I think it depends on your goals and where you start out. If you've scored in your goal range for ten PTs in a row but you've only taken twenty PTs total, it makes no sense to wait to take the test just so that you've taken an arbitrary number. More…
For LG: Once you've found the answer, move on
For LR: For the easier questions, just move on. For the harder ones, I tend to read all the answer choices more carefuly
For RC: I definitely read every AC
Honestly, you should probably just postpone. Having a low score on your record is something you want to avoid. It takes at least a couple months to cover the basics and then you still have to drill and PT
If you hydrate really well the week of the test, you shouldn’t be too thirsty on the morning of. I’d say drink your coffee a couple hours before the test starts and then chew gum on your way to the testing center
You can't get an actual standard deviation number but you can see your lowest, highest, and average scores, so I think that you could calculate it yourself if you wanted to.
I think I’m missing something- the title of the discussion says 158-168 in two weeks, but your cold diagnostic was 163 and you’ve been studying since June?
First, just try to relax. You’re probably stressing yourself out more and more with every PT which leads to mistakes. A 169 doesn’t mean you can’t/won’t get your 170. You’re super close! Try to figure out what led to your confidence leading up to th…
I sincerely hope that OP proves me wrong, but most people won’t outscore their average by eight points on test day. Especially considering the last week before the test “the hay is in the barn,” OP realistically has only one week to make improvement…
There’s almost no way you’ll get a 165 in two weeks, unfortunately. I think you could gain a few LG points by foolproofing, but if your average is 157 you can reasonably expect to score 155-160
Yeah I'd start from game one. I wouldn't say that they "build" from one another necessarily, I just think it makes the most sense to start at one for a few reasons. 1) You don't want to start on games that you're going to want to PT with. 2) There a…
It is definitely NOT insane. I work in government with the legislature and I totally get what you mean about the advice.
June is eight months away. That seems like a long time but it's really not in terms of LSAT studying. Lots of people on here st…
I think you'll definitely get a lot of recommendations for 7sage on here. The other important thing is practice tests, obviously. Depending on which 7sage package you choose you can supplement the PTs with then sets of ten sold by LSAC, they're pret…
If I get distracted I try to just take a few breaths and close my eyes to re focus. Literally EVERY time I have ever taken a PT, I have had a song stuck in my head. Every time. Not even the same song either. It's the worst but also kind of funny
I would argue that sexual harassment is a social obstacle- it might not have prevented you from getting a job or something like that, but it prevented you from feeling safe in your everyday life. I think it's a great essay topic and it sounds like y…
Try reading the answer choices in reverse order? Start with E and work up to A? The truth is though that the answer choice can be any letter, so you just have to remember to try to force yourself to approach every answer critically.
You'll only have explanation videos for PTs that you've purchased/are included in the Starter (minus logic games of course). You'll still be able to grade any test with analytics and see which answers are right/wrong, you just won't have the explana…
I work full time and I'm a full time student but I'm lucky in that I have a desk job with a lot of down time this time of the year so I can get some studying done at work. I usually do 2-3 hours a day, PT on Saturday, and take Sundays off
It sounds like OP means going through the PTs' logic games in order (like 1-35 for foolproofing). I think either way I would say yes- foolproofing in order is great. I usually do the games in a PT in order as well. I think the only time you shouldn'…
