Should it be timed LR sections or just drilling the questions without timing? Overall, in the last PT I scored a I was wondering what I can do to crush the LR confidently? I have no other time committements and have taken a few weeks off of work.
That sounds like the right strategy in your case. Also, ramp up your time spent on study every other day. Thanks, Evan. My RC is going decent too, getting about 3 to 4 wrong at most.
Hi Josh and Evan! Do you have any tips for those October test takers who are having trouble getting accustomed to the time constraints of the LSAT?
I myself have this problem. I am scoring pretty well with untimed test I think almost everyone can do that but when it comes to timed preptest, I am really getting low scores well not the score that I plan to get.
Is that some sort of test anxiety? Any advice on this? I think you should try gradually shaving down the time you need to do the questions rather than just going to full timed all at once. Try timing yourself on individual sections and give yourself just a little less time than you need to feel comfortable.
From move the time down a little everyday so that two weeks from now you are close to the actual time controls. Two years ago, I took a Kaplan prep course, and eventually backed out of taking the actual test. My scores on the prep exams were mediocre at best. I found the most trouble in just understanding, and implementing the methods taught by Kaplan.
Eventually, I just lost interest. However, I currently work full time, and according to this method of study, 8 hours a day just seems extremely tiresome. Working 8 hours a day, then trying to study for 8 hours afterwards just screams burnout for my situation.
I really need assistance, but I am looking for a feasible study plan that would attack my weaknesses in LG and LR. Sorry I almost missed this comment. Generally everyone needs more than 30 days to max out their score, especially if they are splitting their time between LSAT prep and job responsibilities.
This post is more for people who have been studying for some time already but are using the wrong prep books and would likely improve their score by switching to better techniques. I know this sounds like a much bigger undertaking but the LSAT almost always deserves that level of attention. Do still keep a log so that you can identify any patterns that develop, as you may start nailing some question types but have trouble with others.
If you do start to see areas where you are weak, it may benefit you to seek out some extra drills on those specific question and carefully review how to attack those problems in the LR bible. With RC too, just do a lot of sections. Really doing a lot of them starts to throw your brain into a high speed reading gear, which might help with the LR section as well.
A word on the eight hours a day. If eight solid hours is too much, do 8 hours total time including taking little breaks, thinking of it more as a work day. I am a bit unsure on what is the best way to drill LR, should you break it down by question type like game type for LG and drill for eight hours a day? Or do you recommend just doing LR Sections for eight hours a day and reviewing mistakes. Sidenote: No specific question type gives me trouble. I know how attack each question. Instead most of my mistakes come from getting tripped from the content of the stimulus or a specific answer choice even after pre-phasing an answer.

Basic Linear, balanced ; if you missed a question, note what type of question it was eg. Since any improvement that you make on LR is doubly as important since it accounts for half of the exam , you should focus on that section next. Days working on RC and refining the other sections… with a full, timed preptest to start the day every other day or so.
Days with a preptest at the beginning of every day, then review the test to locate and improve your weak areas… referring back to the appropriate bible to re-read any problem areas that you are struggling with.

Hi, I have a question. Get into a routine and practice it before the day of the LSAT. Your mental game can have a big impact on your score. Any stress or distractions on test-day can ruin your concentration and leave no time for calmly reviewing notes or relaxing your mind before you go in.
Rushing around to get organized the night before, or the morning of your test is a sure way to increase your stress. In that bag, you can have a wallet, keys, your ID, tissues, a beverage in a plastic container, and any medical products like insulin or medications that you might need.
Get all of this together well in advance and be ready to go. Questions on the specifics? Check out the LSAC guidelines for what to bring the day of the test.
Try not to do that. This can be advantageous, if channeled correctly. Adrenaline helps you focus. Taking proctored tests in a real-life classroom may help you learn how to channel this energy effectively. As you work to improve your LSAT score, timing is everything. During your practice tests, pay attention to time limits and which sections or types of questions tend to slow down your pace. Prioritization may be a valuable method for you to get a higher score on the LSAT.
Yes, answer every question because there are no penalties, remember. Also, review your answers. If you have a shade of doubt, revisit it. This could save time. The point: keep going. All of these tips are going to help improve your LSAT score. Consider choosing a comprehensive LSAT review course to help you cover all the bases. Your email address will not be published.
