@"Cant Get Right" said: I’ve been thinking that I’m going to stick to my greatest hits going into the last couple weeks. My thinking is that will keep me sharp as well as max out my confidence. So, any perfect LR section, my favorite games (admit…

@BruiserWoods said: right, but from where? How do you choose the content? Ah, well I've been using the 2003 tests lately. Should I be doing them from more recent prep tests?
-
@BruiserWoods said: how do you choose your warm-ups for test day? I typically do 7-10 LR problems, one game, and then I read a passage and think about it as I would on the test. I try to conserve my energy.

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: 3) Start the test at the same time as you'll likely start the real thing (2pm in your case since June test begins at 1.30 I believe? Or 30 minutes after the administration/show up time) I've been doing all of the other thin…

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: Keep doing PT's but sections are often better ways to identify habits and work on breaking/building them in a more focused way. How does this study plan sound today - off, rest tomorrow - drill sections of PT 72 Thursday …

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: Yeah take the rest of today off. Pretty much any time when you're like "I need a break!" it's because you really need one. Haha that's all I needed to hear; definitely will take today off....my BR has been crap so far. @…

@BruiserWoods said: You know how to sit for a fully-timed PT; my recommendation is to just drill 72 as full length sections so you lay eyes on the questions. BUT, I'm only speaking from personal experience, so others may have more valuable insight …

Okay, I'm going to sum up the helpful advice everyone has contributed! Please let me know if I've missed anything 1. Slow down when reading the passages! Like in logic games, the setup is the most important part and can reveal many answers. 2. Wh…

Another cause of concern is that I often feel confident in my answer selections; I thought I had killed this last RC section.
-
@"Cant Get Right" said: I know you may have already addressed this at some point, but is your main issue with time? No....I always have 5 extra minutes. The kind of questions I got wrong on the last test were use of a phrase (2), primary purpose o…

Took the June 2015 test yesterday: missed 2 LR, 0 AR, and 8 on RC! That's a 170, but I could be crushing it if I could figure out how to improve that RC score!

@MrSamIam said: but, don't waste time on trivial things (for example, what complex but irrelevant words mean). I keep reading that; I've definitely missed questions because of a fixation on words I don't know.

@danielznelson said: For trickier main point/main conclusion questions, I skip them after giving a quick pass over the ACs and move on to the other questions without rereading the passage, only if I am confident in my knowledge of the passage. Some…

@danielznelson said: Using the 7Sage Memory Method helped me improve and get back on track for RC, but given the time it takes, I eventually moved on with an improved memory - an outcome the Memory Method counts on. Not sure where you are in compre…
-
@"Cant Get Right" said: Yeah, I do this too, and you can totally use this during the test. I think reading just needs a little time to stew. I typically finish with about 5 minutes to spare and do kind of a quick review. Without glancing back at…
-
danielznelson, you are a boss! That advice is incredible! I notice that I typically get inference and author's attitude/most likely to agree with questions incorrect. Also, that if I can't identify the main point of the passage correctly, I get a t…

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: Seriously though—be careful with this stuff. When you take the actual exam, your adrenaline will be through the ROOF. Caffeine pills could easily backfire. Make sure you practice a routine with them now and do not deviate fr…

@"Jonathan Wang" said: To me, that's the attitude adjustment that @quinnxzhang is referring to. People think of 'unavoidable' mistakes and accept them, where in reality there's nothing unavoidable about them. Achieving perfection requires you to ac…

@runiggyrun said: The LSAT is like a good movie - every time you see it you discover something you didn't notice before, and you want to have noticed as many of the recent nuances as possible. Holy crap, that is an amazingly poignant quote! So, …

As far as remembering questions, I'd just be cautious of getting to the point of where you begin reading a stimulus and instantly think "oh I know that B is the answer because blah blah blah". I think that defeats the purpose of the process you're g…
-
That seems like the best idea to me as well. Regardless, I'll have to retake practice tests, so I might as well retake the newest ones. A point was raised on the TLS forums that three weeks is too short, and that I'll remember the problems. I feel…

I think they are useful for what you are doing. Great for learning, just not an accurate gauge of what you'll get on test day

Thanks Cant Get Right! I think the important thing to consider is that seeing the most recent problems from the past several years 4x instead of 2x is what is making me go in this direction, especially since I've already done the older problems. I t…
