What a huge jump! lol I don't think I've even made more than a 3 point leap so that's pretty cool! Congrats!
-
This is so great!

The solution is almost certainly in technique. Once you're scoring in the high 160s, chances are you can BR in the mid 170s which means your comprehension is usually not the problem. For me, recording myself really showed me my biggest issues. I…

@Princess said: Congratulations! I wanted to ask how you studied for the logical reasoning and what your best tips are. I feel like I struggle with breaking higher into the LR and I do get discouraged sometimes. LR takes time for sure but th…

Sophomore year is super early! I have to agree with MissChanandler. Your GPA is something you only have control of while you're in undergrad. The best thing you can do for yourself is to focus on graduating with the highest GPA possible. But if you…

@theLSATdreamer said: @MissChanandler said: Also, congratulations!!! Thank you! i'm very close to the 160 i'm at 159ish, but i think i even made out a decent 15hour a week study schedule, skipping most of the game section …

@KR_RealEstateJD said: Needed that because June is coming up and I still haven't been able to break into my goal Keep at it! If you're at that point where you're BR score is strong but your actual timed score is short of your goal I'd recom…

You made the right choice!

Follow up: It looks like UVA has a pretty decent loan forgiveness program. Perhaps that explains why so many of their graduates do Federal Clerkships, public interest and Government work. https://www.law.virginia.edu/public-service/loan-forgivene…

Above the Law just placed them at #2 based on their measurements which are heavily based on employment opportunities and cost. https://abovethelaw.com/schools/university-of-virginia-law/ This is definitely a personal choice you'll have to make beca…

@"Better every day" said: My BR score was usually around 174-176. What section are you struggling most on? The fact that you are BRing 176 is still pretty solid and means you have a strong understanding of the underlying concepts. Getting my PT…

@CRLSUUUU said: @"Pride Only Hurts" @"Better every day" I haven't PTed in a while as well but back in Oct I was PT-ing in the mid 160s while BR-ing around a 173. I think I need to go back and review my basics, maybe my understanding is still r…

@NickIllini said: Your method is good but do note that the more recent RCs are a bit harder and there's now a comparative passage that you won't get in the older tests Good point! I haven't found the comparative passages to be any easier or …

@CRLSUUUU said: @"Better every day" I think the most important thing for RC is reading for structure. And also knowing exactly where the evidence comes from in the text. Once you start reading for those big things and not getting caught up in …

@MissChanandler said: I think your method sounds good. You have more than three months until the June test- I think that if you put in a few passages per day between now and then, you'll be able to make improvements. Whew I hope so! There's…

Save most of them for later! Once you know where you're weaknesses lie they are very useful for drills.
-
I should add, I'm contemplating whether or not it would be more efficient to focus on the "hard" and "hardest" passages instead of starting with medium passages.
-
I think it’s a bad habit in BR but I think it’s acceptable under timed conditions. If something is truly irrelevant then cross it out and move on. In blind review you should be able to say what makes it irrelevant and what would it take to make th…

Do it! The drills and added explanations alone make it sooooooo worth it.

70 PTs is ridiculous. Instead, I'd spend my time recording PTs and BRing the hell out of them. If you're scoring 168 then you're already at a point where most of the questions you are missing are difficult questions. I don't think forcing yoursel…

@Amrina96k said: @eRetaker said: What's your section by section breakdown? I get -8 to -10 on LR sections. About -5/-6 on LG ( i can never get to the last game within 35 mins), and RC is my lowest section. I get about -15 w…
-
If you only have 10 fresh tests left, you can use the early ones from 40's-60's for section drilling, while 70 and up for full PT's. But let your weaknesses guide how you use the retakes. For example, if you need to work on LR section strategy th…

@leah199422 said: Thanks for the input! How about starting from PT 75-83? 75-83 is where I'm at. I'm Interested!

The days off are a nice break from readings, but is frustrating because we were supposed to have a Meet the Employers event where people from 60 firms came tonight. That is cancelled and will be hard to make up. That's tough but I'm sure you'll…
