Check out Manhattan LSAT LR/ Powerscore LR, or The LSAT Trainer if the second time around isn't working for you. I mean, did you do it in earnest, take notes, and do the corresponding drills? Rushing through the first time can hurt us even going t…

If your diagnostic was a 152 and you can BR a 176, I'd bet money you can hit the 162 mark in two months. Focus on LG and LR. Fool proof, go through the CC, and drill and do tons of timed sections. Don't worry about trying to fit in a ton of full tim…

@tringo335 said: Oh snap!!! I collect these books even though I have 1-75 on PDF and all the rest of the 10 actuals on Hard copy. I just like collecting these damn things. I need to stop wasting money though, haha. It is cool that it is fina…

@navilsat said: @jackigoe I didn't even know there was a webinar for post-cc! That sounds very neat and I will certainly watch it. Thank you for your advice! Definitely a much watch. @"Cant Get Right"'s philosophy for how to deal with the di…

@jackigoe said: @navilsat said: Hey everyone, I have finished the CC and decided to do a PT from the 40s to see if I have made progress. I got one point above my diagnostic, a 152, and got 176 on BR. During the ti…

@jennybbbbb said: @navilsat @"Alex Divine" @uhinberg Thank you for your advice!! I have done a diagnostic and have scored a 148. I am aiming for September since I know that a lot of law schools accept on a rolling basis. Will I be at a…

Great discussion though!

Hmm.... Yes and no. There's no like Good Will Hunting moment where you solve the equation and all the sudden master finite math. However, there are definitely times when your practice reaches a point where you're like "BOOM" and certain things click…

@nathanieljschwartz said: @"Alex Divine" hey so im currently not sure if i am taking September or December yet . I know my fundementals are solid bc i am BRing in the mid to upper 170s. Up until now i have neglected thepower of timed sections.…

@Harrison_Pav said: I don't think erasing is terrible, but it certainly should be used selectively. If I make a whole game board and have filled it out accidentally write the last game piece in as B instead of A, I may go back and erase it rea…
-
do you, homie. I just was always taught from instructors, books, JY, and tutors, that erasing is something you shouldn't be doing. Again, what if you end up needing a diagram you erased? It also is a waste of time, and the paper the real LSAT comes …

@goingfor99th said: I erase/erased often. It depends on the diagram, imo. You really shouldn't be erasing a lot on games, especially not on a timed section test. It's just not worth the time and usually looks sloppy. You may also very well e…

I think he just does that in the videos because he is doing it on the screen. In real life, never erase, just cross out mistakes. Unless you absolutely are forced to. Or if you make a mistake on the answer sheet.

@"Cant Get Right" said: Not a dumb question at all. I was very hesitant for a long time on this because I thought it sounded kinda dumb. I think Michael and Alex covered the specific benefits pretty well. More broadly though, it's something th…

@"vanessa fisher" said: @"Alex Divine" Totally agree with you on this. I actually think this was one of my mistakes in the beginning. I was obsessed with doing full time tests and improving at least a point each time and it took a while to…

Very odd to say the least. I think it could be a number of the theories mentioned above. Then again, some people just perform better under pressure. I still think there is another explanation. Are your BR scores lower than your actual timed exams? …
