Your tiredness comes from hyperfocus (hypervigilance). You have to be better in the test—especially in RC. The hyperfocus comes from not understanding what your goals are while you are reading. The secret is to get to know what to focus on. First, y…

It has to do with my school. I’m sure the other schools are different. Simulation of the study. The most important classes (Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Legal Writing and Research, Legislation & Regulation, Pro…

They are "must be true questions". Negate each answer choice. The facts in the correct answer choice always repeat the conclusion or premise.

There is inconsistency across sections. In Logical Reasoning (LR), scores vary from -1 to -3 at times; they drop to -6 at other times. Reading Comprehension (RC) consistently scores around -4. You also experience occasional timing issues that lead t…

It's common for people to see fluctuations, especially when learning new methods. When you start studying, you might overthink or second-guess yourself, leading to a temporary drop. Maybe the Foundations gave a slight boost, but as you began the LR …

I was in the same situation. I never could finish one out of 4 games on my official test. I ended up going to school with 168. However, since you no longer have logic games, if you decide to retake the test, I can share my approach to Reading Compre…

Please don’t hesitate to ask for help as you did here. I recommend meeting with a few people who understand the test to review a passage or two together. Try to internalize their way of thinking.

That's a good point. The same applies to law school. I proposed to my ex during my 1L and attended her graduation, but she secretly had a week-long romance with another man. I discovered this just three days before my finals during 2L. Even the proc…

I am sure RC is not as hard to improve in your situation as it seems. To get from -18 to -9 is double in a couple of months. I can help you with RC for free. Please don't hesitate to PM me to meet via Zoom

Cancel for sure. Don't waste an attempt.

Get a good webcam (for example Onn. Webcam with Ring Light-3 LED levels, Autofocus, Up to 1440p Resolution, $30) So the proctor can see at the same time you and your desk, and most of the room

90%. You need to be as humble as possible. Including the way you write application materials, communicate with schools, and something about your previous life that shows that you understand hardship.
-
Just reverse-engineer 5-6 passages from RC. Anything that takes you away from PTs is the wrong direction.

Too ambitious? Roughly a year of studying. Not at all! Too ambitious is when people have a month of studying and want 170+. PM me, and I'll explain how to deal with MP questions.
-
As with any book, studying using Loophole is better than not studying at all. But if you would reverse-engineer 15 LR questions on your own instead, it would be much better and faster.
-
In your situation (LG -2 and LR -3), you should be able to get - 2 on RC or better. So focus on RC and change the method. Read slower and often pause and summarize. When finished, tell yourself the passage's main point, conclusion, primary purpose, …
-
The fastest cure would be a simple one. Take a section of LR and deep review it. It would take 2-3 days. But if you do proper analysis of the arguments you will get -2 or better and that's where your success with LR is going to be unavoidable.

Congratulations!

@HarimKim said: @Constantine I just came across this post. I also really need improvements in my RC scores to reach my target score. Would it be possible for me to get tutoring as well? I can have only one pro-bono student at a time.

@LSAT_Athlete We kept this discussion civil btw. Why do you call me arrogant? I don't even know you. Why are you labeling me? Are you going to be a lawyer?
-
The requirement will be optional (for schools). So a school can keep it. As of today, 50% of the schools said they going to keep the LSAT, 5% want to abolish it and 45% will make a decision later.
