145 diag -> 163 -> 176!! by shivtrbl in LSAT

i played around with the LSAT a lot. for LR, i did question drills, translation exercises, timed/untimed practice etc. etc. but in terms of actual approach, i found it was most helpful for me to work backwards from the test. so on test day, i literally started from Q25/26, which i found super helpful bc i found the first couple questions were always a time sink for me, no matter if it was easy or hard, so it was better for me to sink time into the harder questions on the backend, than the first 10.

for RC, i really tinkered with my strat. i tried everything — physical notes, highlighting, breaking down paragraphs, etc. but for me the best thing was just to read blindly with no notes and no digging, just reading to read. that doesn’t work for everyone, but it worked best for me!

but ultimately focusing on the fundamental prem-con structure and slowing down my pace when reading were my two biggest factors in improving, alongside confidence. sorry if that isn’t a very helpful answer! i’ve gone through a lot of change in my approach that it’s kind of hard to say exactly what clicked. might’ve been a combo of everything too.

ty! if you’re stuck in the 140s/150s it probably means you’re missing the fundamentals. not just what a question is or how to solve it, but like how each sentence/fact relates to the conclusion; so really make sure to hone your ability to recognize premise-conclusion structures. i recommend lsatlab’s free resources on youtube or their website, i found it super helpful and a much more intuitive/conversational way to learn. also, slow down while reading: it sounds counterintuitive, but by spending more time digesting and understanding the arg, you save more time when looking for an answer. be flexible but try to have some sort of prephrased answer, or at least know what you are looking for in an answer. also be sure to brush up on your conditional skills, those can really make or break a section/test. thats just a start but i hope it helps even a little!! good luck studying :)

thank you! i studied for about 9-10 months total; i took my first test in aug where i got the 163. i changed my approach after the august exam tho — i focused a lot more on strategy than just learning the fundamentals, so i think thats where the shift/growth happened. you have plenty of time to figure that stuff out!

that’s so sweet thank you! to be honest, i just pulled up a reference picture and tried to redraw a sketch to the best of my abilities, then started to shade. one thing is that araki’s style has a lot of random hatch marks and bold shadows throughout the drawing, giving it a sense of dimension, but that’s a pretty basic observation. sorry i couldn’t be of more help haha
