I absolutely struggle with nerves as well and I have a suggestion:

Think about turning your anxiety into intensity. I like to think of anxiety as energy that I am just wasting which is such an insult to all the time and effort I have put into the LSAT: I have something to do, I know I can do it, why am I burning up brain power on thinking that I can't/won't/AHHH? Take all of that nervous energy and harness it. This requires (at least for me) literally pausing, closing my eyes, and taking a really, really deep breath while imagining a straight path in front of me. When I feel a little out of control I'll just firmly tell myself to center my thoughts and re-focus. My heart rate lowers, I'll stop jigging my leg around, and my inner thoughts are clear and singular. It has taken some training but I'm definitely getting to a much more sane place with the test and my scores have shown that.

I guess I could touch on strategy and timing but if nervousness or anxiety stopped you from performing your best I think training your thoughts should be high on your list. I've seen a lot of improvement since I actively decided to center on the test rather than whatever voice was freaking out in my head.

I did not choose C because I was wary of the "wrong" language being used. The stimulus only speaks to "should" or "shouldn't". Perhaps I am being overly picky but this same technique is what saves me from making unwarranted assumptions and yet it seems to be backfiring here. I chose E because it sticks with the "should" language rather than it being judged as right or wrong. I understand that the harm in question wasn't significant and also that we're referring more to the intent of harm so for those reasons E is wrong. I guess I am wondering when and where a shift is vocabulary is harmless.

Hey there, I am looking for a study partner as well and live in the Mission! I am mirroring you in terms of current scoring, goal score, but also in strength/weaknesses.

I'd be most interested to meet up and see if we could help each other. What are your weaknesses in LR/RC? Is there a certain type of question that you're most struggling with? Although you're looking for someone that is stronger in LR/RC we may have different strengths in the section and could end up helping each other out a lot. Let me know!

I seem to be fluctuating a lot as well. I'm still working on it so I would love to hear what other people suggest too.

My current approach is to dwell on Blind Review and isolate the type of questions I am getting wrong. For example, I seem to be getting a lot of strengthening questions wrong so I've gone back to the lessons from JY and gone over all the basics. Then, I'll take a few prep tests untimed and even if I am 1% unsure of a question, I will review it meticulously in Blind Review. This has taken hours. I seem to be doing a lot better untimed and then I try and ask myself why this is: am I skimming over keywords? Am I not breaking down the premises and conclusion correctly?

So, stop timing yourself for a little bit and try to isolate the type of question you're getting wrong. Understand your difficulties with the question and go from there.

I should've been clearer, this is where I'm encountering a problem:

When I click on "Review PrepTests" on the home screen and filter by preptest, where there was once a link to see a video explanation there is now no link. This is not the problem of the video itself faltering but rather no link for the video where there once was one.

Thanks!

I am facing this issue as well.

Oh no, I don't want this to get buried! JY, I would love your feedback!
