Having trouble with problem sets. when I load the set, it automatically scrolled down and can't see the timer. when I scroll up, the screen is frozen and I can't select anything on the tester. Also, once had trouble with 5 min warning. The screen froze but this was fixed when I rebooted my ipad. I have screenshots but don't know where to send them. ipad pro 2nd gen 10.5"
I heard so many horror stories with underlining and highlighting.
Is the real thing different from 7sage in terms of latency and accuracy?
Also, I use iPad Pro 2nd + Apple Pencil 1. Has anybody been practicing with that combination noticed difference on the real thing?

Help me with my last 6 weeks study plan! (hopefully)
I’ll be taking Nov. 25th test, and I just restarted on taking PTs last week.
So far done 67, 69 and 73. And got 160, 169, 169 respectively.
These are the score breakdown:
PT 67 (actual -25 / BR -14)
LR (-7/-7)
LR (-7/-4)
LG (-2/-0)
RC (-9/-3)
PT 69 (actual -13 / BR -11)
LR (-5/-4)
LR (-3/-4)
LG (-0/-0)
RC (-5/-3)
PT 73 (actual -13 / BR -13)
LR (-3/-3)
LR (-4/-5)
LG (-0/-0)
RC (-6/-5)
I’ve been spending a lot of time on blind review. It used to take about 8 hours, and now it takes more like 20 hours. Thought they were supposed to go down. Anyways, I’m fine with that, but I just don’t know what I can do to eliminate overconfidence errors. Out of 10 circled question, I usually circle one or two that I actually get wrong. So there’s also under-confidence error, but I’m trying to fix oc first…
I’ve been thinking about reusing used PTs for drills.
Maybe do 1 fresh PT on Monday through Wednesday, and do 3 used PTs for Th, Fri, Sat? I won’t be doing BR as extensively for used PTs, and only do BR and missed question review. (think this would count as section drills?)
Or would it be better to just do 2 fresh PTs every week?
Is it my lack of understanding in foundations? I want to return to CC, but I don’t even know what I don’t know.
My BR score dropped thanks to overconfidence errors...urgh
And how should I BR RC? I'm reading the section untimed, do low-res/structure and watch videos and explanations right now.
Should I BR questions without re-reading the passages?

I'm still having hard time understanding the second sentence. How can I infer that more cookbooks were sold last year than any previous years from "In particular, there were more cookbooks sold."? Does "in particular" mean "especially true?" I guess that way the second sentence would mean more cookbooks sold than any previous year.
Dang... almost all of my the mistakes are because of prejudice. Why do I have so many of them!!!

Can (D) be wrong because P contributing to death rate is different from P contributing to extraordinarily high death rate? What if P contribution is not significant?
#help
Can I say the that "more likely" in (D) nullifies the problem of making an extra assumption of older cars purchased by low income people are 5+ yrs old?
thought it was principle/attack question... dang. Somehow q type identification became a problem :(
#help
Can I say "special obligation" is value judgement?
Same mistake 3 yrs later... thought "who cares if the company fails? It's about this product." But it matters... I should stop making stupid self-justificatory assumption...
@truebluefan6196629 hmmmm... leaning towards skipping the rest of the book:) You're right about jumping all over the place... would be better to reinforce what I already know.
@cilgyabraham920 I do find the drills and CLIR method helpful. I guess I'll restart PTs since I don't have much time left.
For those of you with the loophole book and CC, did you find Chapter 9 and on to be helpful?
I found the book helpful so far, but would opt to skip if there's not much new stuff.
haha I thought this was the current one
I found it helpful to do a few games.
What helped me even more was to move my biological clock so I’d be awake from the beginning of the test. I used to wake up at 7am, but my brain won’t function in its full capacity until 11am.
So leading up to the test I adjusted to 5am. I eat lunch at 9am now🍳

