Any chance you could elaborate about how you changed your studying to get into the mid 170s after stalling in the 160s?patfeeney wrote:It took me eight months to get my 174. However, this was after about five months of tooling around, thinking I was actually making progress. I hit my max PT in April at 170 before dropping down to a 164.
I spent the summer completely changing my study process and started getting 175s in my PTs by early September.
Get your studying right the first time and you can get it done in 3-4 months... but do it PROPERLY.
173 here. I studied 5 weeks for 2 or 3 hours per day. So 3 months... it can be done. Here's how:Veni_Vidi_Vici wrote:Clearly people who get 173+ have studies for at least a year.
I scored a 173 and this is how my prep went.Veni_Vidi_Vici wrote:Clearly people who get 173+ have studies for at least a year.

1. I was told that taking full PTs under real testing condition is very important. It helps you get comfortable with the real test and build up endurance.rocket87 wrote:Veni_Vidi_Vici wrote: Two inefficient things that seem to be harped on- taking full PT's and reviewing correct answers. I took 1 full PT after a few weeks, made a 168, and felt exhausted. 4 sections, not 5. I couldn't simulate test-day conditions because I knew it didn't count. I felt like taking a single section (always at 35 minutes) and then immediately reviewing my wrong answers was easily the most effective method for me.
CR - Many 175+ scorers did not just walk into the LSAT and score that high. There is a lot of effort that goes into prep for the test.Clearly wrote:You should prob actually score 173+ before you form judgements as to what it takes to do it...zhenders wrote:Why?Veni_Vidi_Vici wrote:Clearly people who get 173+ have studies for at least a year.
Everyone is different. I'm taking February and I've been studying for exactly 3 weeks as of today. I can assure you it does not take everyone a year to hit 173+.
I agree wholeheartedly wrt the comments about quality vs. quantity; study smart AND hard, and 2 or 3 months can, for many people, lead to 175+ with consistency.
Well first, if you think something's working for you go with that.CocoSunshine wrote:

2. I review every question I did because even if I got it right, I may get it with a wrong reason. I also read Kaplan's explanation and Manhattan online forum to maximize my learning from one single question. Is it a wrong way to go?
Thanks for the reply! Really appreciate that!rocket87 wrote: Well first, if you think something's working for you go with that.
I'm sure for a lot of people there is value in taking a lot of full PT's. For me there was none. I've taken much longer tests before and knew adrenaline would carry me through. But even for those who do gain something endurance-wise, I think you get more quality studying done in your limited amount of time by immediately reviewing a section while your thought processes and confusion are still fresh in your mind.
As for the bit about reviewing correct answers… Mostly it boils down to time better spent diagramming games. For those I watched the 7sage videos and for the most part used his method.
