After a google search of "LSAT burnout"... I think some of us may be victims.
Does anyone feel that taking a complete day off would be beneficial between tests?
I read th…
@CJ,
I am also losing blood due to RC in the 60's.... It's killing me slowly.
I didn't have any trouble with LR until the most recent test that I've taken 63. I did really well on 60-62 (170,174, 170), but 63 left me in the fetal position. Comi…
I just took 60 : -4/-4 on LR, -0 on games, and a sad -8 on RC.
I'm battling that damn RC!
I've definitely noticed a difference in all of the sections from the 40-60.
I think the games operate on a more abstract level. I feel you just have to b…
The percentiles are based on the scores of the experimental sections of the previously administered LSAT. E.G PT 60 includes sections that those sitting for Test 59 took as experimental sections. So, if the test is "more" difficult, it would have a…
JY, thanks for this! Though I wish it were available later so I could use it post LSAT.
K, your comment made me laugh because I had the same experience with TLS .
They aren't kind to potential splitters, such as, you and me ( I have a similar gp…
On section 3, I got 1-19 correct and then missed 20-23. lol
On section 1, I missed 4 within the first 13 questions and then got the rest correct.
Again, just stupid errors it seems... always... especially on section 1. I missed 1 within the first …
A friend told me he saw improvements with every 10 PT's. It took him around 10 to get from the 150's to the 160's, and around 10 more to get from the 160's, to the 170's.
That's my religion. lol if not, I'm going to panic. I'm in the 160's after 6 …
Intense blind review is the only way really. We need to become more familiar with the different questions so we can speed through them as we recognize patterns. I personally use the Manhattan LSAT forum when I feel a video explanation is lacking- it…
I'm in the same situation you are. As of the last 3 tests, I'm consistently getting around -5 for each LR. I feel that with additional tests we will improve. It's just slow. I've seen the trend from the beginning of my testing, it's just slow. If …
Yes, for all we know, it's probably intentional.
E.g. I once had a professor who had an entire test with the same answer choice just to mess with our heads- it actually worked as most of us switched our answers. lol
It's a slow progression.
When I did the LR curriculum, rather than timing the entire section at the recommended time (15 minutes if I remember correctly), I would set a timer for each question at 1:30. After awhile of doing that, you basically pro…
Yes, but If you must drill, I recommend doing it in addition to full length test. On your off days or something.
I apologize to 7sage for mentioning outside curriculum, but I think Manhattan sells bundles of specific questions types if you are ne…
Start PT's ASAP.
You can capitalize on the great scoring method the website provides.
Upon grading you can view the diagnostics, which show you the question types you are missing and in what percentages.
So once you start taking PT's you can d…
I think it's subjective. Certain tests contain more or less of a given type of passage, LG, or LR passage.
If you get a test that has more LR or LG types that you aren't as strong on, then you may suffer as a result.
That's my opinion. I was unde…

How many PT's ? That is subjective to the test taker. There is no single answer to your question. Start taking PT's ... If you average your 3 most recent PT's it will give you a pretty accurate prediction of your actual LSAT score. So, only your …
You're going through PT's too quickly. Slow down and do more thorough reviews. I would say 2 per week tops. You don't learn anything taking tests-- it's simply a display of your work. You learn in reviewing your answers and then reworking them until…
I have the same goal in mind. It is possible. It is simply a matter of how hard and long you are willing to work. I know a guy who studied for 1 year before taking the LSAT -he scored a 180. Obviously his regiment was one of austerity, and he became…
Even if there were a complete and definitive answer to this question, which there is not, I’m not sure how one would benefit from such a list.
“Freebies” are easy questions, and that is subjective to the individual test taker. So, any question typ…
@CJ
Great analogy. I was a personal trainer in college, and most people have that "supplement" mentality.
I would tell them, there are no short cuts, and no easy roads - if you want success, it's simple. It takes hard work (and there are no substi…
I'm going to throw some Bruce Lee inspiration your way.
“If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay…
@Amir ,
I also panicked at 6am today. Asking myself questions like, "did I get scammed?", "were they using LSAT materials without paying LSAC royalties?", "What the hell do I do now?" etc, etc. Hahaha, I'm glad it's back.
@lozanojoseph,
Apparen…
I know my question, if there is one, is vague. That's the thing, I don't remember biconditionals being explained in the lessons. Granted, I've only completed 60% of the lessons, so they may be covered in one of the games sections. So, what I listed…
