thanks so much @ - you're truly a LSAT saint for continuously providing advice and counsel to everyone on this board. As for pacing, I have been skipping, which helps me to get through the section now, but not so much time to review though. I'll try to drill more, but was there anything different you started to do in your study routine when you jumped into the high 160's and then the 170's?

@ Thanks for your response! My weakness in RC is not being able to finish all the passages in time. I get really stressed out with timing and so that makes it hard for me to fully process/think clearly when it comes to the passages. LR is similar - I make lots of careless reading errors that I correct on BR. But of course, they're not all "careless" errors as I have about 2-4 Q's that I really couldn't figure out. Right now, my Analytics say that strengthen/weaken/flaw Q's are my worst. When you BR and do retakes, how often do you revisit your missed Q's? Also would you mind sharing what your typical weekly study schedule looks like?

Advice Request - Feb 2017

Hi all,

I am seeking some advice as I have been studying on/off for a little over a year now and am only scoring in the 159-164 range, BR in the 165-170's. I have been planning to take this December exam, but decided to post-pone last minute - now really hoping to write in February 2017. I have taken almost all the recent exams, but can't seem to consistently score in the upper160's or break into the 170's. RC/LR are my weakest, LG is pretty strong. I have been doing the same thing - take the timed PT/BR/review. I also occasionally go back to the CC and take timed sections of retakes, but I haven't really seen any jumps in my score in quite awhile. Becoming quite discouraged and thinking this field may not be for me if I'm struggling this much with the LSAT and when it's only going to get harder from here. Anyway, I think a lot of my struggle comes a lot from the mental endurance more so than being unable to grasp the concepts. Any advice of what I should focus on until February - do recent retakes/drill/timed sections/etc. - would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys.
