I started studying for the LSAT in Mid-July and studied intensively till right before the October test. I was pt'ing at about 170-173 range for a long time. I took about 30 times PT's. I noticed that as I got up in the PT's to the 70s my numbers slightly dropped to the lower end of the spectrum 170 and some 169's. Regardless I took the October LSAT and while it seemed relatively easy while I was taking it. I feel extremely uncertain. If I get below a 170 I am 100% retaking. Should I continue to study from now until I get my score? I've also burned through all of my PT's. How should I prepare? My score breakdown has been remarkably consistent across all tests with
LR at -0 to -4 (combined)
RC at -0 to -3
LG at 0 (in the easy pt 40s) to -7 or 8! Usually around -3 to -5.
I've been through the trainer (not the logic game section) and the entire 7sage curriculum.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The last time I took PT 71 was before the October Test. I went -1 on RC and ended up the entire test being close to a personal best. Don't let that say anything to you, because on the October i ended up going -6, close to my personal worst. (Proctors decided to have a whispering conversation during my RC section, the one section that any discernible conversation will throw me off)
But, the main difference I saw was that there were way more inference questions. Before, you could sort of rely on the fact that the a good portion of the questions were just going to test specific details. Now, every passage has multiple inference questions. Once you get used to these new inference questions, you should see your score go back to where it was at.
