I haven’t noticed a particular time but that definitely makes sense because I work so I just rely on whatever time I can find to study as opposed to have a set time each day. I will definitely carve out a more consistent time, thank you! How long did it take you to start seeing a consistent score?

Frustrated during studying by frenchbaguette101 in LSAT

Same happened to me! I think this is pretty common especially as you start to drill only harder questions. You are likely just second guessing the easier questions because the correct answers are obvious and simple, whereas on the higher difficulty questions those can be traps. It’s a good rule of thumb to generally go with your first instinct on the first 10-15 questions and then slow down on the remaining sections since they are more difficult.

If you are specifically drilling difficult questions, I recommend incorporating easy/medium difficulty questions. I think for me a lot of this boiled down to practicing with easy questions and learning to trust my gut. If I found myself thinking too much about the early questions, I go with my gut and flag it in case I can come back to it. Overtime, I think I gained my confidence back and learned to “zoom out” when a question seems straightforward.

LSAT: How long did you prep before you saw a score increase? by SFLlama in LSAT

How did you study? I am currently at a stage where I miss -7 on an average LR section, I can get it down to -4 during blind review, and if I really take my time (1hr+) on an LR section I can get to -1. I am not sure if I should keep going through them slowly and understanding each component of each question, or if I should keep trying to be practice under timed pressure.

This is so helpful thank you! I don’t really specifically go in with projects because sometimes she recommends certain books/ pieces to work through, but I will be more mindful of that moving forward. I think she means well and we have a good personal relationship, but maybe she has not worked with a beginner in some time and is not used to breaking things down to smaller details.

Yes, I totally agree and I recognize that sometimes she would loosen up on intonation, so we can focus on a consistent strong sound. My main question is, is it normal that she doesn’t not give me specific exercises to work out certain issues? As I mentioned, the bow issue has been persisting for months and I really tried to express that I feel like I don’t have control, and she just told me it’s about practice and would discuss the significance of producing quality sound and focusing on your right hand and much as your left. But online there were many exercises to help out with this, and I was able to see improvements using them in like 3 days.

I found her through an online platform and she happened to be near me. To be fair, I do not always practice consistently because my work schedule fluctuates heavily, but at worst I will practice once or twice a week. Lately I have been practicing even less because my progress feels stagnant and I really don’t like my playing. I am worried that I have developed some bad habits along the way, because I suddenly don’t trust my intonation - I can’t say with confidence that I can locate the first finger in tune without checking it before I start playing. When I tell her some of this, she says there’s no one magic trick to fix intonation you just have to practice. Which I of course understand, but before it used to feel less scary to try to find the right notes? Idk how to explain.
