Jonathan , that would be great, if you could make it similar to like J.Y. has done in the course for some of the LR explanations he provides, that would be great.

Hey so as the title says, I'm looking for a study partner.

I ask for the higher score because I think it'd be nice to study with someone that has a better understanding than you. This doesn't necessarily mean I am looking for a free tutor or something though - I've actually got a tutor from TLS I'll be working with soon (and have worked with in the past). I've been studying for a while now, my last PT was 156 and this was months ago, during my school semester. I studied a lot during my last summer and into my school semester a bit (wanted to take in december) but didn't quite get the score I wanted on PT's so didn't bother writing in addition to getting caught up with school work that took precedent over LSAT studying so I did what I could to maintain.

I am again however, hoping to write in december. I think this time will be a lot better for me since I don't have to spend a most of my time figuring out what the hell I was doing in the first place, and can spend these months drilling - which is where the partner comes in. I think it'd be good for things such as LR (over skype) or discussing general strategies for the test.

If anyone scoring well would be interested, just reply below.

When you are working through it untimed, an issue you may be having is you are taking an inefficient route to the correct answer, even though you may get there quite often in blind review judging from the 167. So, when you blind review, and get it correct, try and remember how you convinced yourself it was the right answer in the first place. Then, ask yourself, how did I just reason my way through to the right answer - and more importantly how can I make this whole process faster? If you're taking 5 unnecessary steps in solving the question, but still hitting the right steps, you may as well be doing them in correct since this test is so strictly timed. Be aware when you do unnecessary steps in your analysis process and work to fix them. My last pt was 156 so we are quite similar (and I blind review at about 165) and this is the suggestions I've got from my tutor and I do believe it works. Let me know how things go

I'm guessing the advice you'll get if you want to apply for this cycle is focus on games. They seem to be the easiest points to pick up (not for me). great RC scores btw, please let me know how you did that. If you think of it as you're losing like 10~11 pts on LR , you could try to tighten up there as well

JY I agree, I love the trainer. I wish I had gone with the trainer exclusively for all the sections of the LSAT, to be honest. J.Y. now that you're here though, lets hear your opinion on the thread?!

Hey Erict. Apply BR to all sections. Just take as much time as you think it takes you to get the right answer - just like in LR

what books do you have for reading comp? I think the trainer is probably the best RC book.

also google, "voyagers reading comp tips" should take you to a thread on TLS which many people said helped their reading comp scores.

i think it may be endurance . I had this exact problem but I've equaled it out a bit. don't just chalk it up to endurance though, review wrong answers thoroughly.

my BR scores have been usually between 160-165, but they have stayed in that range very consistently. I was hoping to see an upward trend in the BR scores but it hasnt occured lately - does this mean I'm not improving on the test? let me know what you guys think

LR sections have been pretty consistent on PT's. RC ranges from 15-18, games is a diff story though. ranges from like 8-17

Hey Danielle, I had, and kinda have the same problem now.

My suggestion would be , perhaps when doing some timed sections, you should make the time constraints a litter looser on yourself? Make a section 45 minutes for LR instead of 35. see how you do.

See when you are drilling / blind reviewing if you are making unnecessary steps in your reasoning process that is making you waste time and in turn making your LR scores way worse when timed. for example, have you ever taken forever to get a question, then it finally clicked for you? when that happens, think of all the stuff you were thinking was important was before that actaully wasn't , try to find out why you were thinking that, and try to eliminate that from your reasoning

Another thing that helped me was just honestly stopping every once in a while during an lr section, closing my eyes, and taking 2-3 deep breaths to re-focus.

good luck!

Basically, I'll do crappy on LG on PT's . like we are talking getting 10-12 correct. I'll blind review and usually get perfect or, -2 . Not sure what answer I'm looking for or if I am going get pointed toward 10 blank sheets of LG's ! anyone else have a similar problem with games?

Katherine ,

I mean I am making a lot of errors - I cannot pin point whether or not it is the order of the sections, that doesn't seem to make a difference because my last section was my best (reading comp) and one of the LR's was my worst and it was the very first section. Not sure whats goin on here! Its been inconsistent like that for most of my PT's

0

I'll have PT's where I'll bomb a games section, and do pretty good on all the others.

I'll have a PT where I bomb reading comp, and the other sections go not bad

I'll have a pt where I bomb an LR sect and do MEH on games, but have a good RC and other LR sect

Almost all of my PT's lately have been like this, I cannot put a full PT together. I'll do good on some sections, bad on others, and it just varies from section to section per PT to PT. anyone else having this issue?

I've got the LSAT trainer Nilesh S, which I think does a good job of improving RC. I'll need to give it another read though, admittedly I probably missed some important things for the RC section. I appreciate the response and I'll begin taking some sections out of the earlier PT's and doing them1
