@"Matt Sorr" Awesome response. I pretty much agreed with every single point you made. Just became a bit concerned because I was starting to see many more posts of people advising against 3-section tests on other sites. Will definitely be taking more…

I would definitely address that. GPA addendums are for the most part ways to explain why you received bad grades. Maybe you were diagnosed with something, a family member passed away, you took time off from school, you were working a job or more, et…

Replying to second @sucralosedaddy. It honestly depends on a lot. For example, you might be able to perfect LG and even -0 LR. But RC is a skill you build throughout your life and you might not be able to improve on by much. However, I won’t sit her…

Thank you all for your input! It has all been very helpful and insightful. Thanks!

If you scored a 164 during BR then it’s definitely a time issue. You need to work on time management in order to close the gap between those two numbers. A 164 means you clearly know what you’re doing in terms of fundamentals and and how to solve th…

Hey! A 25-point increase is quite the jump. That being said, it isn't impossible. Especially if you can perfect your LG. That's definitely the section I'd start studying first as it's the easiest to improve and will help you see the biggest score ju…

I would say the 5 most recent tests are a good indicator of your overall "average". There's a good chance there might be some variation over 10 PTs, for example, so really the latest five might be more accurate. However, I think it's worth consideri…
-
You'll definitely improve over time. I'm sure many of us ran out of time on our first-ever PT or had to guess on many questions in order to finish on time. I wouldn't worry. Continue doing drills and PTs and you'll be solid after enough practice.
-
Honestly, it doesn’t need to be explained. It can be if you want it to but I would use the PS to let the school know more about who you are and what makes you unique. Schools don’t generally care if you were pre-med or an engineering major and decid…

@ELPISTOLERO9 Thank you! I ended up going in by retaking a PT as sort of like a diagnostic test and scored a 159 (good score for me!). Higher than my real LSAT score, surprisingly. Granted it was PT69. Not sure if that’s known to be an easier P…

Waiting to get me score tomorrow. I either did similar to my PTs or abysmal. I’d be more comfortable if not for that RC sadly.

These questions seem easy but are actually not. These questions are usually the most difficult ones out of any given LG due to how subtle they are in appearing as easy but actually aren’t. They are, by design, time sink questions meant to waste your…
-
Thank you all for your input! I think I’ll definitely do some studying tomorrow but maybe just not too much. I think wasting my time all day tomorrow would just feel unwise and add to my anxiety. Might also throw in an easy LG before the test on Fri…

Funny enough I also took PT89 as my last PT before the real exam yesterday and dropped by around 6 points from where I had been scoring. At this point, it feels like a mix of burnout plus the stress of knowing the real exam is right there. I went ov…

Taking the LSAT Friday as well. Planning on taking my final PT Tuesday too! Gonna do some LG maybe LR drills on Wednesday and review the PT I took on Tuesday. Not gonna do anything at all on Thursday. Maybe a single LG but absolutely nothing more un…

@loganmaddoxmay said: So would you recommend against pairing the 7sage curriculum with the Bibles? I wouldn’t recommend against it, per say, I think the bibles can be a great assets. However, they should at most be supplemental in your study…
-
Hey! I found that what helped for me was to just find one resource and stick to it. If you’re using the LSAT Trainer, 7Sage, Powerscore, The Loophole in LR, etc etc you’re bound to feel lost. All of these LSAT study programs have different approache…
-
@"Cant Get Right" This was a great response and I’m very appreciative of it. Some very good points!
-
I mean the clear answer imo would be the 7Sage CC. However, I know the $70 a month can be a good bit for a lot of people so I would also recommend Ellen Cassidy’s “The Loophole in LR” which is around $35 on Amazon and a solid asset to understand pre…
-
Literally same. -0 through like -3 on drills then -6 through -8 on PTs due to nerves and misreading rules etc. Following 🥲
-
This happens to me as well. I find that what helps me is to close your eyes before doing a PT and just take deep breaths and remind yourself that you’re in control. You’re taking the test. The test is not taking you. Remind yourself that you’re in c…

@ericliutexas said: Thank you, ClaudioD21! I just took the cold test, and received 151... I did very poorly on LG. It's a disappointing score. How can I improve and make a realistic plan? A 151 is actually a really good starting point! I wou…

There isn’t really a set “diagnostic” test. Most people take the June 2007 PT as sort of a diagnostic and it’s a good way to gage where you stand. It’s also one of the few, if not the only, free PT offered by the LSAC. It’s the one I’d recommend tak…
-
I would say it depends on the frequency of your PTs. If you’re doing a PT like daily or every other day then maybe 3 sections would be better just so you have enough time to BR and fully understand everything you got wrong. If you’re doing maybe onl…

@smoothbrain said: Hey there, I am also doing the October test. My idea is that Im gonna PT pretty much every other day until the test. Day before Im just gonna do a big self care day lol (like yoga, eat well, relax, and go to sleep early). My…

@smoothbrain said: 3 weeks still is quite a bit of time to work on LG considering LG is the easiest place to make quick gains - my advice to you would be to drill LG every day that you're not doing a full PT. Like straight up drill like 3 to 5…

@Gerald__ said: Similar but different. I managed to increase the score I am scoring now by focusing on games. I can't seem to increase the rest. I’m taking it October so I feel like I should be focusing all my energies on LG if I want a chan…
