@lukegmjohnson864 thanks again. Using these strategies will be helpful for me. I usually try to brute my way through LR in chronological order, and then I get slammed on the last few questions because I am rushing. I appreciate the continued help... and I will also definitely attempt to fool proof what I can before June to increase my LG section score.
Thanks for the responses guys...I was truly feeling a bit defeated given my stagnant scores over the past 3 weeks. I really appreciate the positive vibes and encouragement.
@btate87833 I have not Fool Proofed LG which makes me think I can salvage a few points on LG by doing this. Any specific FP strategies given my current (limited-time) situation? - I've been tentative to FP b/c I dont think I would be able to do EVERY LG game? Maybe just drill 3-4 game types on a per week basis?
@jhaldy10325 Get Right I am thinking I can definitely analyze some q types to focus on solidifying fundamentals - but my issues also seem to be doing them consistently when timed. Given the limited time-frame and my work schedule, I think I have to maximize my output which means focusing on LG and time management are my best bet... I am definitely a realist so breaking into 170 would be an ideal goal, but would honestly be really happy if I were able to get high 160s consistently.
@lukegmjohnson864 any time/management suggestions are greatly appreciated - right now I dont employ many skipping strategies when I am doing LR sections but I think this would actually help me a lot and @paulmvbenthem537.benthem I am glad to hear that focusing on one section doesnt necessarily mean that I am neglecting others... might just be burnt out on LR because this was my primary focus for the first weeks of study
Hello,
Has anyone experienced a plateauing effect when PTing in the high 150s? I need some study advice and how best to move forward since I am working a 9 - 5 and need to allocate my time wisely until the June LSAT. Currently here is my situation:
Basically, I am wondering how to move forward given my sporadic scores. I am wondering if I should devote the majority of my time to improving the LG section (its currently my weakest at -8 consistently)? But, I fear that devoting all of my studying to LG will cause my LR and RC sections to decline as a direct result as well and me netting the same scores.
I am just asking what has worked for others in the past and is it realistic to score into the 170s by June devoting 10-15 hrs a week?
@swamlepow1994844 yes, my BR is fairly rigorous. I know, for instance, that I am weakest on Flaw, NA and PSA questions. Right now I am going through the LSAT Trainer to learn to better recognize the Stimulus for these specific question types (and since I haven't been skipping questions) & to skip them on PT days... going back to them when I have time at the end of the section.
@btate87833 Awesome, really helpful response. I think I will start FPs on full sections, mostly in mid-range PT's and reviewing until perfected. I've already been saving and categorizing each game - so I can go back to ones that have given me trouble... like you did in the past. Really looking to improve from a -9 or -10 in this section to a consistent -2 or -3 which would increase my score significantly.
