Call for some “senior” input…

I am a 56 y/o (yes, I had to go back and count 😊), military retiree, working on my 3rd career and taking the LSAT. My vet friends would say, “padding the obituary” a bit.
There are many of you that are worried about your scores and how to increase. You are doing great! I would love to be where you are at that age, but life took other turns.
Take a deep breath, and land where you land. A great career awaits you on the other end.
If there are others out there that are coming in at a higher-than-average age, I’d like to know how you are coming along? I’m not going to lie, this is hard to sort through the “logic” and after a career of “bottom line up front” writing, I’m having a hard time figuring out what the questions are really asking.
Any input or words of encouragement are welcome.

    Hello, Mr. Allen. I'm only a recent grad but I appreciate your encouraging statement for us younger folks. If I may offer any advice for understanding the questions/test, it would be to buy the loophole by erin cassidy and do everything it says. I made a ton of flashcards with each component of the question/flaws she gave (which i think was mostly assigned as part of the homework, although I may have gone a bit more in depth than what was stated), but this led me to understand that each question has a certain ac it's looking for, keywords for identifying their type, backup plans, common flaws on questions etc. It's a completely different outlook for me from when I started. It minimizes any thinking process of what I need to do for each question because I can recognize the type of question from a couple of words in the question stem and can then know exactly what type of answer to hunt for. I would say learning these patterns really sped up my processes and in turn I average -3 LR with a lot of content left to study. I do believe that if you do everything the loophole says and then drill, then you will be able to obtain a good score. RC Hero is also probably the closest equivalent I have found for RC. Keep on keeping on and good luck with your test. Your obituary already sounds quite impressive but this will definitely be a boost lol
