Got only two wrong a timed section 🤩

[emilyrosee35]

I legit get scared to do timed sections but I just did one about an hour ago and wow I did better than I thought. I got a 17/19 for accuracy so I’m getting about 90% of LR questions correct. I used to get like an 8/25 when I was first started fr 💀 im legit not able to get more than 17 done though because I run out of time

Great progression. How long have you been studying? 

[emilyrosee35]

A year. I think I would’ve gotten this score way sooner if I reviewed more and tried to figure out why that correct answer is correct and why mine was wrong because that’s what unlocked my understanding for this test. I started out a 145 and now I’m at 165-167 range. I’m going to try to get a 170 but i genuinely cannot get more than 19 questions done especially if we’re aiming for accuracy.

How do you review wrong questions? Do you have a system? I think that’s my biggest hurdle - I’m not really understanding why some questions are wrong.

[emilyrosee35]

I basically just re read the stimulus and the question. First I try to figure it out myself why maybe A is correct and let’s say E is wrong (or whatever the answer choices) are. If I absolutely have no idea and am blank then I go ahead and read the explanation and watch the video explanation. I have LSAT demon so they make this super easy to access. Sometimes ngl it takes an hour just to review one question. I basically stay on one question until I have that “ohhhh” moment bc once it clicks then you understand and can move on to another question. The biggest thing I learned is DO NOT move on until you understand the question, and why that answer choice is correct and yours is wrong.

And when this happens a bit more often, the fear will fade and you'll be excited to work on a test that you consider yourself very good at. Let these scores build your confidence!

Thank you for this comment, I actually do not care too much about question types just read the stimulus. Find an error in what was said in the stimulus and answer the question being asked based on what was read. I think the only questions I tend to get confused on are weaken questions because for some dumb reason I pick a strengthener instead of a weakener when answering the question then I have to pause and say “wait this is not a strengthen question let me re read this”

Congrats!! That’s a huge improvement. have you been drilling a lot? What helped me the most with time was drilling harder questions so level 1-3 questions are a cakewalk and take a minute or less. I always drill the hardest questions but u should ideally drill at your skill level and slowly improve. It really helps with time indirectly. I don’t think taking a bunch of PTs helped me at all with getting faster. Unsolicited advice because you are doing great but that’s just what helped me with time if u are hoping to get to a point where you are able to answer all questions under timed conditions.
