How to get from good to excellent? (in particular RC)

Post by Gabriel_is_Satan » Wed Apr 20, 2016 9:48 am

Hi everyone!

I'm taking the 50's PT's and get on average
LR -1/-3
LG -0/-1
RC-3/-5
(timed, with bubble sheets).

This gets me 172-176 usually. Yes, I know, that's quite good but I really need to blow the LSAT out of the water because my application file is otherwise a complete outlier (law would be a second career) and I really need the merit-money. Also, rumor has it that the LSAT gets harder from the 60's PT onward. And anyway, I have 6 weeks left (June LSAT) and might as well try to maximize my score :-)

LG aren't the issue. I'm seeking advice about how to nail those last, hardest LR questions, and how to improve upon RC more generally. Most advice I read is geared towards improving a 155 score, not a 175 score. I already know and do all the things I read. Aside from blind review and doing all the PT's I can get my hands on, I'm out of ideas on how to improve my score. I don't think I've hit my ceiling, I've been doing this for little over a month now (3 weeks working through the LSAT Trainer, 2 weeks doing PT's).

Any advice? Books, drills, previous posts I missed? Surely there must be a more efficient way to improve than just brute-force my way through timed PT's (however necessary they are). Whatever I'm doing systematically wrong in RC and those hardest LR questions isn't going to improve by sheer repetition (quite the opposite).

Many thanks!
