I've been studying for the LSAT since March (about 2 months so far). I just took my 4th practice test and my score progression looks like this: 163, 166, 168, 171.

I haven't been studying as much as I'd like, maybe 5-6 hours per week, but I plan on really stepping it up over this last month (LSAT is just 4 weeks away T_T!). I got the LSAT bibles, and now I've finished the logic reasoning bible and the logic games bible, and this week I'm going to start the reading comp bible, hope to finish it in 1-2 weeks.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to sustain growth on every practice test - I've probably hit a plateau. There were a string of 5-6 questions in one of the logic reasoning sections where I missed 4 of them, really hurt me. And there's usually one of the four logic games that I get maybe 3-4 wrong, and the other ones I can do no problem.

Another issue I need to work on is timing - I'm able to do all the problems without TOO much problem, but I'm just a few minutes slow. For example, in the logic games, you have ~9 mins to do each game... I do them in 10-11. You have 35 minutes for a section, I usually do it in 40. So, I need to practice a lot more to get my timing good. I haven't taken a practice test under 'full simulation' (timing myself, etc).

I'm going to start that on the next test I take.

Anyways, felt like writing that. My goal for the LSAT on June 7 is 175. So I need +4 points and then to be able to sustain that up until the actual test.

O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O_O!

Dude, you MUST take as MANY practice tests as you can under real conditions. Spend some time learning popular strategies/tips if you want, but that kind of studying should end up being only a small fraction of your time. Get the 30+ real LSAT practice tests that are available and do one full one per day.

Good luck!

The LSAT is kinda strange. I know someone who basically prepped himself since freshman year for the LSAT and his score was only good enough to get into a T2 law school.

But then I have another friend who, as a bio major, decided during his senior year that he wanted to take the LSAT and started preparing for it really late and he scored in the 99th percentile. This is the same guy who failed basic calculus and had to take it again. I remember having to "refresh" his memory on how to factor.

GL! You should try having a friend help you time your tests. Maybe you should even think about the test like a SC game. You have to get the timing down just right. The faster you get, the better you do. So since you only have 35 minutes, just picture you're playing your favorite professional and you REALLY want to win ^_^ And don't forget to take a break and relax every now and then when you study. The brain remembers more with trials but it wont remember as much if you try to cram it with knowledge. GL on the Test!!

Just keep doing practice sections again and again. I noticed when I took it I had adequate speed on every section but logic games. You probably already know this tip but doing the logic games in the order 1,2,4,3 seems to help a lot of people (including myself), just because 3 tends to be the hardest. Oh and do what Nony said, but you've probably already done that and might be running out of practice tests by now... GL, GL!

That's why our law schools also have GPA requirements.

Good luck! My brother took the LSAT and said the hardest part is answering the questions fast enough.
This summer I'm going to buy an LSAT prep book and start studying for the first time, do you have suggestions of what book I should buy? I know there are many.

I think the LSAT was the hardest test I ever took, and that includes the California bar exam. The time constraint is the real difficulty; given enough time, it would be a relatively easy test. It sounds like you'll be well prepared though. Good luck.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.
