First PT LSAT score of 146. Blind Review 167. Why the large discrepancy?

RM112015

Hello, as the discussion title states, I am wondering why there is such a big difference. I have been studying for about 5 weeks and finally took my first PT (the June 2007) and scored 146. After Blind Reviewing, I managed to score a 167. Can someone please help me explain why there's such a big difference and what I can do to actually score my Blind Review score in future PT's I take? Thanks!

When you learn to adapt to the pressure of time, and begin to eliminate bad answer choices rather than select them, you will see your score increase dramatically. I took two "bad" PTs before I achieve a mid-160s score. But even scoring in the upper 160's, I don't think I'll ever achieve my B/R score in the upper 170s. Some of the "curve-breaker" questions take me 4-5 minutes and several attempts to figure out, I just don't have that time during the actual exam. That's where the discrepancy is: efficiency. Eventually, you will learn how to be more efficient, and your score will reflect that. Good luck! :-)
