Hello. I got my second 164 this June exam and it was my third time taking the LSAT. I am on the same boat with you. I am debating if I want to take it the fourth time and I am also facing self-doubts from time to time if I am smart enough.

My thought about this whole issue is that I am pretty determined that I want to become a practicing attorney. I hope to represent real people struggling in the system. I know that I would enjoy the law school and practicing law so much more than this test. My career in law is not determined by these LSAT failures. Not to mention that there could be worse things happening to my legal career and I will survive.

Maybe you could also remind yourself what brings you to law in the first place? Speaking of my own experience, if all I want to do is to help people solve legal issues and become a damn-good advocate, I think a lower T20 school with good job prospects could be a nice starting point!! Prepare the essays well and sell the whole package. There are good chances. If not law, but money, is more of an issue, there are career paths that earn much more money with so much less investments than law. I feel like earning money, delaying law school, and saving money for the law school could also be a plan. Please feel free to talk to me:)))) Good luck with everything.

How to improve based on LR wrong answer patterns?

Hi, friends!! Hope you are doing well. I have a question regarding LR study methods. I have done about 50+ PT, got the question type basics, and found some general trends when I am doing the questions. e.g. I found that I repeatedly fall prey to strengthen/weaken/flaw questions and the parallel questions in my recent PTs. I understand theories like correlation =/ causation flaws, but face problems discerning between answer choices on a case-to-case basis.

Since I do not have a lot of new PTs left, I wonder how should I make good use of the LR wrong answers during the review. Should I redo some, if not, most of them? How should I make a summary of the specifics of each question? Or should I spend more time blind reviewing the new PTs? I feel like I haven't done a great job at BR so far.

Background information: I plan to take the June LSAT. I am currently at ~-6/LR section and hope to improve to -2/-3. I welcome you to comment on efficient LR study methods. Thank you!!
