The test is ideally scaled so that 150 is median. I think that lsac is constantly caught unawares though. They test the questions a few years in advance and people get a certain number right. A couple years later, people have learned to study more s…

@2RARE2CARE OMG that's a buttload of study. Slow down. 3 hours a day is too much. I'd say aim for continuing with a weaker schedule. It sounds to me like you're doing more than a full test a day. Aim to do an average of 2 sections a day. Maybe 3 f…

@sami.adhik What sections are you missing the most questions on? LG are easy to move quickly, so if you're getting more than say -3 on that section, cram LG. It's not a huge time commitment to learn (just do one section a day and watch an hour of …

@lsat_321 I don't think that people every fall back in RC or LR. AS long as you do some work, it seems to stick, at least for me. In fact, I did not study at all between June and getting my score about 5 weeks later (or whatever it was). First tes…
-
@lsat_321 Pretty low. Occasionally I'd do an individual section, but mostly I didn't even review the tests that I took that much. I guess I spent roughly 5 hours on tests per week (factoring in finishing sections early, roughly 2 hours/test and half…

I'm going to guess here. I never watched the lesson, so I'm not sure about the example, but I think it might be this: I think that JY might be saying that if the relationship is: You MUST have magic shoes IN ORDER to go faster then If you do NO…
-
@What_To_Do: I had a very similar situation. Your problem is quite possibly burnout, based on your level of preparation. I believe very strongly that once you have gotten good, the only section that you can get worse in is LG, and that that comes…

@fatemeh_f I agree with @Pacifico And LR is hard to improve in. It takes a lot of time, especially with no background. You have to learn both the logic and the reading style (if you ask me, the LSAT is as much a reading test as a logic test). Your…

@enzonabiev D is correct because of the contrapositive. No laws -> No crimes, therefore some crimes->some laws. In case you don't know contrapositive, the relationship is that a->b and not b-> not a are logically equivalent. The rea…

@"LSAT Determined" : Here's my brief explanation: a) Who cares about maximum energy efficiency and who cares about all at once? Not mentioned in the question. Only "major improvements" are mentioned. b) Not relevant at all. Supports if anything c)…

@Pacifico : good point. Never considered that. I also don't believe in a drilling phase. @diana1493: Glad to help!!

They are giving a counterexample to the government's claim in D. The government says that since GLOBAL atmospheric ozone levels remained constant, the ozone layer over the Arctic must be fine. The counterexample is that the ozone layer over the Arct…

I don't think that there's a hardest test, but I think the sections are variable. RC is definitely hardest in the mid-60's. I think it's got brutal after comparative was introduced and was toned down a bit in PT 67+ or so. LR is easy and concrete i…
-
@fib099 Over the course of my study I did roughly 130 PT's and definitely did reuse. I did the 60's tests 3 times, the 50's tests twice (some three), the 30's twice, and a couple random tests (I think numbers 43 and 46 or so) also twice. Everythin…
-
@lsat_321 I overcame this in three ways: 1) I had been trying to read more intensely earlier anyway, just to improve my comprehension after a year out of grad school. I think this helped at least prime me, as did my intensive study of LR, which I…
-
@diana1493: I never did a single 5-section preptest in my entire study (except for the first two official tests, of course). I honestly think it's a waste of time. I feel like the exhaustion that people feel after a long test is indicative only of …
-
I would suggest the following: 1) Totally agree with @Hibiscus and @"GSU Hopeful" that LG is first priority. Definitely get it as good as you can, but don't be complacent after that. I think that LG is the only section on the test where you are at …
-
@fib099 @LSATKingsman This is only based on my experience, so don't take it as gospel. However,I don't think that there is any reason to assume you will score lower on the actual test than practice tests. In fact, I don't know if I am unusually c…
-
@harleywferguson: I think that your best bet right now is to slow down a bit. You might be approaching burnout. No one ever really loses skill in the LSAT (except in the LG section) by not studying for a while, so I think you are definitely at the …
-
@GordonBombay: Agree with @c.janson35 Only think I would add: don't get complacent. My personal experience is this: I never ever remember LR when I retake. I might remember an important inference in a LG, especially if it is an unusual game (buse…
-
@gina123456: I would suggest doing lots and lots of tests. The more the merrier. However, I would also suggest putting off your admission for a year and taking next June. I underperformed when I applied after the February test, and ended up also wa…
-
@lpadr009: I think 20 is good, but try not to kill yourself. I substantially underperformed on the June test after taking too many tests. If you are going to do that many, weight them towards the beginning of the study period. Only do like 2 tests o…
-
I applied after the February test last year. I think that I significantly underperformed. My consultant suggests getting in scores before Thanksgiving. Personally, if February is the first time you can reasonably take the test, I would suggest pushi…

@motbenjamin: 73/101. Just got my score! See conversion table here: http://postimg.org/image/qyh6vkmff/

Incidentally, the hardest thing for me when doing every preptest was to keep up my logic game skills. I actually felt them getting rusty because I was doing every test so mechanically. I did some preparation in the week before October just to clear …
-
@jordan.marty99: Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I didn't blow June out of the water. I had been PT'ing around 176 prior to June, but due to total and complete burnout I got only 170 on that test. However, here's what I learned: I had already done …

165 Feb -> 170 June -> 178 Oct!

@logicfiend I missed the not both rule. Which now that I am aware of it, the game solves so easily.I doubt I got the acceptable situation question right, and I'm sure I missed the second question (I had two other items together that shouldn't have…
-
@logicfiend: Whew. Ok. At least it's not too many. Maybe still met my score goal. Please encourage me and tell me that you have also had an experience in the past (as happened to me on preptest 74) where you missed a rule on a game and only got one…

Anybody remember how many questions were in this game? I just learned that I missed a rule (
