Except for HYS, no, probably not.
-
Just like @TheMikey said, it should be essentially no different.
-
Unless you contact the schools, most will see the pending LSAT administration and not consider your application until that score is recorded. You would probably have to ask the school to go ahead and process your application with the 172. For Yale,…

Haven't taken that PT yet, but I think you should view it as "most" from a logical diagramming perspective. From a more general perspective, its somewhere between most and all.
-
@"Paul Caint" said: Would have gotten a perfect score on that section otherwise But is that true? If you had spent more time on that question and less on another, would you certainly get the other correct? This goes back to what @"Cant Get …

So I think brute forcing isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you are fast at it then you can get there. The key to these questions is your initial set up and your ability to see the underlying pressure points in the game. If you've got a great set up…
-
I add a section from a similar date PT. That means that every 4 PTs I take, I get an additional PT complete. I think it's the most realistic way to go about it and it also allows you to complete more PTs.
-
I think improving from 159 to 170 in less than three weeks is unrealistic. It takes a couple weeks to really internalize any new information. You should strongly consider delaying your test.
-
Depends. If your BR score is in the 176-180 range, and you really feel confident in your knowledge of the test, then NOT reading all the answers might improve your timed score. If you are already quite good on the test, then your time is probably b…
-
Most everything insightful has already been said. I think 2 PTs per WEEK is about the max you should be doing.
-
I think it depends on how frequently you're testing. 5 PTs might be 8 weeks worth of tests for some, and only 2 weeks for others. I think the past 4-6 weeks or the past 5-10 tests is a good measure. Anywhere in there is a decent bandwidth. Average…
-
Agree with above. Section difficulty varies. Single day performance varies. At the very high end of scores, you're talking about 1-2 questions either way. That's entirely within the margin of error.
-
Start fool proofing games. Work on the foundations of the test, like the truly deep underlying foundations of logic and critical readings/analysis. Do that for 6-10 weeks and see where you're at. My only bit of advice is to make sure you take at l…
-
I think this is a bad strategy. There are usually easy and hard questions in every passage. I average just under -2 for RC, and it's not uncommon for me to get a hard question wrong on an easy passage. I think the better strategy is to make sure y…
-
I think it's pretty average. From a raw score perspective, I scored in the upper third of my range. From a scaled perspective, only a point above average. Honestly, I have not come across a test that I felt was way easier than any other. It's more …
-
The advice from @"Alex Divine" is pretty much the exact advice I would give. Get to BR 180 every time. Make LG -0 through foolproofing. Film self for LR.
-
No way have you come close to your ceiling. You just started in June? And you're only using the LSAT Trainer? A lot of people study for YEARS and keep improving. Sure, progress is non-linear, but I am certain you can get way better. How much you ca…
-
@jtrevethan said: because I try to maximize the # of questions I get on easier passages. All passages have easy and hard questions. I think if you're spending too much time on an "easy" passage then you're going to miss the easy questions on…
-
It's probably not possible to go 175+ by September, except for with a good bit of luck, given where you are now. I'm not sure if you should postpone. You might improve enough and get lucky and score in the mid-low 170s, and that could be worth it. …
-
Agree with above posters. 1-35 is to develop the fundamentals. Once you do a timed PT, you can always fool proof thereafter. Don't burn the material though.
-
This is widely reported by people here on 7sage. I've also experienced it.
-
If true in the question stimulus means you should assume the truth of the answers regardless of what outside information you know. Hypothetically, let's say the stimulus was like "Todd claims you can walk to the end of the earth and fall off into s…
-
I agree that momentum and confidence are big. Maybe try doing the first 5 questions first to build that and then jump to your supposed weakness? Regardless, the philosophy of skipping is that you don't spend too much time on any one question. That …
-
For LR, go as deep into the fundamentals as you can. Mastering the concepts is the only way to a consistently great LR score. From an execution standpoint, learn to skip. There is a webinar from 7Sage about skipping. For LG, you need to just do mas…
-
I would not say it was a significantly harder test than others. I think it was probably your mental state/rest/food. etc.
-
Yes, one is for each section of the test.
-
I think it would be useful, but make sure to go with quality over quantity. When I drill RC, I write a one line summary of each paragraph, the main point, purpose, tone, viewpoints, and structure. I literally write those all out. Those are the thi…
-
Variation is simply going to happen. I think it's an admirable goal to strive for consistency, but it's unavoidable to have some variation. Before I give some reasons, I think with a score between 157-163, your best approach is to improve on the fu…

As an Ultimate+ member, I would just read RC passages from 1-35. Going through them in detail and reading for the right things (structure, purpose, tone, etc), is the best way to prep.
