Hey! I was in the same position as you. I followed this method (https://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=224488), and I get a 174 on an off day. Just got a 180 right before my August test. So I def would recommend!

Have you tried slowing down during your actual timed run? An approach that Mike Kim recommends is going slow enough to thoroughly eliminate any of the "loser" answers (i.e., answers that you can easily show are wrong) and then coming back to confirm…

What are your problem areas?

@"lipkin.15" thank you!!

@"Quick Silver" said: Hi there, I love teaching reading comp - one major tip is focus on question types. I'm amazed at how few courses have question types for RC. And if they do, they often don't emphasize mastering them. Think about…

Hey! Kind of in the same boat, and I PM'd a few people on here that had scored 177+. I heard from many people that they had seen score variations before the actual test. So I wouldn't worry too much about it.

@Deepika7 said: I spend more time on the passage but sometimes do spend a little extra time waffling between answer choices. My last PT I finished the section with about 2 minutes to spare but I had a lot of flagged questions--and ultimately e…

Do you know where you're spending the majority of your time? Are you taking longer on passages, or on the questions themselves?

Hey! I would say focus on the 70s and 80s, because they're the most recent and they have some unique elements/difficulties that you won't see in the earlier tests. I would also be familiar with the 60s, because I think some of the Flex exams they ad…

This blog post has a detailed description of how to get the most out of your RC review! http://www.thelsattrainer.com/lsat-reading-comprehension.html

Yes! There are. I think something like 90% of recent games are sequencing/grouping, but there are misc. games that can really throw you if you're not ready.

The biologist says "If the forest continues to disappear at its present pace, the koala will approach extinction." This diagrams to Forest Disappears --> Koala Extinction. The politician says "So all that is needed to save the koala is to stop d…

I not only BR every question I found challenging/missed on a PT, but I also type out explanations for each question. I gather these explanations from 3-4 different websites. Then, I print out my explanations and review them every day for a week, tak…

Yes, I also struggle with these! I think the things that help me the most are: Move from wrong to right. Find answers that are totally unsupported/actively refuted by the text, and eliminate them immediately. Stick to "provable" language. Strong …

Hey! About a month ago I instituted a system wherein I started typing up "post PT reviews." For each of the questions that I missed or marked as difficult in a PT, I would write down why I found it challenging and why I missed it or why I avoided mi…

Messaged!

Someone posted a step-by-step guide on the forum about this about a week ago. I can't find the exact post, but if you find it it might help answer your question!
-
This is a great reminder to keep pushing, even when you get good at the games. Thank you!
-
Totally agree with both of the posts above. I would also say: make it a habit to come back to the questions that you missed over and over again so you really can make insights about the questions you're missing. You should be looking to understand n…

Hey! I usually do a section of another test before I start my actual test. Then I use that PT over the course of four tests. At the end of the fourth test, you have an additional PT complete! Let me know if that makes sense.
-
I haven't been in your position re: retakes, but I once saw a good post on the Top Law Schools forum about this. The general advice of the post seemed to be: really dig deep into your stats (i.e., the 7Sage analytics page), and hone in on what your …

Hey guys! I started a groupme: https://groupme.com/join_group/60578308/0P28eEp4

I would be down to start a group! Does anyone have an idea of how to go about that?
-
Definitely interested!
-
Congratulations!!! That's so inspiring. If you have a second, would you mind going into a little bit of detail about your study strategy/what your improvement trajectory looked like?
-
Are you going through the CC?
-
Congrats! When you get a second, can you go into a little more detail re: the RC drills you did? Did you just read the passage and only do the question types you were having trouble with? I'm in a similar position with regard to RC (i.e., I usually …

Interested! Prepping for August.
