I scored lower on my retake (168) than my first score (169)

I studied for the first take about 3-4 hours a day/5days a week for about 5 months, after a 5 month period in between

my retake was about 2-3 hours a day 4 days a week for another 4 months

My first score was my PT avg the month prior going into the test

My retake was a total underperformance, as I was PTing around 171-173 a month going in...

I retook because I was WL at my top school choices... with my 169...

I'm very disappointed because I really felt confident in my retake especially with a better familiarity of the material this time around...

my LG was 0/-1, LR 0/-4 (avg -2), RC was -3/-6 ( avg -4)

I have used all the recent PT's and the rest for sections and problem sets...

I am definitely thinking about August with the deadline approaching....

How do I approach studying as I used most of the material with no fresh PT to gauge my standing

I appreciate any input

Thank you all!

Hey everyone,

I just finished my LSAT writing section. However, I realized that when it prompted me to take a picture of my id, i held it away from the camera and next to my face on accident. I believe it will be super blurry, so is this something I need to worry about? Am I overreacting?

Proctors: There were 2, and they were very fast and quiet throughout testing.

Facilities: Very nice and clean

What kind of room: Small classroom, not a lecture room

How many in the room: About 20

Desks: Very nice, all separate desks with a push in chair

Left-handed accommodation: yes, but it wasn't needed, all desks were separate

Noise levels: Quiet other than many people got up for a bathroom break and came back just in the first 3 sections, and you could hear the other classrooms reading their instructions

Parking: Very good, no real trouble finding a spot

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Test did not start until about 10, a lot of people to assign to classrooms

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Other comments: Pretty good testing experience, proctors were quiet, nice, professional, and considerate

Would you take the test here again? Absolutely

Date[s] of Exam[s]: October 2011

I need help really bad guys. I read the Ellen Cassidy book on Logical Reasoning and throughout my studies I've been doing really good on Logical Reasoning. I just hit the newest Practice Tests (80s) and it seems like every answer choice I pick is wrong. I'm struggling so bad with these newer tests and their abstract language. I'm crying and so so anxious about my upcoming test because it seems like nothing is working. It seems like all my work has been for nothing. Does anyone have any advice at all on how to reset my mindset for the newer Logical Reasoning sections? I try going to Manhattan Prep and watching JY's lessons on the new answer choices but it seems like literally nothing is helping.

any engineer/math majors who found it terribly difficult to do LG on computer-based test, and were able to get into 17x on computer-based lsat official administration?

how exactly do you work on lg on paper for every answer choice?

it seems much more difficult than LG during paper-based test days, as most if not almost all answer choices need transcribing on paper to be worked on.

earlier the answer choices were already on paper, so one could just draw on their top or check them against own diagram on paper.

i find it almost impossible now.

i have taken LSAT before during its paper-based days and have a 17x score, which is now expiring, and need retake.

LG was almost perfect for me on paper in 35 min.

but i have taken PT several times on computer now and it's much worse.

Is there any available resource to compare how difficult PT-X's LG section with PT-Y's LG section as a whole?

E.g. for an average 170-scorer, how many approximate misses in PT-55 LG compared to PT-75 LG within 35 mins in strict test conditions.

This is not referring to how difficult an individual Game but only LG section as a whole.
