Yeah, I've got to agree with previous comments. You can improve your score from 154 to 173, or you can test in two months. It's not going to be both, so you're going to have to pick one. I recommend the improved score!

I always like to have a specific goal with each drill I do, so think about what specifically you're addressing. Exposure will happen no matter what else you're working on, so don't let that be your sole purpose. If your fundamentals are solid, pacin…

Track your "stupid" mistakes closely. Turns out these are usually not so stupid, but rather are very deliberately set by the test writers. They only have so much in their bag of tricks though, and if you can learn to recognize them, they start becom…

A guy I went to school with wrote a book on heuristics which, for the first time, really made me think about how my brain works to trick me, lol. It's a really fun read, and I actually found it quite helpful. I employed a lot of study tactics based …

Great advice already. I specifically second advice on needing to go -0 on LG, and to develop high level, aggressive pacing strategies for LR. A 175 is essentially a perfect test with a margin of error. You can miss maybe 1 LG question every 2 or 3 …
-
Hey @dfletch5 , I think the others covered it pretty well, and all I can really do is reinforce their points. It is hard to do LG stuff because normally all anyone can do is kind of strive to match JY. He really kind of nails it, and there's not qui…

I dunno. The new leadership has moved shockingly fast to implement a lot of highly consequential changes. Going digital is a sensitive process that has to be approached carefully and over time. I think the steps taken so far are perfectly consistent…
-
One broad level issue I've consistently found with my students is that most of us tend to do a very bad job of recognizing the underlying reasons for our errors. I think that's one of the most essential fundamentals of studying that is most neglecte…

It definitely focuses on post CC strategies, but it wouldn't hurt for sure, and I could see how it could help put the CC into a bit of context. If you're still in the CC, just work that through sequentially. You've got arguably the greatest LSAT ed…
-
That's a tough range to improve from. I'm typically pretty content with -3 on RC, so if you can figure out how to score consistently better, let me know! That said, I do think having a specific strategy is beneficial in any section. What strategy w…

I've got a webinar on structuring studies in the PT phase that I'm partial to: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ I talk a lot about these strategies throughout the forums, so I'm sure there's multiple more c…

Here it is clear and the syntax is just a little wonky. We do have to be more concerned with the meaning of the statement. What does it mean to say that "I only work on Tuesday?" Conditionally, it could only mean: If it's Tuesday, I must work or …

The guilt free aspect of taking breaks is really important actually. Nothing will burn you out faster than feeling guilty about not studying every moment you're not studying. You simply can't do this 24 hours a day 7 days a week. So when you're not …

The struggle is real @jkatz1488 .

@LSATcantwin said: So I tired this and did the 100% confidence thing. I ended the section with 5min to spare. I went back to review and ensured I MISSED AN EXTRA 2 QUESTIONS. lol Haha, yeah, that's the stress test function. It means you…

I don't think they'll drop that on us without good notice. Until they say otherwise, I expect paper to continue to be an option.

Just came across my favorite thread of all time. I suppose that with LSAT going digital, this thread will soon begin the long sink. But not yet!
-
On my second LSAT, I actually went down a point from my first score after making substantial improvements on my PTs. That was an awful feeling so I know what you're dealing with. I actually quit altogether. Took me a couple months before I recommitt…
-
Yeah, it seems crazy at first. I was right where you were, finishing (most of the time) with maybe only a minute or two to spare. The first element of speed is knowing your shit. Your BR performance suggests you've got that. The higher level timing …
-
This sounds like timing and confidence to me. After my first time through an LR section, I'm frequently at -4/-5. The difference is, I've got 10 minutes left at that point. When I go back, I usually correct pretty much everything. If you're getting …
-
Nice! Congrats on the good news, good luck on your apps, and have fun traveling the world!
-
@fmihalic2 Yeah, that can be frustrating. It sounds like you're expending too much energy on the details. The whole point of RC is to throw more information at us than we can retain and then see what we can make of it. If you're actively trying to …
-
I don't think there is any particular advantage to taking every test. It definitely hurts you if you need a retake. It's far better to take fewer tests in depth than all of them without much studying or reflection in between. Focus on maxing out how…

I really like certain aspects of Nicole's approach and really dislike one key element. I like having standardized notations. I've always been a heavy notator, but my notations were always random and arbitrary. Using consistently meaningful notations…
-
That's an interesting point @Mitchell-1 . I've long thought that would be a much better way to go. It would prevent quite a bit of anxiety. Maybe that's the plan? We'll know soon.
-
Certainly some of the earlier sequencing games are objectively easier, but beyond that I really don't think there is a significant difference in difficulty on most elements of the test. There are some differences that need to be adjusted to in later…

There's different ideas about this, so there's not necessarily a definitive answer. I think "just to see" is a really bad reason to burn your most valuable PT no matter what your philosophy on PT ordering though. The two most common approaches are …
