improving consistency...

Does anyone have any good advice on improving consistency within each section. I've been taking about 4 prep tests a week for a while now, and my score fluctuates anywhere from -2 to -8 in LR, and -3 to -9 in RC. Its super frustrating because Im generally doing well on 3 of the sections, and then all of the sudden, I get a -8 or -9 and it kills my score. I'm having trouble figuring out why this is happening, and simply going over the answers I got wrong, while helpful, isnt fully doing the trick..

anyone else have this problem with some good tips??

lsat and the economist

So, like many people on this forum studying for the october lsat, I have pretty much been living and breathing the test for the last couple weeks (months?)...

anyways, I thought some people would get a kick out of this...

I took Prep test 61 yesterday...took it, reviewed, blah blah blah...

Then I went home and started reading the economist. I got to the SECOND article of this weeks issue (the weakened west) and I started to think, man this all sounds kinda weird and familiar. And why you ask? The second passage of RC on PT 61 happens to be all Han van Meegeren forging Vermeer artwork-- then making a ton of money, only to later go on and make a bunch of critics look foolish when he gives himself up. Turn to page 12 of the economist, and what do you find, "Fakes say some interesting things about the economics of art," an article all about van Meegeren, and a new forger in New York who tricked some galleries into buying 63 forged works and making out with $30 million dollars!

Seriously, you could probably answer some of the questions from the passage correctly from reading the economist article, and NOT the actual lsat passage!!

Crazy, I thought some of yall would like that; as I just had one of those, 'man, am I a nerd or what?' moments.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
