For retakers: Question about PT's already completed.
Posted: Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:50 pm
Hi everybody,
I'm hoping someone can answer this for me. I'll be retaking the LSAT in June. Because I have already taken some PTs (the 7 most recent one's, excluding Dec '12 and Oct '12 which was my actual LSAT), I'm curious about how to approach retaking them.
When should I retake them? Since I'm familiar with them, I don't want those to be the ones I'm taking 2 or 3 weeks before the test and have a false sense of confidence. I've gotten 167s on my past two PTs, but they're the least confident 167s I think anybody has ever gotten on a PT.
How should I evaluate a PT in relation to ones I haven't taken? Obviously if I score high I'd have to attribute some of it to have taken it before.
Am I putting too much thought into it? Should I just take them and evaluate them as if I've never seen them before?
Should I take those PTs now and then go to the older ones (finish out the 40s, go through the 60s, and then the 50s?) I'm hoping that another retaker has some advice, I'd appreciate it!
