Hi @, I do something similar to @ .. Luckily, I do not have to be at my office until 10am, so I wake up around 7am, read the paper for 30 minutes or so (something to get my brain going lol), and then begin a two-hour study from 730-930, leaving me around 30 minutes to get ready and drive to work. After work, I regroup and relax over dinner, then begin another 2/3 hour study from 8-11pm. Of course on the weekends I pack as much study in as I can, but during the weekday this has been my routine. You'll be surprised how you can utilize an hour or two here and there. It adds up!

I bubble before every page turn. I think the only drawback is if you skip a question. You have to be very careful to remember to skip the bubble on your answer sheet. I've mis-bubbled due to that a few times :neutral:..

How do you guys deal with this issue?

I don't think this question should be included in the "strengthening problem set 3."

Can anyone who is familiar with the February tests confirm that every single non-experimental question on the February test have been previously tested on other test takers (through experimental sections on their tests or outside-of-us administered tests, etc)? I heard that February tests have unusual questions so I was wondering. Maybe people mistakenly feel like the content is unusual only because they don't get to see which questions they got wrong??

I don't think questions on the February test have been previously tested. It seems like LSAC tests new questions on the February tests. For example, the infamous virus game in PT79 (September 2016) first appeared in the February 2013 test (https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid/267391/The-February-2013-LSAT-Post-test-Analysis).

It was an in the experimental section in February 2013, not in the real LG section.

Yeah but like @ said, it later appeared as a real game in Sep. 2016. So, there could be some funky games from older experimental LG sections from earlier administrations.. right? I'm already nervous lol

@ Nailed it. I have found this is the best strategy as well. All you have to remember is just to bubble before every page turn and you'll be set. After the page turn, put your pencil down, close your eyes, and take a long deep breath before moving forward. It's a great way to reset, calm the nerves, and clear your head.

Grey... ahhhhh!! Anyone know when we'll get scores after going grey ??

Take the year off! I was in the same predicament last Fall and decided to take the year off. It has worked out for the best and honestly, it sounds like a cliche, but it true does fly by. Besides, its hardly a "year" off; you'll be preparing again for the LSAT and writing essays, etc, so although a calendar year will elapse, you will be working to achieve your goal. You won't just be sitting around wasting time. Stay positive!

This totally happens to me as well. As soon as I get started its like my mind goes blank.. and in BR I realize how many dumb mistakes I made.

It's gotten better with each PT that I take. I think its just a matter of getting comfortable with the pressure. Meditation has really helped me. You should try it. There are a few guided sessions on 7Sage too!

I certainly agree that you should treat all sections equally, however, having now taken two actual administrations, I think the well-studied test taker can sense which section seems to be a tad "off".

Mind. Blown.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing!

LOL spot on!

For everyone struggling with LR right now, you can do it ! I took a step back and stopped thinking about learning each question type individually and looked more at what I was reading for each and every time.In one month, it’s made all the difference. This exam is all about the subtleties and it’s like a whole new world when that finally starts clicking.

@ Congratulations you deserve it!! :) I have a question for you though... I've been thinking that learning each question type was the key to mastering the LR section... but after seeing my December score as well as your story, I'm beginning to think that it may not be working for me. Could you elaborate a little more on how you switched tactics and what you are now looking for in each question? My LR section is so shaky... on good days I can get about -3 in two LR sections, but on other days can be about -7... I'd appreciate some words of advice! Thank you :)

YES; please do tell!!!! lol

Not sure why the poll is messing up... I set it up to have 3 choices.. 1) roll with the score and apply early 2) keep score and retake in Feb 3) cancel score and retake in February.. just fyi

Thanks everyone for the comments @ @ ! @ Will you all be applying for Fall 2018?

@ You make excellent points. I've been spending some time really examining my prep-test habits (in particular the bad ones) and plan on continuing my prep. If I am reliably scoring where I want to be within a month, perhaps I'll retake in February.. if not.. I'll prep super hard for a June 2018 score to be in the first applicant pool for Fall 2019.

7SagerRagers!!

I have and used the Perfect Score V4 watch during last Saturday's LSAT without problems. I would file a complaint!

Even having taken a handful of of your tests already, that’s still way way too many PTs. Don’t mistake burning through PTs for studying. As others have said, PTs are great at telling you what you need to study, but they are generally a very ineffective tool for actually addressing those issues.

Hi, @ would you recommend timed sections instead?

My issue with (E) is with the usage of the word "can" instead of "will." However, I realize that the question stem indicates "which answer choice of the following most weakens..." My thought was as follows: okay, therapists CAN (have the ability to persuade) but WILL they actually do it and prevent future crime? Ohhh LSAT...

Just what I was looking for! Thanks @

@ How did you deal with test-day nerves?
