Need to Retake--Advice on Prep

hheck87

I took the June 2018 LSAT and scored right at the low end of where I want to be. I plan on retaking in September. Any advice on how best to prep in the next couple of months? I feel like I set myself up really well for the test in June and I am out of fresh PTs to use. Thoughts?

The common suggestion is to drill the concepts using pts 40 and below keep in mind the newer format of the tests (lr /rc mainly ) newer pts should be reserved strictly for pting. Figure out how many points you need to move up this all depends on your target score . Revisit the cc on areas of weakness

Even if you are out of materials, there have to be some tests that you did a while ago that you don't remember fully. Use those tests as your PTs. As for materials, use the analytics and go back over all of the questions you got wrong. Dive deep and figure out what you did wrong and why you got those questions wrong. If necessary, write out explanations. If anything is unclear, as @ebalde1234 said, revisit the CC. You got this!

@JustDoIt and @ebalde1234 said exactly what I was going to say lol. I used up all 80+ PTs for the February exam doing 4 PTs a week (don't do what I did here), so I had to reuse PTs for June. I basically drilled PT 1-40 by question types and PT 70-80 for full exams. Even though I've seen all of the questions before, I felt like they were really engaging me the second time around and the patterns were more apparent. This method helped me get a 178 for this June.
