@c.janson35 you make a lot of great points. I'm just hesitant to the idea of a "prediction," because it really did feel more like an intuition to me. For example, when I would read an NA question, most of the time I really couldn't tell you what t…

At 15 PTs it may still be a bit early to have developed the intuition necessary to have a general idea what the LSAT writers are doing/wanting on a given question. Focus on BR and watching the 7sage explanations for questions that are stumping you.
-
I applaud your discipline and dedication to reviewing, but I would advise a more efficient approach to reviewing. The process I recommend is: 1) As you are taking the PT the first time, circle the questions which you do not feel mastery over. 2) …

Pro tip: You don't need to predict right answers. When I was studying I rarely tried to predict right answers. Instead, I relied on process-of-elimination to quickly strike out the wrong choices and then made an educated guess based on what was left…

The key is that you don't want the harder questions to break your rhythm. That Rythm will get you through the test. Once it breaks, panic ensues.

RC I did a bit differently. I would skip within a section and then comeback if I was in a reasonable time frame. Guessing was 5 or less a section. Usually in questions where I had narrowed it down to two choices.
-
@alejoroarios I'd guess about 3-5 a section depending on difficulty.
-
And the reason I discourage re-rakes is because I feel that they inflate your score and provide a false sense of security. I would only use them if it was my only option. I am not just saying these things to be rude.

I usually finished LR with 5-8 minutes early. RC was consistently 5 minutes early. LG was 3-5 minutes early. The trick is to not get stuck on trap answers. POE, guess, then move on. You should have time to come back to it (the five minutes or so I …
-
I never understood the allure of a re-take. A proper BR should be enough in my opinion. Once you've practiced/learned what you needed from a PT, move on to the next one.

Killing it! Well done! Keep up the great work. October will be here soon!

^I second this. I spent a month slaughtering the curriculum before I even printed a PT

This is one of the few PTs I don't own. What exactly does the question entail?

Yeah, it comes with time. I used to get so mad when a careless mistake would ruin a question (or game) for me, but the mistakes diminished over time. As @c.janson35 said, you will develop tricks and awareness overtime. Just be methodological as you …

I purchased all the PDFs before they closed the candy shop. Best investment I've ever made...

@leonsmoney said: How does that schedule look? I am not sure where you are in your prep or how many PTs you have, but if you could do 3 PTs a week instead of 2 it would be better. Doing at least 3 a week helped me get a great "LSAT intuition" and…
-
18 is a bit high but If that's how many you want to get a second glance at, so be it. Overtime you will become more confident and the number will come down. As long as you quality BR each of the questions I can't see a problem with this. However, …
-
One additional tip: I didn't restrict the exercise to questions I got wrong. Sometimes I learned just as much from questions I got right. A lot of the time I would get questions right because I had developed a good LSAT intuition. To further refine …
-
During my prep I rarely re-worked LR and never reworked RC. This was because I was taking PTs so often that usually the BR was enough. However, one strategy I did use was to flip through the last 2-3 PTs I had completed and try to remember what I…
-
@Pacifico PDFs for the win.
-
@DumbHollywoodActor yeah, my bad. I didn't look up the actual question but I remembered the gist of it from when I took the PT a few months back. I edited the response. Thanks for the catch.

See how Politician 3's comment has nothing to do with an argument that is concerned with real estate prices? The bus routes are a different issue; a different debate.

C) Is a trap answer. What do bus routes have to do with an argument whose evidence is grounded in real estate prices? In a nutshell: Evidence: Land is more expensive in the city versus on the outskirts. Politician 1: "Clearly we should build outs…

I scored one 180 and a few 179s during my PTs.

PT72 is over-hyped... It just has an unusual game which is why it's perceived as unusually hard. From an emotional/psychological perspective I think it's good advice to not do it a few days before you sit for the real thing. However, If there's one …
