If not - I recommend you do so before coming up with a study plan.
If so - what did you score in each section?
Thankyou so much for the advice! When I took the test at school with Kaplan this was all that they sent me for my diagnostic.schmelling wrote:A score breakdown by section (as in how many you got right or wrong on each section) along with raw and scaled score is a better way to report these things on the forum. Its just a bit more user friendly.AlexandraHope wrote:my diagnostic was 151giantswan wrote:Have you taken a diagnostic yet?

Logic games were 35%, Logical Reasoning was 58% and Reading comprehension is 78%.
The good news is that you have an awesome breakdown. By fixing logic games you will break 160. Studying diligently in the other sections will put you in a position to get a 170. I never suggest studying longer-term to people. Put your entire effort into it for 4 months tops and adopt the attitude of never studying for this test again after the first take. If you will have time over the summer, I strongly suggest just waiting for school to let out and studying then. I just don't think there is much to be gained by studying less than 20 or so hours a week for this test.
Devoting that amount of time each week helps you really dive deep into the way the LSAT wants you to think. It also makes you so miserable that you refuse to extend your studying past a certain date, a powerful motivator. Obviously, if you don't get the score you want the first time, you should extend your studying and retake, but that is Plan B.
