3) I am OK with LG, but having difficulty with LR and RC. I read from a reddit post that LR in PT85 and PT86 are wordier. If this is true, I should really familiarize myself with the newer test.
Thanks in advance!
@leahbeuk911 Thanks for sharing your method. I did not mark ACs during LR, oops! I was trying to save the same copy for BR, and I found that circling marks were difficult to erase. I am taking June test, so need to make sure ZERO bubbling error. I will check out your method tom. Thanks again.
Hi,
What do you do to avoid bubbling error? In recent PTs I have done, I made 1 bubbling error per PT!!!
This problem is with RC and LR.
For LG, I circle each answer and bubble after each game. I often have time to go over my bubbling at the end of the section.
With RC and LR, I bubble after each question but I do not circle answers.
Thanks.
@8835 Hi, how is this book different from Trainer’s RC section? Thanks!
@53333 Are PTs in the 80s different from those in 70s? If so, how different? Thanks.
@drbrown2259 Going into your first LSAT test, it sounds like your anxious. Don't be. If you have a bad test on test day, it's just one test and it will not diminish your prospects. You own this test, it doesn't own you.
@amhawks84508 You are totally right. I am anxious and am also kinda burn-out. Thanks for your kind words.
@drbrown2259 I did not buy any 7sage course, so I cannot view the webinar. Too bad.... Is there any other places I can get some instruction on skipping? Thanks.
@304694 Thank you!
@drbrown2259 Thanks a lot.
I haven't seen the skipping webinar. Where is it?
Also, you are soooooo right. "you cannot do real BR if you check your PT score first." I have to admit that I haven't take BR as seriously as I supposed to. I was so into the Score itself rather than taking the whole PT/BR thing as a way of learning and improving.
@huaj96241-eyed-raven shouldn't the score be 163? I got exactly the same number of questions wrong as you did in each section (got -8 on RC, -4 on LR part 1, -5 on LR part 2, and -4 on LG). My diagnostic score was 164, so I am a bit disappointed.
