My January LSAT 2021 experience reflected a similar sense of panic. I went into this exam thinking that I mastered the LG section (overconfidence). So when I made silly mistakes on G2 and had no idea what G4 game board was, I tried my best to skip a…

This resonates with my personal experience in life that led to the decision to go into law school. I'm currently working with resources from my university, and the thing that they continue to emphasize about the personal statement is that it's NOT a…

As a chemistry Ph.D., I certainly understand what you are going through. For a while, art and law passages on the RC felt impossible. The best way that I found to acclimatize myself to these different topics and concepts were reading old art and la…

@Christopherr and @"Quick Silver" are awesome tutors.

In general, you can use your old PTs to practice certain skills prior to a new PT. For example, I would take a new PT under timed conditions and then realize that I need to work on NA question types on LR, art passages on RC, and grouping games on L…

My routine for a timed PT starts the day before as follows: Day before Mindfulness Workout No coffee after 1:00 p.m. Don’t read books Don’t consume alcohol Sleep at 9:00 p.m. sharp Day of Wake up at 5:30 a.m. Mindfulness Coffee Workout …

For me, the January 2021 LSAT was an emotional roller coaster. Afterward, I was so glad that it was over. I couldn't stand looking at the LSAT in the following week, so I gave myself that week to recharge and recover. I came back the following week …

This reminds me of when I was doing untimed sections. In the beginning, my fundamentals weren't good enough for me to bother worrying about over/under confidence. My initial goal was to start easing into the sections by allowing myself as much time …

I certainly also get these temptations to "see" my timed score prior to BR. But I think that NOT knowing your timed score is an important factor when going in to BR. For example, if I already know my timed score and it is high, maybe I'll be more p…

@OfStephie said: Hey FAtC. I am interested in joining. My last 4 PTs (67-70) are in the lower 160s, so a little under yours. If you think it'll be helpful to us both I can be there for BR of the two sections. How do you think it'll "work"? Tha…

@Melissa4202 said: What does the acronym "BR: stand for? Blind review.

Hey leahilee08, I think that depends on several factors. How involved was the PhD student in the curriculum? Were they in full charge of the course or were they more like teaching assistants? The latter is when they lead discussion classes after th…

@CardsnHogz said: Side questions Cuz curious: I read somewhere that circular reasoning answer choices are almost always wrong. I have no dog in this fight and I'lll check to make sure even if it is. I just wonder why they went with this one to…

Echoing the same problems on my end as well.

Looking forward to it!

Hey there, I've been in the same boat for a few months now (slowly been improving from mid to high 160s). Depending on your goals in the LSAT, a mid- to high- 160 is a great place to be in order to ultimately break into the 170s. At this point, we …

@99thPercentileOrDieTryin said: I prefer the low-res method. I neither annotate nor highlight; I simply memorize the very basic info by summarizing at the end of each paragraph. Then, at the end of the passage, I silently recap all of it and s…

Hi there, I had the same, if not similar, questions as you a few weeks back. The answer seems to depend on why you are getting those wrong. What is it about the questions that you got wrong that stumped you? In other words, how did the passage/quest…

@"The Judges" said: i went from writing a couple words on a piece of paper to digital highlighting. I went form a range of -6-8 to -3-5 so I assume that using a faster strategy would also benefit you so you can look over some flagged questions…

Hey! Just wanted to thank you for a nice post. I wanted to ask you a few questions regarding this: 4) doing half a section of timed LR sections daily, from sections I have already done (odd questions one day then even questions the next) helped…

Instead of spending time trying to organize which of the 10 questions you circled to go back to and in what order, I'll suggest that just slowing down in the first place and taking an extra 30 seconds on each of those 10 questions would have done…

Thank you very much!

Thanks guys!

@"Cant Get Right" said: Confidence drills sound productive, so for sure do that. Question type drills seem to be missing the point. Were any of your errors a result of misunderstanding the question? Doesn’t sound like it. Why did you miss…

Just finished BR'ing the June 2007 LSAT. Timed score = 160 and BR score = 170. BR score would have been 174 had I not screwed up the BR for LG section. Not sure why that happened... I need to bring the BR score much higher. But at least the timed sc…

I recommend a few things. I'm someone who needs to sleep 8 to 9 hours, and I wake up at 5 a.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m. on weekends. A) Don't try to fix your problems by throwing money at your problems (alarm gimmicks and etc). Build discipline by d…
