So I’m taking the LSAT tomorrow, my last official PT score was a 160 (my goal score) and I have just been feeling so incredibly nervous this entire week. Last time I took the official test I scored a 155 because I was so anxious and panicked, so I ended up guessing and it was like all my work went out the window, and I really don’t want that happening now. I also took an RC section yesterday and got a 17/26 so I’m slightly panicked at what if the same thing happens or for some reason the actual test is harder and I just panic even more.
I FINALLY broke out of the 150s a week before my exam. Honestly started tearing up because I have never scored this high, are there any tips that I should keep in mind before the official test? I feel like I was skipping questions that I found difficult and that really helped me but I am just so happy with this final score.
Hi everyone! So I’m taking the August test, and I just took PT 156 last night and I’m feeling discouraged based off my results. I had been consistently scoring in the upper 150s on PTs in the 150s, but for this particular exam it was like the arguments weren’t clicking for me at all. I will deeply review it but I feel like I’m getting really stressed that the same thing will happen on my actual exam next month. Any advice?
@AriVilker1 you are correct in that I didn’t do a very thorough BR, especially with my RC section, but okay so this week I’ll review my exam and prepare myself for the next one this weekend. Should I only be taking one test a week? Or should I be taking 2 tests, once at the beginning and setting aside a few days to review, and the other towards the end while also setting aside a few days for review?
So, I took PT 152 and scored a 159, BR was 162. My goal score is anywhere in the 160+ range, what should I do before my August test? Of course I'll be taking a test every week before my exam, but I wanted to ask how do I approach scoring even higher next time?
I feel like it mainly has to do with test anxiety, as long as you can manage that and go into the exam with an open mind and treat it like a normal PT, you should be okay. Easier said than done because I’m so nervous haha but I also took the test last year and scored a few point lower than how I was scoring on my PTs and it was largely due to the anxiety.
