Self-study
hoping anyone can share tips to be fully locked in on the day of the lsat with no nerves, background thoughts, etc. just being in the present with the test and a positive mindset

help, i dont get why b is wrong because in the passage it states "Dworkin regards this as an impermissible form of judicial activism that arrogates to judges powers properly reserved for legislators"

@02kimask Thank you for the kind words. I already reviewed the test, but let's see if what I learned stuck. I'll try the rubber duck method in a few days :)

@CoreyDenton42 162 on 151. Did worse on reading by a couple points and same with LR, which I’m usually not bad at. The lr felt different? Trickier? Maybe it’s just me
Hi! So I've finally been on an upward trend. From earliest to most recent, my last 4 practice tests were a 168, 169, 168... and a 162, from today. I don't know if it's because PT 151 is notoriously difficult, but I don't want to make excuses since it is graded fairly and there is a big possibility that could be what my June LSAT experience is like. I don't know what happened; I thought I did a little worse but that shocked me. I genuinely took off like 1.5 days from studying because of burnout, but I didn't feel tired when I took the test! I'm nervous for my June LSAT now, as my goal score was a 168. I thought I had been prepping correctly, but I'm wondering if these more recent tests are going to reflect the actual test I take, although I did get a 169 on PT 150...
I don't even know what to work on anymore or how to improve. And worse, when I went to review the questions I got wrong, they didn't click like they usually do. There's no way what I'm being asked to do is different than any other time, yet it really felt like I was starting fresh today :(

@nehirrs25 yes but i'm worried that because this is a more recent pt section, the actual lsats we take will look more like this...

Hi! I am interested. I've been working very hard; it's been 10 months for me too, and I'm taking the June LSAT. My diagnostic was also a 151 and my highest practice test was a 169. Working on pushing over to the 170s.

@BenjaminSegal yes, as in when i get it right during blind review. sometimes no though, because i'll get it wrong during br and then understand

@Marcus91 i'm doing my best to do that. i just took a section where my main goal was to do that and got -4, but there were still questions where after i learned what the answer was i was like how could i have possibly gotten this wrong? it wont happen next time
i've been working on my weakest section, rc. every time i do a passage and get something like a -7, i am frustrated. it's because i'll go through my incorrect answers and either realize my mistake was dumb or i'll figure out why i was wrong and why the correct answer was right. then i'll pledge to not make that mistake again. i'll go into the next section with confidence and get a similar score. but then, i'll feel like oi really learned from my mistakes again! how do i just answer more questions correctly the first time around?

@ksh9665264 so in an inference question, a lack of information is our answer. if it was d they would at least suggest it.

Hello! I am interested. I’ve finally been in the 168/169 range and I’m ready to hit 170+ in June. Thank you for doing this.
how does the lsac gpa work? do they have their own scale? for example, my college doesnt award A+s. also, does dual enrollment from high school also count in the lsac gpa?
when law schools report their average accepted applicant's gpas, it's the lsac one, right, not the undergraduate?

@Jsonf i see this part but i am confused because it says "even when they laugh a little than other patients are helped when they laugh a greater amount." So why do we need A to tell us that patients who tend to laugh more actually did when the conc says it doesnt matter if they do?

@julielamberth That's a good mindset to remember. Maybe something like this? pt146.s4.p3.q16. it makes sense now, but i just feel like you have to know which parts of the passage to connect, which makes it much harder, especially on a first pass/ if the topic is complicated.
Just went through my wrong answers and those are the worst for me. It’s just so hard to answer bc it’s less objective!
March 16 to May 1. My LC has improved and is stable, but RC is driving me crazy! sometimes it makes sense. other times it doesnt. and there are moments where i think it makes sense but i do bad... im feeling good about lr for the june lsat but not rc. and there are clearly no trends of my weaknesses for me to analyze. maybe my critique debate needs work but it isnt significantly an issue compared to anything else...it's just so random. i cant even identify what i need to fix!

@julielamberth i see! so instead of trying to meticulously understand everything...just make the low res summary and then i can go back to find my answers
@JacobBaska Makes sense, thank you! Then I suppose that if an undergraduate institution does not accept dual enrollment credit to count for your bachelor's degree, then it won't count towards your LSAC GPA?
