What is the best way to keep the majority of full length tests untouched?

  If you do most of your drilling here, 7sage shows you which PTs are still "clean" and completely untested, and also shows you how many questions you've seen from each PT (if applicable). Because of this, I know they pull from the earliest tests first, to keep more recent PTs fresh.

  That said...

  The actual LSAT will have questions that feel very familiar. You haven't seen them before, but you've seen the exact structure or topic or both. I, too, wanted to save "fresh" PTs as long as possible, but after taking the real thing, I realize the newness doesn't matter nearly as much as mastering the question types and practicing the time constraints. If anything, that feeling of "I already answered this one" is more realistic, not less.

  do 5 tests in a row without scoring, then blind review the 5 tests, then do a third blind review. that way you integrate spaced repetition into your prep. write up solutions to each question you get wrong and are unsure about noting the strategy for each question type, your specific mistake or why you were unsure, and noting each type of incorrect answer choice

  Thanks so much for sharing your experience Brittney, that was super helpful! I never would have thought of seeing familiar questions on LSAT. This way, I can spend more time mastering each question type instead of worrying about having enough fresh questions Thanks again for sharing and good luck!
