Hi @juliettodell861 ! I am looking to sit for the August exam as well. @pinkanblack4177 and I have been in contact and are looking to start studying ASAP. We are on EST though so for me it would be 8:30pm which I am okay with but I don't know @pinkanblack4177 's schedule if you want to get in contact and we can see about setting something up. =)

The thing that helped me the most was reading Elle Cassidy's book: Loophole in Logical Reasoning. The chapter on translation is especially helpful. Learning to translate the stimulus and pre-phrasing are the main skills that allowed me to go from -5 per LR section to -1 per LR section on test day. In addition, I found it very helpful to develop a 'checklist' of one to two items per LR question type so that I would quickly know my task for each question type before I went into the answer choices. For example, for 'role in argument' questions my 'checklist' is: "A, CR". Where A stands for Accurate description (usually the first part of each answer choice) and the CR stands for Correct Role. If the first part of the answer choice is not accurate description then you can kill that answer without reading any further. For the answer choice (s) that begin with an accurate description, keep reading the second part of and verify that the second part describes the 'Correct Role' (i.e. make sure that every word in the second part is correct). There are 17 question types in LR and you can develop a one or two step checklist for each question type. The checklist should be very simple as a complicated checklist is likely to be forgotten on test day with the anxiety and stress of test day. The goal is to have a checklist that works 85-90% of the time as a checklist that works a 100% of the time would be too long and unwieldly. Hope this helps. Happy to share my checklist is anyone wants to use mine as a template for making their own.
Hi Ravinder! Would you mind sharing your check list? This sounds like such a great idea!
Thank you
I was having this same issue when I made the switch from paper to digital. I will agree, that at first it was time consuming, however, I do all my practice sections digitally now and I found I have become faster at highlighting and underlining in this format. It is very helpful with maintaining accuracy as Kkole said.
Best of luck! =)
Hi everyone! A few people and myself have a GroupMe going and are studying for the August exam. We plan on doing PT 62 this weekend and BR for it on Sunday. If anyone is interested feel free to join at any point in your studies!
You're invited to my new group 'LSAT Buddies' on GroupMe. Click here to join: https://groupme.com/join_group/67593702/QrsFB80o
I requested to join but it still says pending...not sure if it was received?
Hello! I am prepping for the August exam as well! Def interested in a study group.
Thank you all for your valuable input! I decided I am going to wait to take it. =)
Hi all!
So, I am trying to make a decision on whether to take the April exam or push it to a later date. It would be my second take. The April exam I signed up for was free because I have not yet used my free take and the latest date I could sign up for and use it was the April exam. My dilemma is, I know I will not be fully ready to take April but I am wondering if I should do it anyway since it was a free exam and could be a practice round or would it look bad to have that extra take on my transcript? Would it be better to just cancel it and take the exam when I am fully ready and not have that extra take? Thoughts/Opinions?
Thank you all and Happy studying!
I am on board with this wishful thinking lol

So.... what are we all expecting for this curve?
I’m expecting -11 or -10. But I guess the digital format might help it? Lol wishful thinking?
If I start in 2020 as planned I will be 32. I was always hard on myself for starting so late but I learned to value the life experience I have had thus far and it is never too late!
Hey Daniel! Welcome! This community is fantastic. Many inspiring and motivational success stories.
I have a similar story to yours in that I did not fair too well my first go at college. I did not take it as seriously as I should have. I didn't do terrible but seeing as I have high goals now I realize my past caught up to me a bit, but never too late! My second attempt at college was much better and I was able to bring my GPA up but my past still affected my cumulative GPA so that stinks a bit. So here I am shooting for a 170+ hopefully! I plan on taking November also so we will see how that goes!
Best of luck and to answer your question, I def think you have a good shot!
I will get a 160 plus on tomorrow's exam!!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!
