@TheMikey said: @"Alex Divine" said: I think they are great practice and very similar in structure, but I have noticed that some of the newer games are more rule driven and don't give us a very detailed diagram like some of the…

@LSATcantwin --- I think you're going to do great on the test, brother. You've been putting in tons of solid work and have improved a ton! As far as LR, I think that's where you're finally going to break into the 170s. I truly, truly cannot expres…

Happy LSAT anniversary! Doing anything cool to celebrate?

@uhinberg said: Aside from the miscellaneous game that abound in earlier preptests, which of the earlier games are not representative of what LSAC is likely to throw at us? Granted, some of the rules are a bit different (e.g. conditional rules…

I think being a morning person or not is somewhat genetic, at least from what I've read. I suppose you can try the normal advice of going to bed earlier and waking up earlier, but who knows if that will work. I just think eventually you'll get used …

@Sarah_39 Hey Sarah, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling a bit unmotivated right now. I truly think you may just need to take a few days off from LSAT prep because I think you're likely burned out. Give yourself permission to maybe do something else…

I honestly don't think that kind of jump will be possible within the next month. I would highly recommend postponing to December. I think the best strategy is taking timed tests, timed sections, and blind review.

@"vanessa fisher" said: This may just be me, so take it for what it is worth, but I think changing the LG foolproof bundle to include all LG games from 60s and 70s would be perhaps more useful that games from 20s and 30s. I mean they are ALL g…

One thing you can do to help re-set your internal clock is to take a practice section with a stop watch counting up. Push the pace but don't rush like you have been. This will hopefully help you try to get back to a pace you are comfortable with.
-
I'm going to go ahead and cast my vote for postponing. I truly believe that if you give yourself the extra time, a 160 will be so doable that you may want to aim for a 165+ Also, I have no doubt you can raise your score to a 160 by the September te…

@"l.givilanczktv" said: So i just did my first cold diagnostic, and got a 145.... exact numbers are -9 on LG (very rushed but answered all), -17 on 1 LR (Took my time and answered B just to fill in the last 8 questions and missed them all), -1…

Something that really helped me fundamentally was making notecards with how to approach every question type. I tried to write as little as possible to keep it simple and made sure I truly understood what my priorities should be when approaching each…

@SiliconJedi said: @"Alex Divine" - Haha, thanks! (It's a reference to Silicon Valley, where I'm based Is there an advantage to alternating between lower-numbered PTs and PTs in the 30s range (e.g. PT 1 and 35, PT 2 and 34, etc.)? Would …
-
Awesome to hear! I remember the first time I went -0 on a LG section was after taking a weekend off from all prep.
-
Yeah, some of those older tests can be hard to find. I think another option may be looking at Amazon for Powerscore or MLSAT's workbooks/drill by type books. I think I had come across one that had games from PTs 1-40 or something along those lines.

@ZaTabler said: I've been reading the passage all the way through and coming up with a summary for each paragraph. The problem is I can't remember a damn thing from the passage and have to refer back to it constantly. I'm eliminating 3 answer …

I would begin at PT1 and worked my way up. You will encounter the games that JY teaches again as you go through the LG bundle. Also, I love your name btw!

@ZaTabler said: I've been really hitting RC hard. I'm averaging -4 all other sections, but RC I've been doing worse and worse the more I practice. I got a 10 out of 27 on PT 72. and a 14 out of 27 on PT 63. I'm not sure what Im d…

I've known people who swear by starting from the last question for similar reasons. According to them this strategy worked quite well for them. My honest opinion on the matter is that any positive effect is probably somewhat in people's minds. Then …

Part of me has felt ready forever and then there's a part of me who will probably never feel "ready." Although I've since graduated and now work, I studied for a couple other big tests while in college, and my only advice is to just build time into …

@Aidoe said: Bruce is the Procter we need but don't deserve. Bruce is TCR. However, when I use JY I feel more calm like he is there like Obi Wan guiding Luke.

I think @Sami is the master of high vs. low resolution summaries when it comes to RC!

If you went from scoring a 170 to sitting down and feeling like you can't understand anything, that sounds like burnout to me. Definitely follow @LSATcantwin 's detailed advice above and take a bit of a break. Sometimes I find that a a full Saturday…

@"Dillon A. Wright" said: Is there a rule against carpenter pencils on the LSAT? Not to my knowledge. How badass would it be to show up with some flat carpenter pencils?

@uhinberg said: Like it or not, our writing utensils are one of the only things regarding LSAT that we have complete control over. We tend to take comfort in such things. Hence, the obsession. This may explain a lot of it!
