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)_____?

Was wondering what you guys thought would be possible? I've been studying since june, had a 139 diagnostic and last week scored a 156.
Breakdown was (AC's Correct) :
LR1 - 20
LR2 - 21
RC - 16
LG - 12
Wondering what you guys thought was possible for June? Let me know!
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.
with my subscription do I have access to more than the one June test from LSAC, or do I need to obtain practice tests separately?
Hey!
I'm looking for somebody in Montreal, who is taking the LSAT in December, and has a goal of 160 range! I'd really like to have a study buddy for PT's and review to help with my motivation haha.
When doing BR, do you just apply the method to LR or also LG and RC and if so how?
Anyone know where I can find the questions to all the game explanations? It's really difficult to follow along without having done the questions first.
Thanks!
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?
my BR scores have been usually between 160-165, but they have stayed in that range very consistently. I was hoping to see an upward trend in the BR scores but it hasnt occured lately - does this mean I'm not improving on the test? let me know what you guys think
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?
What should I do if when I blinder review my LR section I DO soooo much better than under timed conditions.
Thank you!
If I wanted to make note cards for the LR Q i continue to miss how do I learn from them or what is the best to write them out? In one of J.Y's videos he said he use to mark Qs missed and go over them. My dilemma is that I don't want to memorize but actually learn so when i see it i know.
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.

three PTs you may have never seen before are within the link above
for anyone who has done these please share your thoughts about its difficulty :)
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!
Basically, I'll do crappy on LG on PT's . like we are talking getting 10-12 correct. I'll blind review and usually get perfect or, -2 . Not sure what answer I'm looking for or if I am going get pointed toward 10 blank sheets of LG's ! anyone else have a similar problem with games?
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?
If you don't reach the minimum score of LSAT in December, can you to attend the law school in 2014?
scores coming out today!!!
let me know if you're in the area.. we can meet up or skype
Has anybody used earplugs while testing? And if so what kind?
LR is pretty good for me, but LG and RC are a bitch
just got owned on LG badly only got about 10 right,
RC got about 16, so its not good , but not as bad as games
ill keep doing the fool proof method but this is pretty sad cause I've done games so much more than all the other sects
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?
