Hello everyone,

I know that this type of posts are rather cliche, as most people likely have experienced similar episodes during their LSAT prep processes. Normally, I would just keep to myself and try to adjust my prep methods, but with the actual test date creeping up, and little to no progress, I desperately need some guidance/suggestions on studying before my time runs out. The other factors of my student profile is rather strong compared to the LSAT, and improving my score is currently the priority.

Currently, I am aiming for a 165+ on the June 2019 test, I have started studying for the LSAT about 10 months ago without doing a diagnostic test, self-studied using a Kaplan book. But it wasn't consistent, as I have classes, and a job during the semester. The first PT I did after finishing the material, I got a 160, non-strictly timed and included more, longer rest periods than the actual testing conditions.

For the past few weeks, I have been doing 3 full length LSAT PT's every week, and the scores ranged from 157-163. Also, I just started doing Blind Review last week, and there is probably little to no improvements, just yet. I will continue to do BR from now and on, but I would like to look at other factors that I could improve on, making sure that I am approaching my problems with the correct methods. Keeping track of the records, my scores still average out around 160. The typical PT for me would be -5 to -7 on each LR, -3( on LG, and -6 to -8 on RC. LG is by far my strongest section, I usually fall victim to misreading the question or trying to speed through the section under time pressure; On LR sections, I usually find that I will do much worse on one than the other, and they generally balance each other out. (Flaw, Strengthen/Weaken questions are usually the problems); RC is often the nightmare for me, and the one that I run out of time on relatively frequent. English is my not my native language (L3, in fact), and I struggle to catch all the important elements in the passage clearly, especially the ones that have a lot of viewpoints and filled with technical terms (Scientific Passages). The hardest type of questions in this section would be Inference, and Author's attitude towards x (A lot of the times, I don't understand all the words listed, and forced to guess between two)(/p)

Ideally, I would keep to the current testing date for a few reasons: 1. I already paid for the admission ticket; 2. The new digital LSAT is rolling out in July, and fully implemented by September. Personally, I find that I would lose attention faster on a digital platform than regular paper tests (I tried the free Khan prep course for a bit, and I regularly lose focus while doing the questions). Thus, I would try to avoid taking the digital one as much as possible. 3. I am finishing my undergrad this year, and I can't afford to take a gap year, so catching the upcoming admission cycle would be important.

With little over 2 months left, I am already spending all the time I could to study, but I don't think I am using my resources effectively, and keep taking PT at this rate probably won't give me the improvements that I am hoping for. I would like to change up my schedules, but not really sure where to start at this point... If anyone can provide me with suggestions, it would be much appreciated! Thanks for your time in advance!
