Burn out is real, I studied on and off for a year and I whenever the signs of burnout came I would immediately stop studying for a few days. It does wonders and you will feel so much better
-
I just started mine. I just chose a personal story that means a lot to me. For example, I am writing about a 1st amendment discrimination issue involving my group on campus and how I helped resolve it, how it influenced me to want to be a lawyer, et…

Just did it. LG-RC--LR. I found games easy only one trickier one. RC was average with one tough passage. LR was pretty average, I flagged around 6 questions in the back half. Having LG be easy was a good confidence boast def one of my better tests.

Sept 2019 Games section (nasty ass game game section, hope ya like flowers). Sept 2016 (one super hard Misc game). June 2009 (Let the mauve dinosaurs haunt you).
-
honestly, I had this problem too. What helped was asking myself why am I freezing? I answer "Well I'm scared I am going to not finish and get them all wrong" It's this flight or fight instinct that you have to overcome and the best way is to keep do…

Sleep, eat well, read a book, Watch a TV show, play video games, swim, exercise. Literally do anything that you find relaxing and enjoyable. You want to enter the test well rested and happy. Studying for the LSAT will make you unhappy. So don't stud…
-
Short answer is no. Long answer is I generally find LR and RC from the earlier ones a little easier but games harder while the new tests tend to have standard games/LR but more challenging RC
-
Do Flex, its less draining, its what you're doing on test day. But make this one your last one before August.
-
Depends on your time frame. If you have time, do it as the CC says. If you want to maximize your study time do Flaws, Str, Wk, NA, SA, MSS because those are the most common.
-
Yes it is very achievable. Last year I took the Sept 2019 Test (the one with the nasty game section). At that point I had 7 weeks of studying total under my belt and my top score was a 158. Despite getting -11 on games I still pulled off a 160. Anyt…

Yea, this really applies to all sections and was really helpful in saving time. If you read a stimulus in an LR section and just do not understand it, skip it. If see a question in LG that you know you gotta brute force it which takes time, skip it.…
-
Sounds like a timing thing. One thing that helped me a break into the mid 160s was skipping questions. I found myself actually completing sections in time when I started skipping super long hard timing consuming questions and getting the easier ones…

If hes not lazy, its not him. If it is him, hes lazy
-
Id focus on just high priority questions, do sets of question types you struggle with, focus on flaw, SA,NA, Wk, Str type questions cause those show up the most.
-
PT 74 I got 167 on recently w flex. Games were a little tricky. I did PT88 for real last year (got 160), avoid it but I recommend doing the games from it, you can learn a lot
-
What is above is true however if you happen to get wait listed, a score increase can help you get off the wait list.
-
In out games are pretty common, I would say highly likely you could see one.
-
I'm taking August but also down to BR some LR with people. Currently high 160s BR in the 170s.
-
I mean sounds like you got time and as long as money isn't an issue in retaking I would try in Oct. you would be surprised how much you can increase in that amount of time. I took the test three times already and next week will be my last, I don't r…
-
The way I improved significantly on the hard questions was I just made sets of the hard questions, did them timed, bombed them, and then spent a lot of time on blind review. Often times the hard ones are hard either bc a) the stimulus is super convo…
-
It depends. If you are going for as much practice as possible, there is no harm in doing 4. You are never going to have to do 4 sections back to back cause there a break in the regular test after 3 sections. I'm taking August Flex and just do three …
-
I'm taking August but I'm always down help.
-
Yea its possible to get 168. You may start to realize you need to increase your study amount as you go along. Everyone learns different and there is no perfect way to do it. I did RC LG and LR at the same time with Monday taking a PT and blind revie…
-
I recommend you just redo the game section, RC section, and LR section(s) separately on different days, blind review them, then review again. See if anything changed and if your reasoning for the answers changed. I've had this happen recently with P…
-
Spend a day reviewing the PT, go through every single question without the explanation and see if you can come up with the answer on your own. Reread all the passages and just do it till you understand. Then take a couple days off of the LSAT and re…

Taking August. Interested, bored as hell studying alone
-
I mean worst case you don't score as well and lost $200 and still end up in a good law school with a 164. Best case you do better and get more money. I see no harm in going for it unless you are absolutely against it. Given your current PTs you coul…
