June LSAT

Hey Guys,

I studied roughly 6 months for the February LSAT, took the test and scored relatively lower than my PT average. I had a pretty bad test day; they tried to kick me out off the bat et cetera. I scored a 159 while my general average was around a 164 or higher.

I am thinking about retaking the June LSAT. After taking a small break, I feel so much better looking at the test. Things just come to me naturally in a way that seemed so foreign before. HOWEVER

the problem is I only have roughly 3 PTs I have not taken. What should I do?

I took about a month and a half off, and when I look at old PTs I don't consciously remember any of the questions, however I am scoring oddly higher (167 range). I don't know if this is due to the break, or subconscious memory.

What do you guys think, can I learn with these 'old' PTs?

Should I reserve the untainted PTs to one a week?

Ahhh! Thanks. Has there ever been a case in which LSAC released scores past their official date?

Is it possible the scores will come out later in the night, or is there a cut off at some time today where I should simply expect it tomorrow.

The suspense... is killing me

I am also dealing with the weight gain. The whole time I just kept telling myself.. this is too important, the gym can wait! And then I saw my passport photo for the test and was like.. uh oh. I better hit my target score hahaha

Haha I saw a logic game on the floor, and I instinctively picked it up to do it. I then realized that I didn't need to. So weird! I also log in here out of habit and without a purpose. ahhhh

Good call guys.

Yeah I think I am just going to take one last PT today, review tomorrow and just hang out Friday. I don't know why, but i feel so bad when I'm not studying. But I have gotta get over it, its becoming counter intuitive at this point haha

Good luck Saturday!

No I thought the same thing

Then again now reading it over, I guess it doesn't say ALL doctors. It just says doctors, so maybe that can be translated to some.

I don't know, I sometimes have a discrepancy for the aesthetic ambiguity projected by the LSAC, coupled with their spurious, and sometimes obnoxiously critical lens they choose to enact at will. Maybe I'm just deficient in logic. Test is in two days, I don't care at this point lol

4 Days out

I feel like I'm starting to burn out, and with such a short amount of time between now and the test I'm not sure what the best option is.

I wanted to take a PT a day, but I'm afraid ill loose my edge come game day.

Anyone advice/similar feelings? People say at this point in the game you have learned all you can before the test anyway, however I'm not sure if building stamina should be the priority here, or rest or what.

Opinions greatly appreciated!

That's a good call. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure like 65% of the questions I miss are due to me not taking the conclusion literally enough or skimming over an in incredibly crucial word..

I have no idea why, but once in a while, as was the case with this LR question, I 'read' a different conclusion than is stated. Does this happen to anyone? it took me like 7 minutes during BR to realize they said 'dropped' and not 'created' and the whole time I'm going, there is no way ANY of these answer choices help show, by the fact coins are underneath these implements that they weren't made before the coins. Oy vey.. ill tell ya

I've come across the same thing. For one reason or another, I develop confidence by moving more quickly throughout the exam. I feel as though when I'm getting backed up per question, the time pressure incrementally builds up towards the end of the test and gets to me. I run out of time/confidence to get particular questions I would have otherwise gotten right, wrong. I've found that as of recent, I keep the idea that I can always come back with a fresh mind after I finish all of the questions in my back pocket, rather than trying to 100% figure it out right then and there. I've been finishing LR sections with 8 minutes +/- to spare, and use that time to go back and do either unseemly long q's I skipped to complete or review q's I was unsure of.

good point, however the other answers were just terrible. I still don't know if that justifies an answer choice though

Feb LSAT

If Feb LSAT is undisclosed, how is it that the test creators know their questions are not flawed? Should I be troubled by this? lol

I bought the LSAT 180 watch against my better judgement and really like it. I am aware its over priced/poorly made et cetera but it has solidly done the trick, easy to use, second hand moves only every two seconds so when you glance its at a stand still (I know.. im lame) and am happy I bought it. Just sayyyiin!

I am also a very anxious person, and while it may not seem like much I like just pressing one button and not having to worry about it

Ill tell you what, I don't know about you guys, but I am totally 100% ready to take this test. Everything else aside, I am simply ready to go back to real life. I will remember this experience.. for the rest of my life.

I plan on just doing a PT maybe every other day, with various full day breaks (maybe 2-3). The day between PT's continue to review while doing maybe 3 new logic games additional to the new LG's per test daily. Final week, maybe 1 PT daily for 4 consecutive days, with a full day off the day before the actual test. Yourself?

Yeah same thing happened to me. RC became much more difficult out of nowhere, and I felt as though the LR passages, while still the same core idea, became a little different i.e. context becoming more relevant sometimes, structurally more clear but still different et cetera. I've seen my score jump back up to where it used to be as long as I didn't get discouraged and just kept focusing on the question of: How is my understanding wrong/why did I get this wrong, and how do I understand it/identify it, not only more quickly but with more accuracy.
