Then I'd just say that you're in the vast minority on that one.

I usually don't get questions that I thought were right wrong. I'm either 100% convinced and usually right or somewhat convinced and possibly wrong. And I'm sure a lot of people are like that too (especially from my experience). I just want to know if anyone else is in the same boat as I am.
Never, ever happened to me since I started scoring in the high 160s. I might miss one or two, especially in the LR, but 5-9 is too much.Audio Technica Guy wrote:Then I'd just say that you're in the vast minority on that one.

From what I've seen, students who basically know which ones they've missed with that degree of accuracy usually score in the mid to high 170s. If you're missing 10-12 per test, most students I've seen are getting blindsided for at least half of those misses.hankypanky wrote:Never, ever happened to me since I started scoring in the high 160s.

I would say the exact opposite. What you're saying is indicative of people who score below the high 160s. If you're missing 5-9 wrong that you thought you got right AND you're scoring in the low 170s then you are NOT studying properly and your score could suffer wide fluctuations.
When you're scoring in the 96th-97th percentile, my experience and the experience of my LSAT tutor is that you know which questions you might get wrong and they are usually the ones you do--with a few exceptions here and there. In fact, I'm so convinced of this that I call bullshit on everything you said =).

Not 5-9. 2-3, at most. Like I said, if you're getting 5-9 wrong BLINDSIDED, you're not studying properly.Audio Technica Guy wrote:From what I've seen, students who basically know which ones they've missed with that degree of accuracy usually score in the mid to high 170s.
