9/6-9/12 SuperPrep A B C
9/13-9/19 50 51 52
9/20-9/26 53 54 55
9/27-10/3 56 57 58
10/4-10/7 59 60

all of them, besides the SuperPrep, will be 5 sectioned test. I plan on using PT 45-49 for experimentals and for timed section practice. PT one day with full review the next.

scored a 159 in June 2010 and looking for 161+ (i would be happy with 160 although).

im wondering if taking pt60 is better used earlier in the month vs later since you might want to review the latest test for a bit longer than two days before the actual exam...im taking pt60 this weekend and mixing in earlier 50's with later 50's throughout the month. thoughts?

I was thinking the same thing. But on the flip side, it might be nice to take the most recent test as close to the october test to get the best idea of how you're performing on current tests. I've heard that LSAC or whoever makes a huge batch of questions at one time and splits them up over the 4 tests each year, so your performance on the june test should be a pretty clear indicator of how you'll perform on the october test, if you take them a week apart.

Hmm. That's a good point...not sure what to do now. Am supposed to take PT60 in the morning but now I'm wondering if I should save this one until October.
