Self-study
So, I want to take the July 23rd LSAT which is in roughly 5 months. I would like to get a 170. Received a 155 on the December 2017 LSAT, and am waiting to see what my score on the February 2018 LSAT was.
Doing lots of PTs is a tip that I have heard consistently on how to get a higher score. However, the time I spend doing PTs (and then blind reviewing at least the LR section) is time away from the CC - as of 02/24/18, I am only on the MSS section of the LR section of the CC, so very, very early on.
I keep going back and forth on what would be more advantageous, and would appreciate some advice on whether I should:
or
I believe option 1 will have me do more PTs between now and July 23rd.
As an aside, I did a prep test the day before the February 2018 one and got a 141, which really makes me think that my 155 in December was just a stroke of luck. So I am interested in taking the path that will maximize my chances at a 170 (or as close a score to that as possible).
To add to my "case," I have done the RC & LR Bibles, and have done maybe half the LG Bible.
Breakdown of said 155:
-8 on RC
-11 on LG
-19 on LR
The 155 is the score I got after a year and a half of very "half-assed" study. Went through the RC & LR Bibles, some of the LG Bible, and the CC's lessons on grammar and stimulus structure (which I legit think was the most valuable thing I learned before the test).
