Retaking the LSAT
I am strongly considering retaking the LSAT in June.
Any advice/examples of a three and half month study regiment leading up to the test?
Thanks everyone!

Re: Retaking the LSAT
In my case:
Self-study for 3 months prior to the October LSAT. Worked through the PowerScore LR and LG Bibles. Did full-length timed PTs 40-60 during this time as well as many LG sections from earlier tests.
Result: 175

Re: Retaking the LSAT
I tutored others. Having to explain my own process made me differentiate between good guesses and good methods. If you have friends who aren't as naturally good at the LSAT, maybe spend a few hours with them.
result 173

Re: Retaking the LSAT
This is good advice. I told my wife a lot about the test and explained many of the harder problems that I came across, and I feel like it helped my own comprehension. See if you can find someone who will listen to you talk about the test.kwais wrote:I tutored others. Having to explain my own process made me differentiate between good guesses and good methods.

Result: 175 (I think I'm going to make that my official signature)

Re: Retaking the LSAT
That would also be good for your confidence, but if you want to improve, I'd think about studying with someone better.
I think the guy with the 173 may have scored even better if he spoke about the test with others who could also offer knowledge to the convo.

What was your original score?
I got a 167 in October 2009 and I am retaking in June. I'm still pondering whether to self-study or to take a full-fledged class/tutoring. I really need over a 170 this time around, no taking chances!

Re: Retaking the LSAT
If you want to achieve the best possible score improvement, you need to put together a solid, detailed plan of attack. We discuss here (LinkRemoved) how to put one together.

Re: Retaking the LSAT
I am in the same boat. Retaking a 167 in June. Luckily I haven't used all of the PTs yet, so I'm going to do the Pithypike method with PT 1-20 grouped by type and then full length with PT 39+.
Adjudicator you are a big inspiration.
NJYankee6 which tests have you gone through so far?

Re: Retaking the LSAT
Thanks for the insight, everybody.
I hit a 159 in October. My GF seems like a perfect person to try out the "discuss and comprehend difficult problems" method on. With three months of study and a healthy dose of confidence, I hope to score within the 163-165 range. I will definitely check out the thread/blog post suggestions later today.
Thanks again!
