@ I started listening to the PowerScore LSAT Podcast, which provided me with some insights/tricks that I had never considered before. I struggled the most with reading comp, especially the science passages, so I also started listening to the Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast and reading an article from sciencenews.org every day. This helped making the science passages in reading comp less daunting for me and I stopped getting as many of the easy questions wrong. After every practice test, I would make a list of the question types I got wrong and the ones I had "mastered." Then, I would revisit the core curriculum lessons on the question types I got wrong and drill those questions types timed and untimed. Making these lists helped me pinpoint where my weaknesses are in timed conditions, which informed me where I needed to devote more time to. It was also helpful for me to have the "successes" part of the list so I could see where I was improving. It was a morale boost for me. You may already be doing these things but I wasn't before and I wish I had been doing them sooner! Good luck!

The same thing happened to me for the August exam. I scored lower than any of my recent practice exams. I was so discouraged and honestly felt like a failure. I had studied for 9 months at that point. I was already signed up for the November test and I didn't want to delay any further, so I doubled down and changed my study habits. I knew where I was struggling and what tripped me up on test day, so I focused on those areas. Even though there wasn't a lot of time between the two tests, I was still able to improve my score significantly for the November test. If I can do it, you can too! Give yourself time to be upset but then you have to move on. For me, it almost helped knowing that I couldn't do much worse on my second test because I had already bombed the first one. Keep your chin up, there is hope!

Interested, thanks!

I am interested if it is not too late! schatzdjessica@.com

I also did way worse than I anticipated. It really is a blow to my confidence and makes me question whether I will realistically be able to improve by enough by the November exam.
