Hi all!
I find that I am really struggling to increase my score. My diagnostic was a 155, I took my first LSAT in August (got a 160) and have plans to take it again in November. I feel that I am learning a lot, but then my preptests and drill scores don't reflect that. My PTs remain at the high 150s, while my blind reviews get in the mid to high 170s consistently.
Timing has been a real struggle for me, especially for RC. I've always been an avid reader and did really well on RC on the ACT, so I'm confused why I'm struggling so much; it feels like it hasn't quite "clicked" yet and I don't know what to do. I've been practicing with more time and the accuracy is getting better but is still an issue, especially when I switch back to normal timing. When I review my preptests slowly, its so much easier for me to figure out the answer, hence the high BRs.
I've learned a lot, between the core curriculum, live classes, and drilling, and I feel very stuck moving forward. I feel like I'm doing the same things and nothing is helping.
Anyone have any tips or has gone through any of this themselves? My goal is 168. I feel like that is possible to get to before the November test since I'm right on the edge of a breakthrough but don't know how to quite get there! Again, timing definitely feels like the biggest issue at the moment.
Thanks everyone!! 😊
I don't understand how Monique is not saying that good art criticism is always unbiased. She says criticism is only rendered by the best critics once biases have been shed, meaning good criticism is only unbiased. So wouldn't they both be agreeing that good art criticism has to be unbiased? To me it only seems like the point of disagreement is whether good criticism can be separated from emotion, which would've been answer C.
To me it sounds like maybe issues identifying question types when they’re all mixed together? When you drill specific question types you know exactly how to go about each question before you even read the question stem, but in a normal section there’s naturally going to be a mix and you need to take time to read each question stem and understand what it’s asking. Maybe practice identifying question types and how to tackle them when you’re presented with them randomly? Even having flash cards with possible question stems and then determining what kind of question it is and how to tackle may be helpful!
