It seems like you'll mostly want to focus on RC while boosting LR a bit more. In that case I think you're good with Starter or Premium, to be honest. The RC curriculum is clear and concise, and will give you the foundation + reading strategies you n…
I realize this may not help much, but instead of starring questions I recommend flagging questions. You can access all flagged questions as a filter in the Question Bank, unlike with starred content (as far as I know).
I usually only star lessons …
Welcome!
Based on where you're scoring, you'd probably be good with the Starter or Premium just for the knowledge from the core-curriculum (CC). You can always purchase additional tests as add-ons, and improve strategy following the advice from the…
@keets993 Stress free for sure, but sometimes I don't know what to do with all this time I now magically have--still trying to readjust 😂 Wait, did you apply this last cycle? So starting law school?
Diagnostic: 147 (I'd seen some of the games and questions before though)
Goal Score: 170+
Time: It took me a bit over two years to hit my official 174, though I wasn't studying all that time and took months off. In terms of just months, it was abo…

Can someone please explain to me what drilling and foolproofing strategies are? I noticed they are mentioned quite a bit on discussion boards
Thank you.

I think -3 without time to go back is pretty solid! But I do agree it's valuable to have time at the end of the section. There are a few different drills I did that helped me with speed:
I used PTs 1-35 and drilled 10 in 10 (10 questions in 10 min…
It depends on the game for me. I'm with you and @MissChanandler, I usually go in order. But if there's a game that's challenging from the get-go (few inferences, not many boards/open-ended), I'll skip around, leaving some tougher global questions un…

And his comparison to the reading done by Supreme Court clerks is just unwarranted, imo. The goal of RC on the test isn't to tease out details of convoluted or intricate arguments. It's to understand clear, …

@conor_93, I agree with you but it is probably because I do not get logic games. I did read that when law students read cases they use an acronym IRAQ (Issue, Rule, Analysis & Conclusion). Bearing that in mind I …
It took me over two years (and four takes!) to get to a 174! And to be honest the process is overwhelming, and it is difficult! But you can power through it and come out stronger. Like @"Best.Yet.2.Come" said, you have to treat yourself well, and th…

What an amazing improvement! Can you share some studying tips? it's very hard to break the plateau
Hey, Thanks!
Of course! There's a lot so I'll probably be more helpful if you have specific questions
For plateaus in part…
Hey there!
I think in the beginning you can stick with one PT a week, maybe even one PT every two weeks as you improve your knowledge of the material. When I started, reviewing a PT took me at least two to three days, especially when I did a clean-…

I usually do a month from the first time I get everything right under time, then two to three months out after I take it at the one month mark (assuming I do well). If it doesn't go well, I…

I read through all the comments but don't recall seeing anyone ask this yet, but I'm wondering about what to do with a game after the 4th attempt. Once you've gotten comfortable with a game, how often do you revisit? I find LG…
Hey there!
Tough position, especially when you know you've scored higher yet can't seem to get there consistently. I have a few questions though:
What are your blind review scores? What are your section breakdowns for the 167 test and your recent …
@standardizedcanbelearned said:
Ah okay, that makes sense. I didn't know what you meant by "drill types" (since I have ultimate and not ultimate+). However, I do have the "10 actuals" books for PT's 7-30, so I figure I can just utilize those f…
@standardizedcanbelearned said:
So, when you mean "drill" question types, did you time yourself with a specific question type, or did you just go through the older PT's and do one question type in the LR section without the timing constraint?
…
@standardizedcanbelearned Of course, no problem! Like I said, I was exactly where you are and it's easy to get overwhelmed. It's honestly great that you're assessing your progress early to figure out where to improve your study methods. You'll likel…
I'll be 24 turning 25 when I start next year! Like others here, I'm glad I've gotten a couple of years in the "real world."
I think this test aged me a bit though 😂
Exactly! It's gonna take some time, but you'll get there!
Yeah, you definitely don't want to get into that trap. It's so easy to burn through PTs that way. I know it feels good to think we're "doing a lot", but it honestly is important to be effici…
