Where is your biggest weakness? If you're mainly missing LG, that's a pretty good sign, easiest to improve on. LR can improve but requires work. RC takes a LOT of work. However if your goal is 153, you can totally bomb RC and just focus in on LG/LR

The general wisdom is +/- 3 points your PT average. This is about the range you can expect on the real test. Some people just work much better under pressure when the "lights" are on and find it easier to focus and do better on the real thing. However it is also probably more common that people get nervous and probably drop a bit from their PTs. In general 3 points give or take is standard.

The best way to limit that is don't change ANYTHING you do on the real test. For example if you are the type of person that generally has a couple questions left after time runs out in a section, don't change what you do on the real test. If you skip hard questions and come back if you have time... keep doing that. Don't go any faster or slower because it's the "real" test. This is the biggest trap people fall into on test day, changing what their general strategy is.

Also Also. give up the illusion that you can predict how well you did on a section. yes, if you are not able to diagram an entire LG or if you completely misunderstood one RC passage, you probably didn't do so hot on that section. But don't assume you totally "bombed" a section. It is virtually impossible (unless you totally bombed it) to guess how you did. This is important because on the real test... you wont get instant feedback. You won't know how you did. And if you go into the next section thinking you didn't do well, that has a big emotional toll. It might be too late for november, but don't look at your score until the very end when you PT!

I believe you can only use a wireless mouse if you have a desktop computer. NOT if you have a laptop.

91+ on Lawhub

Apologies if this has been asked before, any eta on when 91+ and 92+ will be available to review or score on 7sage? Just finished 91+ & plan to do 92+ before November as these are the most recent tests avaliable.

I'm guessing LSAC hasn't released a curve so it would be kinda hard to score it. Anyone remember Powerscore's prediction or have a prediction for the curve? I breezed through the LG & LR for 91+ but that RC was one of the hardest I've had. Usually average -2/3 but got -5 on this RC. The taxidermy and Patent protection passages were brutal.

Just looking for general thoughts on 91+ and if anyone wanted to discuss/compare?

LSAT · 2 weeks from test day

I'm trying to do one PT on the weekend and one PT in the week if i can squeeze it in.

Then try to do atleast one LG a day and one RC a day. I feel like these two are sections that benefit from constant repetition. If i go too many days without doing an RC i feel like I forget how to read lol. I also drill LR question types I am weakest at instead of doing full LR sections. Gonna be following this for the next 14 ish days. Wishing it goes well.

Oh and don't do anything but chill the day before the test!

Ugh. Did anyone else read answer A as to mean the number of Bajo and Guitar players combined. In my head I thought this meant total up all the Banjo and Total up all the Guitar. Obvious right answer. But on careful reading... It's saying the count of those who play both Banjo and Guitar smh.

Just my 2 cents...

I think learning the "theory" behind LR is a bit overrated. JY does a good job of outlining the basics which i think is more than enough. I've read the LSAT Trainer, Loophole, Powerscore, and the 7 Sage course (yea, i've taken the LSAT wayyyy to many times). And in my experience, these don't help too much.

What's most helpful is to just drill non stop. Learn the basics from 7sage if you want, the other sources are fine too, but then just retain that and start drilling. Do multiple practice sections of LR, then look at the analytics to where you're struggling. what question types and such. Then just keep drilling those.

To me, this is where the gains are. Maybe it's just my learning style, but i personally don't believe the "theory" is super helpful beyond the basics. You've gotta jump in there and just start doing them. Good thing there are like 90 plus tests, so just carve out tests 1-60 for drilling. And those 60 and up as full practice tests.
