It was much harder since it lacked responsiveness.

Well, what makes you think that you are doing your blind review incorrectly? Blind review is a very important step to improving on the LSAT, some people would even say that it is a necessary condition. During your BR, you should be going over the questions that you were unsure about. Separate the premises and conclusion, focus on parsing the answer choices, and make sure that you are 100% sure of your answer before you check and grade it.

Also, what is your section breakdown? Is there anything you notice that is really getting in your way of hitting those scores?

I guess it's more that maybe I'm not getting to as much in-depth I think I am. I'm doing better in LRs and LGs. It's RC that's kicking my behind.

@ said:

what is your BR score?

Tends to be around 159 to low 160s.

@ said:

How many wrong qs are you averaging per section?

Around 6 to 8 on average.

What I've learned is there is no reason to miss more than one question on the games section. In order to do this, you need to redo every game that you didn't score a 100% on. Every single game. This is the only way. When JY says 10 clean copies, he means 10 clean copies! I used to score 18 or 19 on the games, but after I started redoing the same games over and over again, I rarely miss more than one question, and I often get 23 out of 23. This should help you break 160!

I suppose that's where I'm going wrong. Though admittedly I am feeling more confident on LG as of late.

Going digital is a mistake. At best only the writing portion should be digital.

I don't think that's necessary. I attended an application walkthrough with an admissions officer, and they said the reason they ask what other schools you are applying to is for essentially polling purposes. They want to know if there are particular schools that many people are applying to in addition to theirs etc. I don't think it has any impact on your application and as far as I know they have no way of knowing what schools you're applying to if you don't fill out that section.

Thanks!

I bombed again. Only one point increase. I think I'm going to quit. Law is not meant for me.

I once had a GPA of around 3.7 in CC and 3.4 in university. I had a few failing grades in CC because I was pursuing a different major at the time. Now this is going to haunt me. What a great day to wake up to.

Highlighting was harder for me.

165 or higher.

Taking it tomorrow. I'm nervous, but I've done what I can do. Wish I knew about lawhub earlier.

Take it when you are ready, not when you feel like your scores are within a range. Take a test so you know where you stand with the test. Also, maybe get a tutor. I studied for a solid year without a tutor, hit a plateau, and I'm finally improving again and seeing my mistakes. Sometimes tutors have a way of helping you see something on the page you might consistently miss. Have a few tests within a couple points of your target score, whatever that may be. October is okay to apply with I personally believe, but that means October is your final test before submitting applications early unless you delay and test again. I've delayed two cycles myself. It happens and life goes on too.

That's true. I don't suppose I could try taking both June and October instead? Though I'm not sure if that would work out.

@ said:

Good point. It should depend on where you are actually scoring and how much time and mental strength you have at the end of every work day to study efficiently. You mentioned feeling you're at a certain score but definitely take more PTs to find out. Either way, I would always recommend rescheduling if you know in your gut you can do better with more time to study.

Which is why October might be best? Applications are best sent in around November, right?

@ said:

are you unable to take the august one? that will give you more time to study as well as adequate time to worry about applications, since you're confident you can reach higher scores with more time.

I suppose I could. But I'm not sure if the two month difference would matter in time.
