August 2021 TestPrep

Hey everyone I have been studying for some months now leading up to the august test and I still haven't figured out a definitive way to study for this version. Being the new version is 4 sections a repeat of any of the three sections (nobody knows which one) and one section get dropped. I am personally having a difficult time simulating a test like this and was wondering if anyone has advice on this.

I am also taking in August , and personally I am a bit worried as this is my first LSAT and feel like I am making slow progress. However, I have been going through the curriculum and doing practice sets, and starting in July I plan to take a couple of practice tests a week and BR on the day after I take the test to increase stamina. My biggest issue I am finding is stamina and being able to keep going throughout the test, but I hope that with more PT work I will be able to simulate that , as well as getting into a consistent routine of what I do as soon as I wake up and taking breaks throughout the day, etc.

@tamgutic Thanks for the input it's nice to hear someone else out there is feeling similarly. I am just very confused on how to simulate these new test formats. Hoping someone out there will offer a solution.

Your best bet is to take a PT with 3 sections and just add another section of which is weakest. Then you add practice in that section as well as stamina/mental discipline. When you need to take a PT to gauge your score average, replace the experimental section with one of the other two sections - that way your not destroying yourself and score with your weakest section but you’re still drilling it more

I’m pretty sure the test goes, section1, section 2, section 3, 15 minute break, then section 4
