Re: Old PT for Diagnostic?
Pozzo, which cycle are you studying for?
Even though it's an old test, it still tests a lot of the same skills so I think you should be fine. It's not quite a diagnostic for you anymore since you have the feel of the exam. I wouldn't worry too much; focus on identifying skills you think you need to improve, drill them, and take another PT in a while to see if you improve. Maybe focus on saving the more recent ones for when you're closer to the LSAT date so you don't get stuck rehashing material. For stuff like RC and LR you find that the questions stick in your subconscious and their usefulness in prepping you diminishes if you have them memorized. (ie it still helps you working through them, but if you're testing timing it's unrealistic because you already have a leg up on the problem.) LG is a bit different; if you haven't played a game for a few weeks it tends to drop out of your head.
