Congrats on the incredible score! I hope your applications and law school endeavors go well for you. That is my dream score.
For someone who is currently in the low 160s, what are your tips to getting out of the low 160s to high 160s?

I've noticed this as well. When I'm in that zone I go -0 to -2. Super hard to read slowly and deliberately though. Any tips to get in that zone? I've tried to force myself to read slowly, but even then I still end up doing the…

I'll be sure to try this! Something's gotta give for sure with me. I haven't been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, but I'm having a terrible time with focusing and comprehending.
Hi @StillHannah, yes I think the timing element get…

Thank you for sharing this. I also have ADHD and for the life of me cannot get past a -9, usually end up getting -12 on sections. it is very difficult for me to understand without re-reading over and over again and then I begi…
With weaken/strengthen questions, do some untimed or timed, to which you prefer, and focus on IDing conclusion, premise and the gap of the argument. Once identified, then you need to hone in on the gap/assumption in which the argument makes. Only on…

Focus on your weakest question types. I thought I was just "making silly mistakes", but for some reason focusing on question types is the thing that raised my score 10+ points.
I also second what gabes900 said about sticki…
Not getting something is okay. But, trying is important. Some people, including myself in the past, would not get something, get angry and then not address the problem properly or fully. This is where you don’t want to be if you want to improve sign…
I used to experience this a lot more than I do now. What you’re going through is, at least in my opinion, normal response to how much harder the LSAT is to what most people’s expectations are of the LSAT before they start studying.
I would try to j…
Update: Still foolproofing and noticed that it is very beneficial to foolproof sections when foolproofing games.
Example, If you foolproof a new LG section from one of the sections of the 1-35 PTs, and you get questions wrong on game 4, for example…

@gabes900 Same for you as well! I just took Nov but am anticipating an additional take sometime in 2022. Hbu?
@galactic shooting for anytime after March 2022 to take exam so March and June probably!

I quit my job recently to focus on studying for few months since i still live at home and dont need to pay rent, but if I study more than 5 hours a day I lose focus and get fatigued. Only study Mon-Fri so I dont…
@galactic said:
@gabes900 I do 2 hours AM and 2 hours PM. Any more than this and the zoning out effect @Darien022 mentioned begins to happen. Unless you're going near perfect in LG, I think drilling a game or two is always a great way to start…

I study about 3 hours a day as well. I work full time as a nanny and study for 1.5 hours while the baby sleeps in the afternoon and then another 1.5-2 hours between 5:30PM and 8PM. I've been on this study schedule for about 2…

First thing to note is there are actually 39 games (1-35, A-C, and F97). Also, on the first few takes of a particular test will likely take longer, even if one has already seen those questions. For someone middle-of-t…

Interested in hearing what others have to say as well.
For me, I'm still going through the CC and I tend to take my time with the concepts and practice questions so I usually aim to study 5 hrs a day mon-fri. Usually when…
In addition to my comment above, thinking of “staying in the critical mindset” during LR is almost like a defense against the test takers sometimes tripping you up easily, this is controlling for someone who has gone through the CC and has a solid u…
I agree with above. But, also, do you find yourself sloppy under timed conditions or nervous? This may be the problem. From experience, this has been a problem of mine sometimes where I deviate from the process and start focusing on answering the qu…
