Re: How should I study for a retake?
I very seriously doubt the validity of this. It sounds like you're excusing your grade a bit too much.SHANbangs wrote: In fact, 2 hours before the test, I took a sleeping pill hoping I'd get at least 2 hours of sleep. Didn't happen.
The fact that you scored a 166 without careful study indicates you're not so stupid as to take a sleeping pill two hours before the LSAT.
As far as your original question, you actually identify the best method to achieve a higher score as you describe your lack of preparation.
It's quite simple: Take the test seriously, prepare carefully, and profit.
Why did you even post this? It seems like it follows logically to think, "Hey, I didn't really prepare for this so much, so what should I do next time? Oh duh, I should actually prepare this time!"

Re: How should I study for a retake?
I agree with CMdantes, the sleeping pill sounds like a bad move. It almost sounds like a sabotage move. But, nerves will do crazy things to a person.

If you want to hear what we say (and it's not that our stuff is what to use
), we're doing a free live online workshop on Tuesday night: http://www.atlaslsat.com/EventShow.cfm? ... ventID=191 The big focus is the difference in approach between average test-takers and the 170+ crowd.
Good luck!
