Really needing some guidance

ZaTablerZaTabler Alum Member
in General 513 karma

I've finished the CC and have taken a few exams averaging 155. I BR in the mid 160's. I'm stuck at a plateau. I need some guidance on some hardcore prep for scoring at least a 160 on the sept LSAT. Currently making flash cards to review some core concepts and starting to practice reading comp. (Yeah, haven't given it much attention).

Logic games: averaging -5 (simple mistakes that are currently being fixed)

Logical reasoning: averaging -8 currently hung up on flaw and parallel method of reasoning questions)

Reading comp: 90% of my problem is time. -3 on BR

QUESTIONS:
What are your post CC techniques or tips?

What's the best way to really break through a 155 plateau?

Best course of action to really destroy Reading comp?

    If you are averaging -5 on LG, you should foolproof LG Bundle until you can always go -1 to -0

    I recommend this method (Logic Games Attack Strategy):

    Agreed 100% Fool proof -- get that LG down to -0. These games aren't hard. They just take time to master and get used to.

    Do I need the Ultimate + for the foolproof bundles?

    Yes. It's basically a set of all the logic games in PT1-35. So if you already have materials, you don't have to upgrade.

    Is it worth spending another $200 for PT 1-35 logic games? I have 42-71.

    Thanks!! @akistotle

    I would say it's worth it. You will get more LR problem sets when you upgrade. I also think you need to drill hard LR problem sets in order to get used to those.

    If you still have certain concepts that you don't fully understand, you need to go back to lessons. The first step is to increase your BR score as close to 180 as possible. Your PT score is likely to be around -10 from your BR score if you are not getting a 180 BR score. So if you want at least 160, BR above 170!

    Good luck :)

    As you may know, the old "weird" games are making a comeback on the recent LSAT. And if you try to get these materials from Amazon, you have to spend at least $499 (10 Actual, Official Out-of-Print LSAT PrepTests: Official LSAT Prep... https://www.amazon.com/dp/1456387049/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdo_gEkCzb1VMRC01 ).

    Agreed. And not to mention you have the power to re-print them as needed. Fool proofing the older games has never been more important! As @akistotle said, there have been new iterations of old games returning in the last few years. I believe someone claimed that a couple of the games were replicas of games from the teens; the only thing changed were the names/numbers. Diagram ended up being identical.... So without a question worth the upgrade. Not to mention what else you'll get :)
