@danielbrowning208 said: But timing in RC is more passage-based and thus, in my opinion, more similar to LG with respect to timing. 100% You never know how long a passage should take and you want to spend enough time on the passages that r…

I think momentum is key in RC. Instead of a skipping strategy and trying to accomplish timing goals, keep up the momentum and catch yourself when you have to return to the passage to answer a question. If you film yourself on RC you can use timestam…

Congratulations on your PT scores! I think you will feel comfortable with the materials as you take more PTs and do more BR. During the actual PT you need to maintain momentum and there are going to be some questions you only have a fuzzy understand…

I am willing to help you get a good idea of the type of work you need to do to reach your goal. Tutoring isn't for everyone. There are many great tutors on this site and elsewhere, but if you want some free help before you decide if you need to hire…

Can't wait for more content. Very excited! Thank you

Whatever schedule you decide should prioritize quality studying over quantity. That being said, try to do LG every day. Get into a routine where you do a full section of LG every day, and BR the other sections/redo games you are struggling with in t…

Yes keep doing blind review. Every time you miss a question timed or during BR is another opportunity to hone in on why, which will help you continue improving. Also, I thought BR was one of the best confidence boosters for me in the week leading up…

@kmdfleming seems like you’re making the right decision. Both sleeping on it and leaning towards the cancel if you don’t think you were ready.
-
Just keep practicing. Do all your drills/sections timed, and focus on good timing/skipping, but before you score the section you should spend a couple of hours blind reviewing. Write out explanations for your thought process and label the premises a…

What helped me get over the last hurdle was blind review calls. You can go super in depth on your own and still not see something that someone else sees in an incorrect answer choice. Also, explaining your reasoning to someone else really tests your…

Have you been scoring near what you want to score on your practice tests? If you’re in the ballpark definitely keep your score. I’m assuming you’re applying to a Canadian school since US schools do not average scores.
-
Review and drills are less intensive than a full PT schedule and will keep you sharp. If you don’t study at all you might get anxious. I just suggest easing up a bit.
-
The question you referred to is a bit more descriptive, so I can see how you may have had a lapse in concentration or weren't connecting with the answer choices for some reason. When that happens it is best to circle and move on. Come back with fres…

Take the week to recharge and if you take a PT, only take one! Spend some time doing drills and focusing on good timing. Blind review thoroughly. Do a couple of games each day as a warmup. You will probably perform better if you are sharp but rested…
-
The key is to keep an open mind. If you aren't ready for the January test, the upside is that you can keep studying and improving. You aren't being unrealistic thinking that score jump is possible, but you need to be prepared to keep moving forward …

Also, you can move onto a new PT when you feel you’ve addressed some of the weak areas in your game and you expect your timed score performance to improve. I went from trying to do 3 PTs per week to doing 1 per week and saw much better results. If y…

Drill first. Before you score the blind review, make sure you write out explanations for LR/RC answers. Reflect on what went well and what didn’t, both timed and untimed. For any missed question write down why you missed it, whether it was because …

D is wrong because it is inaccurate. The argument doesn’t presume all reworked music is always published on the internet. If D was changed to say that it overlooks the possibility that reworks could be published in a non-internet medium (like a CD)…

Congrats!!!

I think it is wise to continue practicing, but at a more relaxed pace. Focus on review and timing, and in the week before the actual test cut back a lot. Make sure to stay hydrated and get lots of sleep starting now.
-
Last week just do some LG and light drills. Mostly focus on eating well, sleeping well, staying hydrated, and light exercise. Go into test day fresh and rested!
-
I promise after returning to a particular game after a month of doing 100 other games you won’t remember the questions. You may remember the best way to setup the game board, but I think it becomes more of an intuitive reaction to the games you see—…
-
LR seems to be your biggest weakness right now from the latest PTs. Keep doing LG every day and try to do 2-3 RC passages of RC at least every other day (with blind review). Spend the rest of your time doing LR and review each question (even the one…

Some schools are incredibly quick to make decisions, and others wait to release decisions. You can get a sense of the decision dates for specific schools on mylsn

Agreed. Took all 3 tests at UA and the proctors were great.

Congrats! This community is special because of people like you who carry on and advance the mission of giving back to the students still on their LSAT journey. Best of luck with admissions!
