Do I have to go back to Bible/Manhattan for retake prep? Forum

[crazyvix]

I just scored a 172, I guess most of my misses came from RC which I barely had any idea what I was reading..
I'm just wondering whether I should start redoing PTs directly or should I go back to Trainer/Bible/MLSAT stuff like that. any advice will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

I think you're at such a high level that using test prep books won't really help anymore. My friends who were trying to make it into the high 170s got private tutoring. They found that a private tutor was able to spot their specific problems and work at stamping out those problems.

Best of luck!

Alright we get it, you have a website and you want business...

So it sounds like your 172 was on an official LSAT, correct? If so, that's really great and you should be proud of cracking the 170s.

Since you're already scoring at a very high level, I don't think you need to go through all of whatever prep books you have. However, it sounds like you were pretty lost in RC, so it's probably worth your time to re-read the RC section of the book(s). Beyond that, at this point you should mainly be going through the following steps:

1. Take PT
2. Review PT, including any questions that you weren't sure about, even if you got those questions right
3. Figure out what areas of weakness your PT showed.
4. Spend some time drilling/working on that weakness
5. Repeat
