Logical reasoning: I have read the Powerscore LR bible pretty thoroughly and feel that most of my fundamentals are down, but still am missing quite a few of the harder questions on each practice test section, as well as making some retarded mistakes. I average anywhere from 4-6 wrong on LR sections, with the exception of random meltdowns where I miss 7 or 8. I also have a problem of reading too fast and practicing these sections wayyyy too quickly. I'm talking about having 5 minutes left over for each LR section. I'm fixing this right now, and hope that reading more carefully will add a couple more right answers to each section and maybe reduce the variance. My lady friend ( A pro lsat taker ) analyzed one of my LR sections that I literally got destroyed on, and saw that I was missing a random assortment of questions and not any type in particular. Suggestions on how to improve please.
Reading comprehension: Haven't really studied much of this section and had problems in the beginning, but seems like every practice section I do I get better at it. I average around the same wrong as I do in LR around -4-6. Some passages I have problems focusing if the reading is way too dry or science related. I caught myself a couple times either zoning out, or being completely clueless after I read the whole passage. I've heard that reading medical journals help with these extra dry passages, but any other way to improve RC?
Logic games: Even though everyone says this is the easiest section to improve on, sometimes I just want to throw my desk out the window when I get stuck. I'm almost done with the LG bible, and know improvements are slowly coming, but it's still ridiculously frustrating knowing my mind does not work well for this section. I can't really say much about LG yet, cuz I haven't truly taken any prep tests for this, but studying seems to be going along decently. Finally finally getting conditional chains and inferences from in out games in grouping. So although I do suck at logic games, I'm seeing that it is learn able with some time and stress.
My plan so far: 1. start taking timed 4 section prep tests maybe 3 a week. Review the other days. I have all 60 prep tests so suggestions on what order to take them are appreciated. 2. in a week or so take a diagnostic at Princeton Review just so I can see where I'm truly at in a classroom setting. Just grind grind grind I guess. Hoping this post will keep me motivated. I also have the 10 actual lsat preptests book, conquering logic games by mcgraw hill, pretty much finished the LSAT superprep as well. Also, going into true hermit mode is a tough task. Thanks for reading. holla
