My score dropped by 6 points!!

Hello,

I've done 70, 73 , 69, 68, 66 before. Today I did 71, and my score dropped by 6 points! I really don't know why and don't know what to do.

Thank you @974 and @974 :) I need to see everything by the 20 minute mark. How? Do you suggest doing couple of questions from each game then come back to finish them later?

Once I hit the 20 minute mark, even that I have 15 minutes, I start to panic. When I hit the 30 minutes, I just flip. Especially if I am not half way through my fourth game.

I have been following your strategy for some months now. It works very well, especially at the beginning when I used to make mistakes. But now this timing problem is killing me.

Thank you all

@974 , is there a situation where you say, oh, let me jump to the questions right away before trying to internalize the rules? I usually take some time to understand the rules, decide whether I should split or not, and try to make some hypothetical examples on how the rules will interact. Afterwards I start doing the game. With this, I usually spend at least 3 minutes. The questions sometimes flyby. But sometimes I regret spending this set up time because the questions wouldn't really need it.

I feel that my enemy is grouping. It is not like I don't know how to solve it, but my stupid brain doesn't seem to make the inferences as fast as sequencing. I now printed all grouping games and doing one by one (again).

Hello

@974 thank you. I like your idea, but would you skip the game if you didn't finish it?

@torahisland910 thank you very much. True, but I see most of the time is spent up front trying to digest the rules. So if I know the game well, then that setup wouldn't take that much time. Once I setup the game and familiarize myself with the rules, the questions go by really fast. For example, I did PT66 today. I finished first second and fourth game then I was left for 5 minutes for the third game. By the time I finished the setup and learning the rules, the time was over. I couldn't finish more than 2 questions. Even though the questions were flying by.

Thank you very much. Do you suggest on keep doing these games even if I feel that I memorizing them (foolproof method)?

The thing is, I've been at this stage for some months now!

Hello,

I have been having this problem for some months now. I can't finish 4 games. I finish three games and won't have more than 3 minutes on my fourth game. I don't go in sequence. I usually tackle the sequencing ones or the ones that seem easier first.

I have done all the games until PT39. I've done many of them multiple times as well. But I don't seem to be able to break this wall. I usually finish two games within 12 minutes.

I noticed that grouping questions drain a lot of my time. Should I just practise this type of questions more?

Please, I very appreciate your input,

PT 26 Section 4 Bus Game

Hello, I am having a trouble understanding this rule:

H occupies the aisle seat immediately behind G's aisle seat. Why are we putting G in the aisle seat? What about this:

3 _ H

2 G _

1 _ _

Isn't H still immediately behind G's aisle seat?

Thank you

Thank you @nordeend22 :) As for the BR, so am I not the only one who spends that much time? I always thought when people BR, they spend let's say only 2-3 minutes instead of 1:20 minutes which is allocated in timed condition.

Thank you all very much for your input. I will stop PTing and head back to the curriculum again. When I went through the curriculum second time, I didn't watch all JY's solution for the problem sets. I will do that this time. Thank you :)

Hello, thank you. I usually take a lot time during BR. I take around 3 hours per section. That includes solving and checking the answers. I think this is the problem, right?

During BR, I make sure that I understand the stimulus completely. I think that's a wrong thing to do. Sometimes I spend more than 5-10 minutes per question. However, during timed PT, I just roughly understand the stimulus.

A dumb question, do you fully understand the stimulus when you do a timed PT? Sorry, it is a dumb question, but I am dumb.

I tried two methods, one is by trying to go over as many questions as possible to collect the easy ones. But what happened is that I lost accuracy. I didn't do well. I was averaging 12 wrong per LR section. Today I tried to spend as much time as I need per question and was thinking even if I leave 5-6 questions then I would still be better than what I am at now. Nope, it still didn't work.

@nordeend22 , I am afraid that I am wasting PTs too. I am rushing up during PT and panicking too that I don't understand the stimulus.

Hello folks,

Here it is me whining again. When I BR, I score in the 160s but when I do timed PT, I can't pass the 146-147. I did most of 7Sage's video twice, and I am redoing The Trainer again now. I really don't know what to do any more. I feel (which probably wrong) that I know the material. Currently I am doing two PTs a week, and I BR after every PT.

I improved by 10 points since I started last December. My diagnostic was a horrible 130's yet my current score is still horrible!

Please, I need your advice :)

So if you drill by section, would you eventually be able to see the patterns in each question type? I keep jumping between the two ideas: drill by type versus by section.

Thank you very much @974 and @974 . I will drill flaw by question. I didn't know that I can select what PT to include in the analytics, so thank you for that. I selected the last 5 and I apparently suck at flaw questions :( It is 51% for the last 5 while it is 40% for the whole 10. Still bad but at least some tiny improvement.

Quick question: the analytics doesn't reflect your BR, right?

Drill by type or by section?

By today I finished 10 PTs. LSAT Analytics reads that my accuracy in Flaw is 40% ! I was planning to do section by section drilling but after seeing this number I thought I probably need to drill Flaw type questions from the Cambridge Bundle. What do you say?

I think that I am good at Flaw questions especially after finishing The Trainer, but still this what LSAT Analytics shows. The number is reflecting older PTs which were taken before reading The Trainer. My worst types are NA and Flaw.

Thank you very much

Thank you very much all. I very appreciate it. @974 also suggested listening to audiobook, which I am doing now. Before I started studying for the LSAT, in other words when I had more time, I used to read novels. And a lot of that. But that has nothing to do with understanding RC :(.

Does it happen to you that you read an LR stimulus or RC paragraph and say: what the hell did I just read?

Hi @7sagestudentservices , true. No strategy intended. I didn't get a response when I posted in the afternoon so I posted in TLS afterwards in the evening.

I am probably targeting a very small group with my this question. Sorry to all 7sagers who may understand my intention differently.
