I generally get 163s on my full length practice exams. Using (http://www.lsatqa.com/), it shows that generally my LR is 20/19, LG is 17, RC is 25. The problem with my logic games section is when I have a full hour, I can get all of them right. When it is timed, I only get a small section done, and then speed guess on the rest (in an attempt to get some points rather than none) if there's 2 minutes to go. My question is: I sit for the exam in December. Should I focus on improving LR, or try and improve on LG to get more total points? I don't need to apply for law school until fall of 2014, so I can a) choose to withdraw from Dec and take in Feb b) try and study as much as possible before Dec 7, c)_____?

I have been working on Logical Reasoning and Logic Games, and I feel pretty comfortable with them. I still end up scoring in the 150's however due to reading comp. I feel like the only way to really improve is to do them and get them wrong and try to do better next time? I feel sort of lost. I have been reading the Economist and scholarly journals on scientific information to try and hone those skills as far as reading goes. However, I am not sure why I just cant make it work.

Any Tips?

Okay so the past two practice tests I've done I did well on one LR section and not so well on the other. I got a 20 and a 13 and a 20 and a 14. Is this normal to perform so differently on the same type of section? The higher score was the earlier section for both tests so does it have to do with endurance?

Any advice on jumping into the 170+ range?

LG is definitely my weakness. Currently, I'm scoring at about 75% correct in the section (-6) and if I can get it to -0 to -1 I'd be at around a 170-172. I've been doing tons of the 7sage method in the last month and it has helped a ton, but I feel like I need a stronger final push before December. Any suggestions?

I know the games in the latest tests are a bit different or perhaps easier as many say. Is it wise to probably work back on the preptests from preptest 70? so that I'm not faced with "oh crap i need more time to practice on this new kind of stuff" a week before the exam.

Hello all!! So, I've got a bit of a predicament. I've taken the OCT LSAT but did not get to spend as much time as I needed to prep and thus didn't receive the score that I would have liked to have. I got an OK score, 153, but I know that with proper prep time, I can score at least in the low 160's. I'd like to start submitting applications soon but I'm wondering if I should hold off on submitting. Is it possible to submit applications with my current score and then when the DEC LSAT scores come out, add that to my already submitted applications, or is it smarter to wait to apply until after I receive these scores? I realize that applying earlier gives me a much better chance of being accepted and waiting could hurt my chances, but on the other hand, a better score gives me a much stronger application. Any help would be great! Thanks guys!

Hi, I received 141 for October LSAT. This score is unexpected, because my range for practice exams was from 147 to 152.

I plan to retake December LSAT. Would you share some study tips? Is it better to watch 7sage lecture once again? I was panic on game section on October LSAT.

I got 152 October 2012 when I was a senior in college. This score was almost what I expected (a little below) because I knew I was not applying that year.. I didn't prepare that much.

And I took my second LSAT last October and got 152. This was totally unexpected because I expected 159-163. But I was so nervous in game section and messed up (I guessed almost 10 questions in game section).

I am retaking December LSAT. I am pretty confident that I will score about 5 to 10 points more...as long as I don't get too nervous as I did before. Even though I got 10 more points, that is still under 165 which was my ultimate goal....

Any tip for retaking third LSAT??

I processed two recommendations and transcript, and I am working with my personal statement. Should I go for ED with 152? Or should i just wait for December score and apply then?

Also, I heard that law school applicants are keep declining... would that increase the probability of admission this year??

I was so discouraged this morning after I received my score :( :(.... Please help!

I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on this method?

So far I've just been doing VIEWSTAMP and following the 7Sage advice, but I can't help but miss several per PT section. Anyhow, I was wondering if it would help to switch it up a bit by absorbing the questions first, but I am worried that this approach wouldn't work because my reading would become biased.
