This is totally normal. Often there are hard questions between Qs 10 and 20. Look, there are going to be hard questions in the exam. There are going to be easy questions. That's how it has to work to create a score distribution. Don't let an arbitr…

I see where you're coming from but have two thoughts. First, it's not unreasonable to see a slight drop in scores as you change your strategy. Familiarizing and perfecting that strategy may have a higher ceiling than your previous strategy, however…

I do a circle for questions that I skip or feel very unconfident with my answer, a circle with a dash in the middle for questions that I feel medium/low confidence for, and only a dash for questions I am pretty sure I got right but would like to dou…

Congrats! Keep up the good work.

Great response by @SA135790 . For me, it was a combination of working through various levels of abstraction and then familiarizing the way the LSAT writes their answers. So at first, I could point out only very obvious/general gaps in the reasoning…

That is a massive swing. How do you feel during the test? Have you ever recorded yourself taking sections? What is your blind review score? If you are BRing consistently in the upper 170s but your timed tests are fluctuating that much, then you rea…

I think you've pretty much nailed the analysis of the question. When I went through it I also wasn't entirely clear on those three gases being the only components of the atmosphere, but as soon as the answer popped up, I realized that must be the ca…

I would just get back to fool proofing. I bet it will come back quickly. LG really is just all about volume and repetition. I wouldn't be worried about it. If you start doing a couple games a day (or more) I bet you'll be fine.
-
I think the intention of that step is to create the most complete game set up you can. I think, in practice, you just do the entire game over again, including the questions, but you really try to squeeze out inferences and think deeply about the ga…

Keep drilling LG until you go -0 on almost every test. Volume is the way to go there. It's great that you are getting a high BR score. Try to set your sights on a 180 BR every time. A gap of 14 points is pretty big. Inconsistency from section to s…

Depends on when you are taking the test and your ideal cycle to apply to school. If you aren't in a rush, then keep drilling and maybe only do a PT every 3-4 weeks. If you keep pushing LG, you should be able to go -0 almost every time. LR drilling …

Entirely agree with everything @"Alex Divine" has said. Untimed practice is great and necessary, sure, but just taking untimed tests repeatedly is not the way to maximize your score.

I'm going to be on vacation the next 2 Sundays. You kids have fun and I'll see you in a few weeks.
-
Congratulations. 7sage is the best.
-
I would retake. If you take in September, you will still be able to apply early to schools. Especially if LG is your weakness, you've got 10 weeks to foolproof as much as you can. That's enough time to substantially improve LG.
-
I thin that's a fine way of looking at it. Once you insert the correct answer for an SA question into the stimulus, the conclusion must be true. I suppose you could think similarly for a strengthen/MSS type deal, although occasionally strengthen qu…

Hello, So since March my 5 PT rolling average has risen from 171 to 177. I have a few insights from my own personal experience that might help. The first is just the standard drill the heck out of everything. I've invested so many hours into drill…

I really like what @"vanessa fisher" said about mindfulness. For me personally, I saw a big jump in my scores over the past month that was at least partially a result of confidence. It's a bit of a chicken and the egg situation, but my confidence a…

Rather than relying exclusively on word indicators, I am constantly relating the sentences to one another. I think about the relevancy of the previous sentence to the current sentence and vice versa. This helps me to build the structure of the trick…
-
Great advice from @jkatz1488. Have you memorized the 4 groups of logical indicators? Seeing those and immediately recognizing what they mean must become second nature to you. It's all about repetition after that. Translate everything you find.
-
How did it feel during the test? Did you feel pressured and rushed? I think you will probably see a 2-3 point increase as you get used to taking a timed test over the next few tests. You will not see a massive jump from this alone, but given the pa…
-
I fully agree with @LSATcantwin . It does not matter that they are retakes. There is still value in doing the correct processes of solving an LSAT problem. Just jump in. Fool proof games, fool proof RC, drill LR. Save a few fresh tests for August. …

I agree with the above posters. I actually live in Colorado. While there are definitely successful lawyers who went to DU, it's current costs and employment prospects should give you caution. That being said, if you know people in Colorado who cou…

@Freddy_D said: It's not about getting the correct answer, instead, it has helped me to understand the questions on a deeper level. I often notice something that I previously missed during my initial take and this makes the questions, and qu…
-
It took me about 3-4 weeks to see noticeable gains, 5-7 weeks to really get big improvement, and 9-12 weeks to consistently start scoring -0 to -2 on real timed LG sections. That was with doing several hours of LG six days a week. Keep plugging al…
-
Like @daniel.sieradzki said, I think the best thing to do is to split up an actual test for your experimental, so that eventually it becomes its own actual graded test.
-
I am in a similar boat as you. I've primarily focused on LG and LR, and now it's time to turn my attention to RC. I really like what @goingfor99th said. Accuracy begets speed. That's true for every section. My plan is to go through 2-4 passages a …

@Gladiator_2017 Thanks for all the great info. Can you share the image of the spreadsheet or just generally describe it?

Thanks! Really glad to be a part of this community.
