September 2014 Retakers Forum

[batesc14]

Does anyone have a list of the "weird" games ever since PT 1? I'd appreciate if someone shared it with me! I'd also be down to getting together on Skype or something and coming up with a list if there isn't one already made.

Were you able to find them or do you still need them?

Would love some help with this too. Took practice tests 40-71 and can't remember any games like game 4.

That's because all the unusual games are from the really early preptests, like 1-2x. Also, have any of you held off on reviewing the June exam like I have? I'm considering retaking it in a couple weeks or so after some drilling to see if it was just nerves that did me in on test day. I figured it's almost fresh since I don't know which questions I got wrong.

Yeah, I held off reviewing my first take (December) until May, just to see how I would do with no fresh memory of it. 166 when I actually took it, 173 in the practice retake. So demoralizing.

This is intense. How many hours per week are you putting in? How much did you put in for June? I start back up school in August and I'm already worried about balancing LSAT/friends/classes/applications all in those 6 weeks leading up to the test. But I want to get 170+, despite how bad my score was in June.

Right now, about 3 hours a day. It was a little more sporadic for June. Some days, I'd prep for an hour, other days three maybe four. I'm also pretty worried about balancing the LSAT with everything else.

Taking the September test. I haven't booked it yet, or purchased my CAS, but I plan on getting on it. I want to have my whole application finished by the time I get my score back so that I can ED. Here is to hoping for UVA.

I'm worried about running out of material to study. I only have the Powerscore LG Bible, Manhattan LR, Manhattan RC, and "The Next 10" exam book. The LG, especially, are a perishable skill. What can I do after exhausting the LG Bible?

Redo all games. Then redo them some more. That's honestly the best way to master LG if you ask me.

Just received my score for the June test. Literally I can't believe my eyes. The score is extremely low and I have never scored like this. It is even much lower than my first PT.

I totally don't know what happened given my PTs are mostly above 170. I felt quite good for my performance on the test day except the LG section.

I am so sad. It is like, everything is so unreal. This is my second take and I know the next one will be my last chance.

Good luck to all of us.

Compare your scantron to the work you did on the test. Maybe you should request a hand correction. It's like $40 I believe.

Im retaking a 170 and trying to improve on RC.
Would you guys suggest I just drill RC sections or read the powerscore RC bible?

Just finished drilling 30+ RC passages. The whole SS packet from Cambridge.

Drilling, yes. Powerscore reading comp is dumb. What's your current strategy for RC? Do you have a particular method?

I just underline some key words and keep track of the passage in my head. Previously tried the Kaplan method and found it to be completely useless. I figured I should try another method considering RC is my weakest area.

The only materials worth reading for RC are Manhattan and the Trainer, in my opinion.

So once I got my disappointing score I had a study plan after the 3 well break but that has been destroyed. My part time job overr the summer has turned to fulll time 10 hour a day. I can't even being too focus after that. I'm debating how bad it would be too start my study plan the second week of august. Any thoughts of that's enough time to relearn everything?

Try spending 3 minutes and 15 seconds in each passage.

I feel most threads for next cycle are. It's the calm before the storm. I know I'm trying to relax a bit before the insanity of lors, apps, why x statements and more start piling up. I'm also procrastinating haha.

Could be true.

P.S. I like your tar.

RC: -2
LR2: -1
LG: -0

Second time taking this test, but whatever. Guess it still kind of counts.
