Do you tend to get more mistakes on the last 2 passages? I noticed that I was spending too much time on the questions that I didn't feel very comfortable with my answer, and I'd often end up having to speed through the last passage, hurting my score…

@"Positively LSAT Street" said: @MissChanandler did you fist master LG before jumping to PTs ? Or is it ok to master it while taking full PTs? I don't think you should "master" LGs before moving on to PTs, but focusing on them until you get …

1- Both getting enough sleep and being on a regular sleep schedule seemed to make the time I spent studying much more efficient. 2 - I made sure to work out almost every day - even if it was just jogging a mile, I got a lot of value out of doing s…

It also depends when you plan to take the exam and what your schedule looks like/how much time you are dedicating per day/week to studying. Note that many students notice some changes in the exam that occurs in the mid 70s which, although they are v…

Im kinda discouraged, will it eventually click. Yes, it will

@conor_93 said: i just don't get why the LSAT couldn't accomplish the same goal without the logic game component being so hard. i suspect that at basically every level of intellect, you need to invest time and money to synchronize your logic…

It has gotten easier. Many of the modern exams have 3 relatively cookie-cutter questions with a fourth question that is miscellaneous but not that difficult.
-
@SuperMario929 the increased difficulty, or at the very least the overall change in the feel of the test, has been experienced by many, myself included. I agree with what @"Michael.Cinco" said about the LR questions. For example, in the earlier PTs,…

Also, for LG, I found that I improved from getting 0 to 2 wrong per test to getting consistently 0 wrong (with the very occasional 1 wrong) by getting faster and faster (and more accurate!) at reading the game and setting up my board. Doing this in …
-
I think using the LR question bank will be helpful. In the weeks leading up to your next exam, I'd go through all 4-star and 5-star LR questions, or at least on the question types that you (1) seem to get incorrect more than others, or (2) seem to s…

@drbrown2 said: If you are able to take 2 of the newer prep tests before the real thing in July, it might help you adjust to the current tests. Newer tests are testing the same concepts, but many people experience a bit of an adjustment period…

@chenyu_1995 did not realize you were set on applying this fall. Given that context, your plan seems to make more sense. Best of luck!
-
I'd suggest you don't take the exam if you've done very little prep. If you've been planning to take the October LSAT, then you should just focus on that and try to kill the LSAT on your first shot. Also, in July there's a 50% chance you'd get a pap…

@liubrian said: I feel that sometimes it can be environmentally-dependent.... If you're already scoring high, mindset and physical prep can make all the difference. Cannot overstate this. Your overall mental mindset at a particular time is i…

I certainly think it is feasible for you to make a large improvement to your score by September. But it's difficult to say by how much, or how much you need to be studying without knowing how long/often you'be been studying (not that it's necessaril…

I don't mean to be curt, but given your statements: @firewaterlsat said: I’ve only taken one PT so far outside of my diagnostic.... ... ....I’ve watched the LR CC but have only done a handful of the drills. I feel like your level of c…

For Logic Games, try solving them along with J.Y. So read the game and do your set up. Then open up his video explanation and see how he did his set up. Then do this question by question. This can be much more helpful, as it will help you identify …

Hard to tell - where does your 170 stand relative to your PT average over the last 6 or so PTs? If that average was only, say, a 171, then I’m not sure you should be confident that taking again will make things much better. But if your average was s…

I took the July 2018 LSAT. I had been averaging around 174/175 on my PTs leading up to that, with my lowest score in the 10 PTs leading up to the exam being a 170. Nerves got the best of me on test day, and I bombed it (according to my PT scores): 1…

do whatever you want to do short of something very mentally straining, no need to overthink it. Reading a book is fine. Maybe do a few questions of each section, too, as it will be smart to do that on the day of the test.

Congrats buddy! Happy that my LSAT journey has come to an end as well -- a great feeling for sure.

@CantStopWontStop said: Wowwwwwww! Congrats! Thanks man. Very excited. Best of luck to you!!

great question, also interested

Just noting that I have heard from others that applying ED runs the risk of getting admitted at sticker price, since the law school has no need to grant you any $ since you must attend their school (or not attend law school at all). So my advice is…

I was in your boat yesterday too. Scores are trickling out now -- hope you all did well!

Happy to say I will not be retaking the exam Thanks to all of you, and best of luck to whichever of you still have the LSAT in your future!