Thank you for the comments.
I might as well just write down everything as it’s obvious I have no idea what I’m doing…
My BR score ranges from 168 to 175, Averaging at 171.2.
For RC and LG, I redo them untimed and watch videos,
For LR I circle questions and do them again, write out reasoning, and score.
I try not to look at the answers, give myself another day, and return to the missed questions and then watch the videos for those.
It takes about 7-8 hrs to do BR.
The reason I wanted to go back to CC was because it takes me too long on each questions. I shot the video of myself doing the PT, and noticed it takes me 1:30+ to do easier questions, and 3:00+ for harder ones. I feel like if I had fully understood the concepts, it wouldn’t take me 2 min to do a question.
I was thinking about doing one used PT as something like a timed drill, but since I study full time, I might as well practice taking the whole test at the same time.
Analytics say PF, Parallel, flaw, strengthen are my priorities. I started skipping parallel questions because I noticed I’ve been spending 3~4 min on those, and didn’t get to the last few questions that were easier. When I don't skip, I usually get to Q21~22. It was only recently I implemented skipping at all, albeit by question type. I didn't have time at the end to return to flagged questions, so I thought there was really no point in skipping questions.

Here’s the link to my study plan.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10S9D9Rv8G8MxMrG2Uosk18HXjdvkvMvbh62imqv2C84
I’ve done LSAT Trainer and CC.
I also have
Fox LSAT encyclopedia
Manhattan prep LR
3 bibles(I got them for free from a friend... but never really opened them)
2 copies of PTs from 36~87
2 copies of all the 4 and 5 star games
7sage ultimate+
I know I’m asking for a lot, but any short advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much!!
I took international test and got my first official score today.
I have 13 weeks to study, and want to ask what would be the best course of action.
It was non-disclosed, so I don't really know how I did on each section. but I've been PTing at 164 for like 10 tests in a row.
For RC, I skipped the last passage totally and didn't even read the passage, skipping 5Q.
For LR, I skipped parallel questions and logic heavy questions(I think 5~6Q total from both LR sections) initially and came back afterwards to check if D is indeed the right answer.
I've done 22 PTs from PT 50+ so far, and have 17 fresh ones from PT 50+.
I've came up with three plans, but can't decide which one would be better.
Plan 1)
wk 1~3: CC + Manhattan prep LR book, 4 games, 2 passages every day
wk 4~13: 2 PTs / wk (1 used PT, 1 fresh PT)
Plan 2)
wk 1~13: 2 PTs / wk (1 used PT, 1 fresh PT)
Plan 3)
wk 1~3: 1LR timed section, 4 games, 2 passages every day.
I can't decide on what to do next. I've been getting the same score for last two months of PTs, so there might be something wrong with my current studying method... is 3 months enough to get 170+?
Please don't feed the troll. It's waste of electricity.
I'd say prepare to study for longer(like... be okay with it) if necessary. I started studying for LSAT last year May, to take the real thing in October. However, I was not even close to my goal, and was extremely discouraged when I realized there's no way I was applying for 2019 cycle. I almost quit studying and it took me some time to recover. Looking back, I think it would've been really beneficial if I had a more realistic/long term plan.
If you already have taken a diagnostic test before, you really don’t need to take it again. You already know where you’re at. Just do the CC and use ptj07 as timed PT.
@kangjisoocom36 ahhhh... year... passages themselves take about same time, but noticed I’m spending a lot more time on questions now 😱
I’ve been taking caffeine pill instead of drinking coffee, which helped me tremendously with my bladder,
But now I fall asleep right after taking the pill. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this?
I feel very alert after the 30 min nap, but now I’m confused if it’s the pill that’s working or just nap...
My average BR score up until 68 was 175+, and as soon as I hit 70, it dropped to 170, and today I got 168 for BR.
I’m getting a lot more RC questions wrong.
I used to get -1~-3 for RC during BR, but I got -7 today. Actual score dropped as well.
Is there a significant difference between 60s and lower RC passages and 70+ passages? I usually get -0 on my untimed drill, so I don’t thinks drilling older passages would be helpful in this case. Two weeks til the real test and I’m screwed.
Eliminated (C) because it say “many,” thinking Many means there are some farmers that use other techniques, but may be not necessarily in those modern civilizations that rely on heavy irrigation.
Made an unwarranted assumption that these farmers are not part of those relying on heavy irrigation.
missed it! would love to ask for the notes as well, but no pressure
