Hey guys,

I took the December test and scored a 157

LR: -19 (Sec1: -7 / Section 2: -12)
LG: -1
RC: -12

I'm planning on taking the June 2013 test and aiming for a 165+. On my PTs, my LR sections were extremely inconsistent and in RC i usually scored -10 to -15.

Any advice on study methods, guides, or anything of the sort in regards to my december 2012 spread?

You could definitely benefit from drilling LR. How did you approach studying for LR in the lead up to December? Did you use any books? That would be helpful to bring you to your next step

I took a prepcourse.
For June, I plan on studying on my own but I don't really know how I should approach it. Also, on the test i had RC - LR - LR - LR - LG and I got completely assed out from the three LRs in a row.

Follow the NoodleyOne's way http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 6&t=195603

Best self study guide I know of.

Do you know how it is in comparison to Pithypike's?

Pithypike's, IMHO, is a bit more in depth than Noodley's. I feel that Noodley's is better if you already grasp some of the test, Pithy's is good if you are brand new. But I would look at both, definitely won't hurt.

Take a prep course like Powerscore or Test Masters or buy one of the recommended self-study guides, like the Power Score Bibles. There is plenty of material out there, all you need is practice.
