I would say you are in great shape for a top school. Since you can't change your numbers now, I would focus on writing a bomb personal statement and securing solid LORs. Keep in mind that even if the numbers line up you can blow it with a bad person…

Is it important to make a distinction between them, if so why?
Yes. Mainly because you want to familiarize yourself with the subject and the way they are written.

That makes me think that you actually do have a decent understanding of the fundamentals
Really? I recall you saying that any score below 160 indicates a lack of understanding of the fundamentals.
@louis2014 said:
so am I not the only one who spends that much time?
Not at all. Some people will be faster than others but I know I have spent tons of time especially in RC. BR is the process of learning. It takes time. When I first started BRing…

Look, as a musician, I have learned a simple lesson. You can't play fast, until you learn how to play slow
Word! This is an amazing lesson to learn. I am a percussionist (music performance). What do you play?

@louis2014 Stop taking PTs! When you say you feel like you know the material you are clearly wrong. You dont know the material (at least as well as you think you do). You need to go back to the basics and camp out until you have them down. Go back …
@Yasinkhan107 i think this is fairly normal. Is this your first time BRing? How many PTs have you taken/BR? If you havent taken a lot then the gap will close over time. If you have then maybe you could brush up on some fundamentals before taking ano…
@LSATKingsman also read Jonathan Wang's "Mavis Beacon" post. He talks about how new/better techniques are worse in the short term but better in the long run.
@LSATKingsman said:
I have found that it really is taking me more time
This is most likely because you have not practiced this enough. The same thing happened to me when I first switched to POE but it is exponentially better in the long run.
@LSATKingsman I had a RC passage like this (out of the blue and really good) and it was not representative of how I normally perform. You dont have enough PTs under your belt to have a real indication of where you're at so I would take it as potenti…
@jimenezja.jj don't move on until you get it; however, if after awhile you are still struggling then move on but come back to it. BR method says to take as long as you need but sometimes you just need to take a break and come back to it later.
@"LSAT Determined" yeah take a long solid break but also remember that this test is the easiest part of becoming a lawyer...that may not sound helpful but you need to hear that. Maybe you could be happy doing something else? Maybe you just need a br…
@"LSAT Determined" I will take a stab at this and im sure others will correct if need be. The 1st makes the flaw of affirming the necessary condition which leads to zero conclusions. The second has a whole to part element and im not sure what is wro…
@alp7q 7sage is the shit. Bottomline you will find some of the best advice here. This forum is monitored and corrected (when needed) by the founders/instructors. Also, one can be nice and have great advice. They are not mutually exclusive. I haven't…
@markariangeorge pacifico covered you well but i will add something that nicole.hopkins advised me on. People who do this while working fulltime usually need more time (months) to prepare. It just works out that way with what pacifico said about not…
