When running into this issue, sometimes less is more. I would start with consistently focusing on 1 quality hour a day and then build from there. I typically do an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Weekends I will take a test and …

Sounds like you are probably in your head about it. You do not magically forget the skill, but instead are probably focusing on the wrong things. When I get in this funk, I go back to the basics of slowing down and making sure I understand the arg…

I would tell my parents to take a hike. This test is too important to rush. Taking it when you are not prepared is idiotic. I would know! I took it twice while not prepared and magically did not score in the range I wanted to. Took it for the t…

Afternoon! You should not be thinking about this in terms of catching up! You should move on to new sections of studying once you feel like you have grasped the material. Moving on for the sake of following a schedule is counter productive to you…

Greetings, You are probably in your head about it. RC is one that can have huge fluctuations in general as sometimes we just simply get a passage that does not make sense to us. I would NOT do a PT at all. I would do untimed studying to erase the…

I would say do not be so beholden to the time constraint. It is more important to make sure you understand the material as opposed too sticking to some rigid hours studied goal.
-
Yes that is a great idea! If you can go perfect for the first three with more time and guess the final passage, you can potentially get that to -5/-7

Typically you will see easier questions in the beginning and the harder ones the last 10-15 questions for LR. Sometimes they will throw a 5 star question around number 8-10 in LR, and have seen harder games for LG and passages for RC in the beginni…

I would just drill logic games. You should be able to foolproof a good portion of the newer ones. With your limited timeframe, I would not do any games on tests earlier than 35. Those have a different flavor.

Greetings Y'all! You are not going to want to hear this, but you need to expand out your timeline on studying. I started at 141 2 years ago and it took me 18 months to get to 157 official. Now I am finally up to the high 160's after 24 months of …
-
If you are taking prior to August, I would suggest getting LG down and sprinkle in some LR work so you do not forget what you learned.
-
I usually take 4 min set up per passage maybe longer. I would rather have a full understanding of the passage and go through the questions with confidence and greater speed.
-
In the same boat as you @icandoit-3-1! 141 to a high of 171! Averaging 168 on the last 10 prep tests. Feels so good! You all can do it! Keep working!
-
What area are you struggling with the most?
-
Nope, they only look at your highest. They might care a bit if you score high, then really low and apply with the low score as your most recent score.
-
Are you getting more wrong towards the end? Beginning? Something that worked for me was focus on getting 10/10 for the first ten regardless of time, then move to 15/15, then 20/20. I would guess the rest I didn't have time for. Now I am averagin…

I took it in person and liked it a lot more than taking it at home. We had desks that had high side walls so I was not distracted at all.
-
What worked for me is just doing a ton of them. Also, I noticed that a lot of the times I was picking answers that were way too strong given what was said in the passage.
-
Good Morning, You are probably putting too much weight on yourself for the PT's. Try to focus on each question as opposed to getting a score. One thing that worked for me was focusing on timed sections and limiting PT's to once a month.
-
Which section is giving you the most issues? Also, do you tend to get more questions wrong in the beginning, middle, end of sections?
-
Drill drill drill drill! I picked up my biggest score jumps when I stopped taking so many tests and just drilled my weak points. Figure out your weak points and attack those. Ideally you should only sign up for the lsat once you are consistently …
-
Once you get into the high 160's it is really hard to make that final jump. I would make sure stamina is not an issue. As taking sections over a few days and adding them for a score does give you ballpark, there is something to be said about doing…
-
141-147. Took 18 months and am now in the upper 160's consistently.
-
Drill drill drill! Core curriculum is a good overview, but if you do not understand the argument being made or not made in LR, the core curriculum will not save you. If you take the lsat again before they get rid of LG, I would do only LG for a mo…
-
Greetings, it is hard to tell. I try not to focus too much on game categories as it causes me to stop thinking critically about what the rules are telling me to do. Everything you need is in the rules. Try not to get psyched out about potentially…
-
Do not anticipate your first game! If you do this and do not get the first game you are hoping for, it will put you in a weird headspace. I used to do this hoping I would not get RC first! When I would it totally destroyed my confidence for the t…
-
Totally possible. Do watch out for the plateau as mentioned. I was stuck in the upper 150's for months. Took two weeks off and came back scoring consistently in the upper 160's and even touching low 170's a few times.
-
Greetings! If you are going 8/17 consistently then their is a fundamental issue with your understanding of the section. I would focus on the first 10 and not move on until you constantly get 10/10 on those. Something that helped me was to focus l…
-
Also note that dropping to a 163/164 is still within your range. You could have simply had some harder RC sections. When I see a drop I will take a day or two off to clear my head. I agree with everyone that the BR process can sometimes be counte…
