Best way to improve on LG for a retake?? Forum

[carpquiet]

Hey TLS,

So I took the LSAT on Oct 9 and got a 167, which is a score that I am pretty happy about. However, I'm a TX resident and a splitter (3.3) and having a good shot at UT or the T-14 probably requires at least a good 4-5 extra points on the LSAT. I ranged about 166-172 on my PTs. So here are my questions...

1) Does it make sense to retake? My score breakdown was -6 on LR, -2 on CR, and -8 on LG. I just never really got very good at LG and definitely didn't get good enough to do well under pressure. I'm not playing with fire too much, am I? I'm pretty confident I can improve on these screwy little games.

2) If is does make sense, how is it best to study for a Dec. retake? Just keep games over and over combined with a few PTs? Is Atlas Prep worthwhile, or should I just re-do the LG Bible more slowly combined with re-doing logic games over and over? Anyone in my situation before have a good plan?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks and good luck on apps everyone.

Retake.

Drill games. Don't do anything else. Just do games and games and games non stop back to back till you overdose on it.

Don't outright neglect RC and LR. If you don't practice your strengths, they can easily become your weaknesses.

But definitely focus primarily on games.

I second this. I am like you, OP, except my GPA is higher and I TOTALLY CHOKED on LG and came out with a 158. Freaking -16 on LG.. could not believe it. I am aiming for UT as well, and I would have loved to get your score. Anyway, I have been taking the advice out of Pithypike's study guide and the advice of the excellent test takers on this forum and doing logic games over and over again. Don't just do them once.. do each game like three times. It has started to help me. LG is always my weakest spot, and I always felt like it was hit or miss with LG.. if the games were right, I kicked ass.. but if the games were not right, I panicked and freaked out. Now I want to do so many logic games that I will start to DREAM logic games. I crave revenge.

I read somewhere that Penny Press and Dell Logic puzzles can be really helpful. Anyone tried this? I'm going to focus on the PowerScore book and actual LSAT games, but I'm looking to fill every waking moment of my life with something that will help me improve my score. I thought these might be a good way to introduce some variety to spice up my LSAT training.

Dont bother retaking. Your score isnt that bad.

You have issues in places other than LG and you dont want to risk doing worse on those during a retake.

Leave things as is.

I'm almost positive I got all the question I did get wrong in february wrong on the games
and I'm almost positive I didn't get a single one wrong in october.
difference?
I did almost exclusively LG from August to December. Bought all the books LG bible princeton kaplan everything. helped a lot. now i think they're all absurdly easy and finish with at least 5 minutes left every time. In october I had 10 minutes left.
