Feeling a bit discouraged… scored way below my PsT

ndilmagh

Got my August score back and it was 7 points under my PT average and is not even good enough to apply. I am signed up for November and am wondering where to go from here. I understand the fundamentals of LR, am good with LG, and am restudying/drilling RC. While I understand LR, I've noticed lately I take longer to understand the stimulus so any tips are welcome.

I was thinking to drill LR/RC until the first week of october, then take 2 pts a week with thorough blind review every week until November. any help is welcomed and appreciated!!!

Aw don't be discouraged! Same thing happened to me in June, but my 2nd take was better. Nerves really got to me on the first LSAT. I would say try to avoid burnout, and I did 1 PT a week (with Blind Review) and then 1 section & BR for 4 days a week. And then 1 day to review key takeaways each week.

For understanding the stimulus faster, I recommend Ellen Cassidy's translation drills. They're in her book The Loophole.
