Taking the LSAT cold

Napester

I keep seeing this expression about taking Preptest cold. What is that exactly? Because I think I may be doing that, since when I take a practice test the first section kinda just smacks me in the face and about halfway through the second section I begin to find my rhythm and get comfortable with the test. Is there any way to fix this?

It just means taking your first practice test before you've had any LSAT preparation.

Agree with the other posters. In the context you're using it however, it may be that you didn't "warm up".

Many folks recommend doing a couple easy LR problems or an easy game to get in the mindset before taking the test.

I think we all work up momentum

Try "warming up". I also think more practice has helped me hit my stride more quickly.

Good call @SherryS1 . I did a couple of games, an RC passage and like the first 10 LR in a section for my warm up. It typically got me ready to hit the ground running.
