How long does it take to reasonable forget a question?
Does anybody else plan on reusing practice tests, or if you have done so in the past, could you please share your experience(s) ?
Thank you!

Re: Reusing LSAT practice test questions
It depends. I tended to remember LR and RC a lot more than specific inferences in LGs, though others may be different.
This is assuming you've completely exhausted all existing materials (PTs 1-76 + Superprep ABC + Feb 1997 + June 2007) though. If you haven't, try to get your hands on those that you haven't seen.
I tried to prevent reusing material that I had seen any sooner than about 4 months prior. Still, I found myself recognizing material from time to time. Reusing material can actually be really beneficial, because you start to notice patterns and trends in arguments that you didn't the first time around.
Try not to psych yourself out if you remember a specific question on a PT, though. Many people report inflated PT scores when reusing exams they've taken before, but I often experienced the opposite because I would remember a tough question and defaulted to trying to remember what the correct AC was rather than just working through the problem normally. Don't do this, and you should be fine.
