Question about reviewing - help appreciated Forum

Hello,

I was hoping to get some opinions from the LSAT experts on the board about when to transition from drilling cambridge LR question to exclusively misses from LR sections or PT's , etc. I've done the cambridge LR over probably 2-3 x, and I plan on using the LG and RC cambridge pretty much until my test date (December).

I ask because I'm at the point where I can actually remember from memory a lot of the LR questions answers in the cambridge packages, which screws me up. I know theres still stuff to learn from the questions, but it still kind of ruins it.

Should I be exclusively reviewing my misses from timed sections + blind review at this point? Or do you guys recommend still doing Cambridge drilling for LR? For the moment I was thinking that I should probably continue to do both, but as I said, I remember the answers to a lot of them, more specifically many in the flaw/weaken/streghthen/assumption/inference questions. I'll be drilling the other types such as PF and argument part up until test day.

Thanks a lot guys.

Even if you're remembering the answer, ignore the voice that tells you its B, but instead work methodically to eliminate all the answer choices, while explaining to yourself why those were wrong, and the correct one is right. This will help you eliminate trap answer choices on fresh questions, because you'll see the wording over and over again.

Hey thanks. Yeah I was kind of leaning toward this, and I agree with you. I will probably continue to drill as I was since it helps with pattern recognition. Should I just continue this right up until test day then? Or is there a point where cambridge LR takes a back seat for good?

Thanks.

I think thats a good idea. Im going to re-print the level 3-4 questions from those sets, and any that give me any trouble I'll have a write up about. I also want to start focusing in on the logical structure of LR questions rather than the content so much, as I've had suggested to me.

EDIT:: what do you mean flashcards? Will a word document do?

What I'm doing is using older questions for drilling and saving the new PT for actual tests. I have PTs 20-40 from Cambridge and I'm going to work on the 40 + for PTs. I'm going to do one from every Saturday from now til December and during the week I'll start doing sections once I feel I've drilled enough to focus more on timing.
