I have seen huge increases in my LR score once I stopped looking at my watch to see how much time has passed when doing a timed section. I noticed I was unnecessarily looking at the watch every 2-5 minutes, which was slowing me down drastically. I n…

@akistotle said: Hi @jennybbbbb, My advice is: don't be greedy. When you're getting better, you aim for more points and you end up losing the questions you should be getting. So don't aim for more. I remember that you only need a sco…

@"Alex Divine" said: I mean, if it's the only time it's happened, by definition it is an outlier. Don't freak out, that's the worst thing you can do right now. You said yourself that you usually score 18 or 19 per section. What did y…

Here's my two cents: I like to watch my favourite tv show before I start a PT. This honestly helps me distract myself from the anxiety and it's safe to say, it has actually worked for me! I also started to work out more often and take breaks where…

Thanks for the post! I definitely feel a bit less anxious now knowing I am not alone. February test here we come! Good luck!

How will I sleep tonight...

@Christina-5 I found this on a different discussion: https://quizlet.com/142715075/lsat-lr-strategies-by-question-type-flash-cards/ These potential strategies might help when approaching different question types, I personally find it really helpful…

@"Alex Divine" said: I would recommend making sure you have a solid and consistent approach to RC. Develop your own notation style if you use one. Then I would practice doing timed RC passages (maybe 1-2 per day) and then BR them immediat…

@"Habeas Porpoise" said: No problem! I recommend you drill the PTs you've already done for practice, starting from the oldest one. Retake the RC section timed, then do the outline for BR. If you can record yourself that would be great, si…

If you are just starting out, I would flash card question stems, valid/invalid argument forms, conditional logic indicators, quantifiers, flaw types... I found this on a discussion post a while back: https://quizlet.com/LetsHigh5/folders/lsat-info-…

@"Habeas Porpoise" said: If you saw a drastic change in the 60s and 70s, is it possibly the comparative passages that are throwing you off? Most of us approach them differently than we do the other passages. I use J.Y.'s method where I rea…

I took 2 days off when I was scoring lower than I previously was. I wasn't completing 4-6 PT's a week but I also felt the burnout since I have been studying 40+ hours a week. Today, I did a LG and a LR section and my score reflected what I had been …
-
I call burnout! Honestly, the same happened to me so I took off two days because I was freaking out so much that any studying that I was doing was pretty pointless. I was going -11 on LR... before it was -6. Let's see what happens tomorrow and hope…
-
Definitely time, but I would try to get myself used to diagramming and drawing key inferences as well!
-
I have been dreaming about the LSAT too. Losing my mind... but I think it's normal.

@BillGreenpoint said: Hi, Jenny. So, this may sound basic and like it won't help. But, two things helped me. The first helped me immediately. And I figure if it can help someone else, then cool. The first and most important thing I did wa…

I would say maximum twice... If I don't understand it the second time around, I know I would be wasting time that can be better spent analyzing a different question. I would pick an answer choice, circle it and move on. If I have time at the end of …

I would focus on logic games to get to a 150. It's the easiest section to improve on given your timeline.

What are you scoring right now timed/BR and what is your target score? Timed sections and 1-2 PTs a week along with BR of course! I am doing the same right now. I am testing out different timing strategies for the next 3 days and then will move on…
-
It happens to me all the time. That is why I can't seem to get better when I am doing timed sections. What I have tried to do is literally enunciate words as I through each question. I have noticed that this really impacts my score on a section. If …

Parallel Flaw/Reasoning questions might be easier to understand if you recognized the pattern/flaw in the stimulus. I find it harder to do these questions mechanically and try to just read it and understand the stimulus/reasoning. For flaw questions…
