Bombed RC. Had it 4th and literally blacked out. If I got -15 I'll be happy...that bad. Also blacked out on the first LR but bounced back with I believe near perfect 26 question LR and LG.
Beads and gold was a strengthen except question right? And …
@"Cant Get Right"
Ive seen a jump at the beginning but just lately I see the dropoff.
Since finishing the CC I've just been doing PTs and drilling games at times.
@jkatz1488
How long of a break do you recommend? That's another problem I have. I never know when to stop and take a break. I work myself to the bone. Now that you say that, part of my regression is probably exhausted. I haven't had the same energy…

I sympathize with your plight, but it seems to me that there might be a "patience" issue here. You have posted several times in the past few weeks about your RC struggles, and from the continued frustration, it appears to me th…
@"Cant Get Right"
I don't annotate very much at all so I didn't really love Nicole's method. I've tried so many of these methods that my score has actually gone down in RC. The problem is that it was -8 before...so I don't want to go back to that. …
@jkatz1488 LSAT 01....throwback.
It appears that you and I got different prephases. I prephased that they disagree about whether or not owners have the wright to destroy artwork ONLY because they own it. That's what the second person is refuting.

@ifty2nd
HLS takes a much larger class so if you are above both 75ths, you are about as close to a lock as possible because there simply aren't that many people in the world who have a 175+ LSAT.
YLS accepts a class about 1/3 the size of that of H…

Have you memorized all of the main types of flaws? Your trouble with NA and Flaw questions suggests to me that maybe you're reading WITH the argument as opposed to reading to pick it apart. Let me expound...
When I read the st…
Hahahahha! This is hilarious. I think we've all been there. Of course, yours are after having taken the test but it's all relative.
While I was starting to do new game types i.e. double layer sequencing or more often those crazy, most difficult of …
@jkatz1488
I don't know how I found this. I think I just saw it while I was in my "I want to keep studying but my brain is fried for the day" mode. I always surf the 7sage boards at that time haha
Yeah, I agree. It can be kind of messed up to 'learn as you go' in crim law given what's on the line. I'm also not sure about exactly which type of crim law I want to be. I mean, a good LSAT score could easily have me at a V100 doing white collar...…
I agree with everything that you've all said. There are some serious risks involved, it's undeniable. Another fear I have is that working for someone else I won't get the opportunity to get the kinds of cases that will give me a strong reputation, a…
It's certainly possible. The difference between a 158 and a 162 is about 5 questions. If I were you, I'd focus on getting that score to a 165. If you have the intelligence to get yourself in with the State Senate on any level, you can get very, very…
@Sami
That's exactly right. The subtleties in the answer choices are what hurt me because, unlike LR, there are many more subtleties to track and remember. I did RC for PT 29 today and got -6 but I wasn't timed. Again, the subtleties hurt me. I wil…
@Sami
Okay . Today I did PT 58. I apologize, when I posted this morning I was so rattled that I wasn't even thinking. To be honest, there are A LOT of issues when it comes to RC. I tend to do very well on passage 1, maybe -1 or so. The other two pa…
@Sami
So, I definitely lied because I did a timed section today and -11. I can't believe this and frankly I'm just aggravated with this. I dominate LR and LG and get knocked out with RC. At this moment I just don't know how to read to answer the qu…
Looks like you've gotten some really good advice above so I'll try not to repeat. I've noticed with flaw questions in particular that the flaw can sometimes be 'concealed'. I mean, sometimes you'll read something and it seems totally fine and then y…
@Sami @danielznelson @"Alex Divine"
Hey friends,
So, today is a much better day. I took your advice and slowed down a lot, made the necessary connections as I actively read and it helped A TON! I did an untimed section...maybe PT 55? I'm not posit…

@tams2018 If that's your goal, I would master conditionality to the point you can do it in your sleep and learn to detect causality with ease. Those were the two most important aspects for me to imp…
Thank you very much for the feedback everyone! @Sami I will definitely try to slow down a bit and take the passage in bite size pieces...then with each paragraph, I will connect and see how it works with the other paragraphs of the passage. It is a …

Hey all,
So I just took PT 53 and scored a 169. Hoooray, right? Not quite. I scored a -1 in LG, -2 between both LR sections and a -9 in RC. Yes, a -9!!!!!!!
I don't know exact…
@LSATcantwin said:
Are you me?! I have this exact same issue. LR sits around -3 a section, LG is typically -1 and then RC....-8! every time! I am interested to see what answers you get here.
Lol I guess so but I'm very rattled about it. Game…

Hi there,
I run into the same problem with RC. It's always, ten times out of ten, my worst section by far on my PT's. That said, lately, my RC scores have been improving (from -14/-15 range to -7/-9 range). Still not the…
@danielznelson said:
I'd argue that for (at least) most, 2 minutes spent in actually reading the passage is too short of time. I myself usually go about 3:30 and others go even a bit higher than that.
It seems like you know what to do, you …
Hey gang,
Just out of curiosity, how long does it take a section that was issued as experimental to be used as a scored section? The things I think about...
Hahaha I've done this before. I bubble each question one by one for LR and each game/passage in the other sections.
When I make a bubbling error it's because I've rushed..I.e. The clock has gotten into my head. Remember, you are in charge, not the …
Follow the advice above but maybe you could pretend that the argument is your own...if you do that...read the answer choices and whichever one makes me second guess what you've said, there's your answer. Seems like a weird strategy but sometimes we …
