Which section to focus on?

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)_____?

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.

Help with logical reasoning

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?

So I rescheduled from October to December. I am currently in the 150's. With two months left. I have been re-going over the course, re-going over the bibles and trying to practice as much as possible.

I want a 170. Is this possible for someone like me? I will seriously do anything. I work 40 hours a week and can only schedule in maybe 3-4 hours a day usually and am going to start doing more practice tests. But I feel like I keep working for hours on age and getting no where. Sorry to be a downer. I just want to see if anyone has some advice for me. My weakness is LR. So i made an outline and am memorizing the stuff that J.Y. said to memorize within the course. I have only gotten through till assumptions however. I guess I would like to know if I should be doing more practice exams or what I need to be doing to improve more.

just received my Oct score, had a 6 points jump but still below some of my reach schools' median. I see my improvement and am pretty sure that I can do better if do it one more time. Now my personal statement and everything else is done, so I will be able to concentrate.

Question is, does it look bad in front of admissions committee when they see my score from three consecutive testing date? I know this is a stupid question but I'm a little concerned. There are probably some other test takers just like me who is planning another run.

Still, I am kinda happy for my improvement. Wish you all reached your targeting score! If not, see you on December 7th :)

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'll have PT's where I'll bomb a games section, and do pretty good on all the others.

I'll have a PT where I bomb reading comp, and the other sections go not bad

I'll have a pt where I bomb an LR sect and do MEH on games, but have a good RC and other LR sect

Almost all of my PT's lately have been like this, I cannot put a full PT together. I'll do good on some sections, bad on others, and it just varies from section to section per PT to PT. anyone else having this issue?

Recent LSAT score is 154. Breakdown is LG 12, LR 15, LR 15, RC 20.

I am struggling with LG and LR a bit. My goal is to hit 160 by december. Can anyone help me out? I am 75% done with the 7sage course. How should I plan the remainder of my studies? Should I start taking two prep test per week?

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm shooting for Feb or June 2014. (Ideal timing for my life right now would be an April exam, sheesh.) I'll make that call at the beginning of Jan (obviously by Jan 7, 2014). If I go through all the material and "use up" my PTs as if I were writing in Feb, but then do not register, am I hampering myself for June? What level of studying (hours per week) is typically needed to keep the high-scoring momentum going?

I've wrestled with nervousness/anxiety in the past and do not want to feel excessive time pressure. (Yes, I realize the irony of what I just said. I do understand that "managing time stress" (both acute and chronic) is a necessary skill that the LSAT and law school both test. I'm just trying to find my most effective pressure sweet spot here people!)

If, by January, I realize that I will not write Feb, would it be better to preserve unseen PTs by re-doing old ones until April/May? Is there such a thing as stretching your studying out over too many months?
