Breaking the mid-160s plateau before July exam #help

AyahhhhhAyahhhhh Alum Member
in July 2019 LSAT 90 karma

Hey guys!

I am taking the July exam and have been scoring a 164 for the past several practice tests. Reading comp is my worst section, and I fluctuate between -8/-12. On logical reasoning I score between a -6/-8 on one section and a -2/-3 on the other. Thankfully, I have logic games under control. Any tips on how I can break the plateau and make the most out of the remaining month before the exam?

Thank you in advance!

    Do you know the reason for the difference in your two LR section? That is a pretty big difference for it being the same section. If it is the first section LR that you struggle with then maybe you need to warm up LR pre-test. Do some LR problems before the test.

    I have the same issue with my LR score.

    I broke the mid 160s hump by annotating the type of LR questions I was missing and then going over my old prep tests and working through those types. I wrote out a summary of the stimulus in my own words, then wrote out why each answer choice was either right or wrong. Took me from missing 5/6 a section to 1/3.

    I always score better on the first LR section. Not sure why exactly, but it may be because I need to warm up! I will see how the warm ups help my score. Thanks!

    Definitely trying out this approach today! Thank you!
