The thing that helped me the most was reading Elle Cassidy's book: Loophole in Logical Reasoning. The chapter on translation is especially helpful. Learning to translate the stimulus and pre-phrasing are the main skills that allowed me to go from -5 per LR section to -1 per LR section on test day. In addition, I found it very helpful to develop a 'checklist' of one to two items per LR question type so that I would quickly know my task for each question type before I went into the answer choices. For example, for 'role in argument' questions my 'checklist' is: "A, CR". Where A stands for Accurate description (usually the first part of each answer choice) and the CR stands for Correct Role. If the first part of the answer choice is not accurate description then you can kill that answer without reading any further. For the answer choice (s) that begin with an accurate description, keep reading the second part of and verify that the second part describes the 'Correct Role' (i.e. make sure that every word in the second part is correct). There are 17 question types in LR and you can develop a one or two step checklist for each question type. The checklist should be very simple as a complicated checklist is likely to be forgotten on test day with the anxiety and stress of test day. The goal is to have a checklist that works 85-90% of the time as a checklist that works a 100% of the time would be too long and unwieldly. Hope this helps. Happy to share my checklist is anyone wants to use mine as a template for making their own.

Would also love to see your checklist!!! this sounds super helpful

I used 7sage & Loophole for LR, that worked well for me. Honestly I loved Logic Games Bible for LG but it seems like ur good with that. For RC its really just been tons of practice but my advice is take your time with the passage and don't rush the questions. The LSAT lab has pretty good videos for RC that have been pretty helpful.

I had a very similar diagnostic at 143 and I took a long studying hiatus but I just started studying again this last few months and I promise you will see a score increase! I also graduated with the highest honors so I had a lots of expectations and I was bummed to see a low diagnostic but your diagnostic is not indicative of your potential at all. Also, do not let your worth depend on this exam. Make sure you are blind reviewing everything. Please don't doubt yourself, I'm sure you are capable of scoring even higher. Plus you did make a score improvement so focus on the positives. Often it takes time for things to click. But definitely see which sections give you a tough time and just keep reviewing. Loophole for LR helped me a good bit and the Logic Games Bible is my favorite. And please prioritize your mental, you might just be burnt out. Take a break for a week or so and just don't look at the lsat and come back to it when you feel refreshed. You can do it!

interested!

so just press on the "lsat questions" tab and then "practice sets" and you'll basically manually select all 25 or 26 questions of that section to create a practice set. Lol I had the same question but thats the only way to do it, that I know of

Hi! If you don't mind, could you send me the link to your quizlet? Thank you so much!!!

feeling annoyed cause I thought this was a NA question so I chose B, so just a heads up be careful in distinguishing the questions stem!!!!

interested!!!

This is awesome, congrats!
