Well, at this point I'd say not to sweat it too much. It is true that a number of people find the more modern tests to be more challenging, particularly RC. However, I wouldn't be too quick to infer too much from a single score. Sometimes a particu…

Hmmm...I'm not quite sure I understand your question. If you can elaborate a bit, I'll do my best!

Well, normally I would side with heritage and go with the Netherlands, but since they're not in it this time, that roughly 6% of me that's German feels pretty patriotic these days.

See you all Thursday!

Hi, @gallonsharon! I am most certainly in that position. Feel free to send me a message.

Hey @gogulky, if you return to @keets993 original post, I think it has a pretty good explanation of how the calls work. See (hear) you Thursday!

Admittedly, I did begin by foolproofing games individually from PT1-35 in order, and then I began doing full timed sections from PT38-55. At the beginning of doing the full timed sections, I was regularly going -1 or -0 per section under timed condi…

@Alex said: When I'm stuck I usually try to re-read the stimulus and see if I'm missing something. Also see if I can find a reason to eliminate one of the answer choices I'm stuck on. If I still can't figure out I skip it and come back to…

Not sure if I'd classify it as motivational, but the Pelican Brief is hands down one of my favorite law-related movies. And, I've watched it a couple times as I've been studying to keep up my motivation.

Hmmm...what does your review process look like after a section? Also, are you finding yourself pressed for time (or running out) as you're doing the questions? I've found being willing to skip a question or two that I know will be time consuming of…

Have you noticed whether you're struggling with a particular type of game? @demiiisodaaa said: But when I took timed tests this week, I'm still missing 5-6 questions. About how many tests are you writing per week? How are your scores in…

I definitely find it helpful to review which RC question types I seem to be struggling with. It helps enormously in RC to have a set of strategies and rules in mind when approaching different types of questions, so knowing which one's you're having …

@keets993 said: @"paulmv.benthem" delaying always sucks but just think of how prepared you'll be for September! And if need be, november. Or maybe I'm just greedy and am happy to have another person in the BR group Haha! Well...it definitel…

Thanks for all your thoughts, @LSATcantwin , @"Seeking Perfection" , @keets993 , & @"Leah M B". They've been very helpful as I've been contemplating my options. In the end, I've decided to postpone till September, and then budget for a retake in…

Oh! Please add me as a 44th round pick!

Thanks @LSATcantwin and @keets993 for your thoughtful responses! Gosh, it's not an easy decision at all. Regardless, thank you for helping me to work through some of my thoughts and concerns. My preference would be to not take it in November, prima…

@simplereally said: Question: what is your strategy for RC comparative? Do you read both passages back to back? or do you first glance at the questions, see if there are any questions that only address one passage (sometimes i know all the que…

Thanks for the help everyone! Resetting the cache worked!

@LSATcantwin said: One goal I had when trying to learn Lawgic was to not over incorporate it. Is Lawgic extremely important to understand, and to be successful on this test? + Yes, it absolutely is. Can Lawgic make a simple p…

Can't tell you how delightful it was to wake up to this post!

At first, I was bubbling in every question during LR, and then I switched to the same technique that @"mickey.caleb" described, and I found it far more efficient! Good luck!
-
What sort of variables are you interested in tracking? I use a spreadsheet to track my performance on sections (and I do find it helpful for keeping track of what material I've used), but it only includes the date, score, BR score, and personal comm…

@mariecavery said: How many months (average) does is take? For myself, I worked through the entire CC before moving onto FPing PT1-35. It took about a month for me to go -0 on a full, timed LG section. Now, I typically go either -0 or -1 on…

I enjoyed reading this post as I'm drilling away at the library! Thanks, @mgzero2!

While I think it's important to be clear on the question type, as @Kateryna is suggesting, I would encourage you to think carefully about what is being described in the stimulus and what the implications are. While the correct answer choice does not…

Are you talking about LR, RC, or LG, or some or all of them? I don't think there is a clear-cut answer to your question. Admittedly, I did not watch the explanation for every problem in the CC, and I seem to be doing well in my prep. That being said…

Looking back at your test taking experience in February, do you have a sense of why it was you panicked? That is, was it something about the content of the test or about the actual test taking experience itself? Did you find yourself noticieably mor…
