What I've noticed is this:<br /><br />For the first ten questions, when I'm going through the possible answers A, B, C, D, and E, when I come across what I think is probably the right answer, it ends up being the right answer. If that happens to be anything other than E, I end up wasting time by reading the remaining answers.<br /><br />For LR questions 11-25, when I come across what I think might be the right answer early, I VERY OFTEN end up picking one of the trick answers LSAC throws in to mess with you. For those questions, I very MUCH should have carefully checked the remaining answers.<br /><br />Unfortunately it is easy to end up doing the precisely wrong strategy here, because when I'm doing questions 1-10, there seems to be sooo much time left, ergo no need to not be thorough and careful by checking the remaining answers.<br /><br />On the flip side, particularly by the time one gets to LR questions 20+, I'm eyeing that timer (talking LSAT-flex here), and am looking for quick wins to save time, and so much more frequently will find the first good sounding answer and dismiss the remaining ones, resulting in me embaresingly picking one of the nonsense trick answers designed to discriminate 165ish takers from 17x takers.<br /><br />That's my experience, at least.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294095.post-45441625171797089882011-03-29T22:49:49.401-04:002011-03-29T22:49:49.401-04:00I can get most questions right but the timing of f...I can get most questions right but the timing of full tests is where it counts. Do these steps:<br /><br />Time each question individually - you will naturally/internally learn the speed. I have no other explanation than it just happens.<br /><br />My next step will be to time individual sections and learn how to put 25-27 questions together with less and less fatigue.<br /><br />Put it all together - multiple timed sections - once your endurance is built up.<br /><br />You don't just run a marathon without building the steps first.

My exam is in December 12 and I spend all of September reading the bible and doing 60 questions per question type to practise, writing a full test every weekend. Do you think that I should spend October doing exams untimed to attain endurance or go right into the timed sections? <br /><br />Please let me know.

Based on a lot of the blog posts that I have read on this site as well as others, I felt that most people who have taken the actual test before have found that they had done worse on the "real" test than on the practice tests they took at home. <br /><br />Do you think this is primarily because of "nerves" and being intimidated by the situation? If so, would you recommend any ways of overcoming these unnecessary roadblocks towards higher scores??<br /><br /><br />Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294095.post-38765470119197512742010-05-05T20:36:45.240-04:002010-05-05T20:36:45.240-04:00Hi Steve,

I have taken 5 test in the past month. The avg breakdown has been: I get through about 18 on LR with 14 Correct. Two Games-10 correct, RC-2-3 passages with an avg of 15 Correct. When I review the questions from LR, I usually get them right the second round. They were just careless mistakes. At this point, do you recommend that I take 4-5 test a week, or 2-3 test a week with a thorough review? Also, I could get through 4 Rc passages with no notation, but then get the same score roughly as with little notation. Please share with me your thoughts. I'm a big advocate for you. THANKS!!!

The number of question...Glad you found it helpful!<br /><br />The number of questions isn't nearly as important as the game's difficulty/setup.<br /><br />Looking at the number of questions alone won't tell you the difficulty of the game.<br /><br />If you plan to skip one game, make it the game where you can't figure out the setup or the game type that you were just never to figure out during your preparation.<br /><br />Good luck!Steve Schwartzhttp://lsatblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294095.post-13193589357597580372009-05-22T23:05:00.972-04:002009-05-22T23:05:00.972-04:00You're a mind reader.

This is exactly the kind of post I needed - I get most of the questions right, but what hurts me is the two or three questions on each section I don't do that I realize later were a breeze to answer.<br /><br />I only have one question; I've learned to mitigate the time issue on logical reasoning and reading comprehension by mastering them - but I can't do that with logic games because it takes me an unbearably long to finish a single game - I'm talking ten minutes and that's the minimum. <br /><br />Would it be better for me to just go for the 7-long question logic games that might take me even longer to finish but give me the greatest chance of success? Or should I just focus on the game that's five questions long but easier to finish?<br /><br />I realize it's sort of a pick-your-poison decision, but the logic game section is the only part that drops me from a 160+ to the mid 150s and I'm open to anything to better my chances.billyezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094411239514559584noreply@blogger.com
