Hey my friends. Will be retaking for a 3rd (and final) time in June. Already have a 164 but was practice testing 168-171 before December. The reading comp killed me, as I thought it was much harder than previous reading comp (I thought much much harder).
I am coming here looking for advice about LR. For the past 5 months, I have not been able to get over the proverbial hump. I am seemingly perpetually stuck at -2 to -5 per section. The distribution tends to be random, i.e. sometimes a few in the first 10, sometimes all in the last 6. It is fairly random. Also, the question types tend to be fairly random as well. More of tendency to get incorrect flaw questions, but I spend soooo much time on them. Just when I finished really focusing on 3-4 types I was getting incorrect, next section I take I get 4 wrong of completely different types I didn't get wrong before.
Basically I am looking for help to get over this hump. I have gone through the LR bible (didn't help), and now the Manhattan LR. I have done every cambridge packet, drilled each question type into the ground. Yet I am still stuck, timed or untimed. I do the double blind review thing and I usually can fix 1 or 2 mistakes, but it is always after the fact. Any tips or tricks are recommended, as well as psych help to help break this 5 month mental block.
Help. For this 3rd retest, I rather get a 175+ but it does not seem possible unless I can tame these LR sections. Thanks.
Edit: also I will take advice on how to deal with having seen every LSAT question at least once. With regards to tests 45-now, I've seen each question 3+ times. I have been studying for a year now.
