This was the easier one of the passages on this PT yet I got 4 wrong on this one and 1 wrong for each of the others... always humbling

I think this question made me overthink so much because, maybe it's just me, but the analogy made no sense and i couldn't see how they were even trying to insinuate the same thing

When I was doing this passage, it didn't feel that difficult but then I ended up only getting 2 of the questions right... not sure how to mitigate a difficult passage on the real test when its so unpredictable and worth so many questions per one passage

I don't know why but this question was really hard even in BR I changed my answer and still got it wrong i think i couldn't even see the discrepancy and what they were trying to get at to even look for an answer in the AC

I have done this question 4 times over the past 6 months and I've picked C every single time.... this question is so tough

The only reason I got this wrong was because them saying it was breaking patterns made me think that C was a trap answer where half is right but the other half is wrong so I disregarded it.... this PT is really discouraging me

I had ruled out C because it seemed like a trap answer where you think who cares if others had done similar.... this question killed me even in BR I didn't see it

Ya applications have to be completely finalized by nov 1! If you submit with it saying pending then it just goes void.

Pretty sure they all need to be submitted by the deadline of November 1st! I would email you reference to remind them of the deadline

Okay thank you so much I followed up with my references. Also do you know if it matters what order they are I have 3 my strongest refrence is my 3rd does that matter

sorry that might be a dumb question

honeslty the fact that the wrong AC is more popular than the right one i dont even care that i got this one wrong

Hi, I was in the same boat as you last week and I took the weekend off and it really helped me calm my brain. I did have moments where I felt like I was wasting time or started getting nervous but it really did help take it slow for like two days. What I am ending up doing, just a suggestion though, is to take October and if it doesn't go as planned just take november! I tend to get in my own head a lot but then I look at how much I'm Pting ang and get confidence again! Good luck on your studying!!!!

Thank you! I took a few days off and did some more practice and just scored well again on a PT so I think it was mental and the pressure of the test coming up, my confidence is defiently back up again so hoping for the best for oct and if not theres alwyas nov!

I am experiencing the exact same situation. I have been scoring pretty well since I started studying and now I just scored my lowest PT since my diagnostic. I used to get -5 on LR sections now im getting -11.I think the pressure of the october test coming up is making my performance drop and im overthinking answers. I am registered for the november test as well so maybe look into that

Probably stop studying, I was testing around 160s and a little higher and on test day got a 161. Let your brain rest, if anything just make sure you got a plan for test day, eat the right things get good sleep. But probably stop cramming in more drills and tests. It won’t be so helpful at this point. After your test you can reassess your study plan if you want to score higher based on your results. You got this let the work you’ve don’t go into effect.

Thank you I will just take it slow until my test day

Thank you @ that makes me feel better.

Why do question 6 and 7 have the same stimulus

My suggestion: Don’t sign up for the LSAT until you have already scored your goal score on your practice tests or are within striking distance (typically 1-4 points away) of your goal score. For example: If your goal score is a 160 and the last 4 test you’ve taken are a 159, 158, 161, 160, sign up and take it. However, if your last 4 tests are 148, 146, 149, 147, and you are hoping to get a 160, don’t sign up just yet. The LSAT registration deadline is typically two months ahead of the LSAT test date. Increasing your score by 1-4 points in two months is doable, however, increasing your score by 10+ points in two months is much harder. It is not impossible, but why waste money and a test attempt? You only have a limited number of tests you can take so don't waste them when you aren't close to your goal score. Preferably, you'll take it when you are ready and would only take the LSAT 1-2 times and be done with it.

Note: If money is not an issue. You can sign up anyway. Just be mindful of the test withdrawal date. You can withdraw from the LSAT days before the test is set to begin and it doesn’t count towards your attempts but there is no refund so you'll loose out the $200 you paid.

Thank you so much

there needs to be more application to real lsat questions for these logic lessons because just saying if A then B does not help to visualize what it actually means and how it can be applied when doing questions
