I recently took the June LSAT-Flex after completing the core curriculum and the majority of the practice tests and scored a 165. While I know this is a relatively good score, I'm disappointed as I was consistently scoring in the high 160s on PTs and even had one PT as high as 177. I was nervous on test day (my first LSAT attempt) but didn't feel myself panicking or freezing on one particular question. I just felt that I was going more slowly than usual, particularly on LG (my worst section), forcing me to rush through the last game with only 3.5 minutes (perhaps I did get stuck on the first game which I found uncharacteristically hard, but not hard enough to warrant skipping, my mistake).
As I start studying for the August exam, I'm wondering if any of you have had similar disappointing experiences on the LSAT and what you've done to re-motivate yourself to hit the books. I was feeling so good about my progress, but it's hard to feel excited or know what to do differently (seeing as my studying SEEMED to be working so well, but didn't end up panning out as I hoped it would on the real thing).
Also curious about how much you all think the different distribution of weight assigned to each section of the LSAT flex worked against someone like me whose worst section is LG. How much does the difference between 25% and 33.3% really matter?
