How to Rewrite?

Hey guys so I used 7sage here to help me reach my goal of 163 on June LSAT with 4 weeks of studying. I crammed the LSAT in that time, crunching PT 50-71 and doing the entire course with Power LR/RC bible. With that being said I under performed on this LSAT to my PTs, going -14 on RC. Any advice on how to prepare for a September retake? Anything under 170 really won't help me very much either.

    A huge difference between your PT score and your test day score can be a result of not refining your test day strategies (e.g. not doing enough practice under test-like conditions.) Do you think it would be helpful for you to go over the RC videos on 7sage again? There's also Manhattan LSAT, which has a new RC book that came out and may be helpful. And JY has recommended this book before, but the LSAT Trainer seems to have a pretty good RC section/overview. They have sample chapters on their website that give a pretty good idea of what is included in the book. Here are two chapters from the book that may help you! Good luck!

    I have heard really good things about the Manhattan RC book, as well as the LSAT trainer those were both materials I have thought about looking into so I'm glad to hear someone bring them up again. I do believe it was primarily timing, just got nervous on test day and felt the pressure on RC more then the other sections.

    In that case, I would really recommend looking at the second link I included in the last comment - that chapter specifically talks about timing issues for RC. Also, just make sure not to get caught up with the learning phase (i.e. reading test prep books/watching videos) - I think the Trainer should be more than enough to help you with your timing issues and general problems with RC. And you can always take a look at the Manhattan book after if you find that you still have issues.
