It's Friday. The day of the happiest of hours.

You guys can help me by telling me your LR process. For some reason I'm hovering between -5 and -7 per LR section on the 4 tests I've taken and I'm trying to knock it down significantly. Is it just time and recognition?

ETA: should mention I have read through MLSAT LR and been drilling.

Are you missing questions of a certain type? Is your logic confused? Going too slow (not 15 in 15)? Going too fast? Don't understand LSAC's usage of an important term?

I don't think I'm really qualified to give advice on improving LR anyway, but you need to analyze your mistakes and get more information about the problem(s). At that level, there may be one or two critical things hamstringing you, or you might just need to work on truly mastering the basics.

Someone above was trying to contact me. Just send me a PM and I'll try to get back to you. I'm avoiding TLS because it's wasting too much of my time... I don't want to be combing this thread for responses when I could be doing something (somewhat) productive. I'll return in full force once I've gotten 175 on a PT (which means first I have to actually force myself to take a PT...).

Also, WELCOME BACK GAMER! WE MISSED YOU!

I just did the Assumption Question drills at the end of Chapter 3, and even though I missed 3 of the 14 questions, that's still a significant improvement over where I was just a week ago. I'm missing about the same number of questions as you are per LR section. My goal is to get through another two chapters tonight and then PT tomorrow to see how I've improved.

Is it a big bunny, or, is it a small piano, or, both?

hey guys, quick question: would someone that has studied on-and-off for a while be able to take the june test if they started seriously prepping now? or would it be better to wait for october?

Yes you can. There is enough time. But of course, it depends upon your target score and your progress.

There's 12 weeks until the June LSAT. If "serious prep" means 25 hours a week, that would give you 300 hours. That is likely significantly above average as far as LSAT preparation goes.

Like was said above, it depends on your current score and your desired score.

Thirding all of this. 12 weeks is the standard prep time according to test prep companies. You're definitely not late to the game so long as you study diligently.

that's encouraging, thanks everyone! if anything i can retake after june, i just wanted to make sure i wouldn't be wasting prep tests by starting now.

i'm excited!!

I would save your PT's until after you master the basics. Using them ASAP would be a waste, in my opinion.

msp8 · Post by **msp8** » Sun Mar 15, 2015 6:37 pm

Took PT 30. It's a re-take. Did it as one of my first PTs (so over 6 months ago).

Scored 174.

I don't count it as legit because I remember some of the LR Qs.

No. Definitely a coincidence.

The thread was never really fun to begin with
