@CynthiaVeee said: It does seem to be a little late in the game to be taking PrepTests if you're taking the October LSAT, but if you are dead set on that test date I would only take max 3 PrepTests before then so you do not burn yourself out b…

165 median LSAT and 3.83 median GPA. Looks like great school to shoot for if you don't care about T14; especially if you want to practice in Georgia.

@laurenh1722 said: I also had a similar experience. I was PTing 164-167, and it was a shock to see a 155 yesterday. Not only did LG get me, so did RC which I did not see coming. I am going to make sure I get LG to my fullest potential since th…

I was PTing in the low 170s and got a 164 in Sep. The LG section dropped me a full 8 wrong answers more than usual. Aside from that section I did very well on the other three. That particular test was as hard as I've seen in my time studying LSAT. Y…

Great job! I don't know how anyone could do that. The flower game beat me up and got all of my lunch money.
-
One thing that bothers me is I didn’t get credited for even answering the last RC question when I finished that section with 5 minutes to spare and had even gone back to double-check my flagged questions.
-
My September score thoughts are all pretty negative right now. That LG section wrecked my universe.

Why does this thread feel like an FBI sting?

Details. When I was in your boat not too long ago it was all in the details - usually modifiers like "most" vs "some" vs "many", etc... in the answer choices. The solution? Commit to being a stickler for thinking through those little modifiers. Tak…

I took 46 PTs in 9 months and was averaging in the low 170s before sitting in September. I was BRing in the high 170s so I know I didn't hit a "peak." My highest timed Prep Test score was 173 with 176 BR.

Consider your BR score your current capacity in a best case scenario (barring miracles.) Of course you will improve as you progress through studies. Will you pick up 4-6 points in 6 weeks? That depends on you and your studies. The "easiest" (ther…

If you're missing most LR questions, there are several possible reasons. You could be misunderstanding the question stems, the reasoning of the stimulus, or the answer choices. In order to get better at LR there is a single step that helps more th…

I've found LR sections to vary in difficulty. It could be that you are scoring at your current level based on the difficulty of the respective sections. What I did to improve when I was in your position was to write down the question type of each LR…

I think about them like this: the SA answer choice will be a premise (additional information) which guarantees the conclusion of the stimulus. If you add the premises of the stimulus to a correct SA answer choice, it makes the argument 100% correct.…
-
If you're only BRing in the low 160s you still need to work on understanding the logic, mastering games, and/or refining your RC methods. To get better at the LSAT requires you to improve the way you think and there is, unfortunately, no timeline fo…

I remember having some trouble with PT 69's LG section but even that can't hold a candle to Sep. We're talking 3 time-wasters - 2 of which are high difficulty - and a basic 4th game. I never practiced to bounce between games but going from game 1 to…

I took 39 Prep Tests prior to June and another 6 between then and September. I did almost all of the new ones and a lot of the older ones. Nothing prepared me for the Sep LG section. I recall taking a few Prep Tests with one insanely hard game but …

It may still matter. My fiancé is an attorney and graduate of Berkeley. Her job applications have never failed to get her a job: big law or government. An applicant from a lower-ranked school might get looked at with more scrutiny than a T14 grad. O…

My tips for RC: First, I ask myself “why” while I read each paragraph. Why is this author saying this? What’s the point? Next, after reading each paragraph make a quick mental summary of what it is saying. Think big picture and function instead of…
-
@"Pride Only Hurts" said: @"Pride Only Hurts" I feel the same way, although I did find the 26 LR section to have a few difficult questions tbh. Do you think you broke 170? Only if I got a little lucky in LG. I’m realistically e…
-
It took me about 12 Prep Tests before my first breakthrough and another 35 or so before I started hitting my target score. Some testers are quicker to improve and others are not. Consistent persistent studying is the key to the LSAT. There are two…

@ConquerLSATboi said: @99thPercentileOrDieTryin Same. Think I dropped a few points in the RC section though. How many do you think you missed on LG? Think I for sure dropped at least 3-4. At least -3 on LG but could be as bad as -9 if I made…

@ConquerLSATboi said: @99thPercentileOrDieTryin Do you think you broke 170 despite that LR section? The other 3 scored sections aside from the LG felt really strong to me. The day before the Sep exam I went -1 on my LR sections and -2 on …

Hanging in until I see that score. Do a few LSAT problems here and there to stay fresh but not expecting to need a retake at this time.
-
I’m in your boat with the exception that I freaked out and cancelled my June score. I think I realistically cancelled a 165 or higher - which is probably insane. I too am aiming for the 99th percentile so I don’t fault your high personal standards.…

I started out very nervous doing practice tests also. What helped me most was just grinding through them in spite of the nerves. Guess what? They aren’t the real thing! Also guess what? The pressure of the real test NEEDS to be practiced! I’ve now…

-
A few days later and I’m putting things in better perspective. Sure, that LG was tough but I feel confident that I did very well on the other 3 sections. Was it a perfect run? No. Do my chances of 170+ remain? Yes. I’ve done PTs where I’ve aced LR …

I increased my stamina by completing 2 timed PTs back-to-back several times. Do one new prep test and one you’ve already finished to conserve PTs. By doing this you enhance your ability to maintain focus and a single 5 section test becomes easier.
