I'll be the dick for those thinking it: you guys make me feel really prepared LOL

Do 50s to most recent in a random-ish order, and make sure you hit all of the 70s before test day. Don't do them consecutively, imo.

wait, really? why not? this is what I was planning on doing.

I mean like Twix said, no cookie cutter answer - Do what works best for you.
But I think it's best not to save all of the 70s for the end. Do a few earlier on so you'll have time to drill them and get used to the idiosyncrasies.

Ahh, I see. that's what I figured you were gonna say since the 70's are a bit different than the 50's. I may just do that then.

Hey All! Checking in for the first time! I'm planning on taking the September LSAT. I've been studying for about a year, and I've taken off the summer to devote to studying. The section I'm having the most trouble on is the Logic Games section, with timing being my main issue. I've used the Power Score Bible (I'm currently going through it a second time as a refresher) and the Trainer. I'm looking to start drilling/ using the 7Sage method as soon as I finish the Bible, which should be tomorrow or the next day. Does anyone have any advice for putting together drilling packets/ where to printing copies of the games? Also any advice on not burning through material too quickly?

Just took PT 65

Managed to get -0 on a 27-question RC and -5 on a 23-question LG on the same PT

I thought the TV Shows sequencing game with the double-slotted show was easy, but it actually destroyed me

I feel like you are going to have a really rough time during recruitment.

Piggy backing on the update:
LG is going better. Went -6 on a packet which I know isn't great but it is a leg up from my -9 of last week. RC is still around -3/4 a section, sometimes I have really bad passages and I have kind of been avoiding LR this weekend. When should I take a practice test? I was thinking July 1st

You should take one after you finish reviewing everything you've missed in your packet. I'm taking one this week! It will be my first since my diag so I'm sort of excited/anxious. You should use zen of 180 when you do take it. It will tell you what to focus on after.

Thanks, for the tips! I just reviewed some LG, the ones with the professors and bookshelves killed me but I redid it and went -0. RC is just fluxuating too much, I'll miss 3 on a section then 9 on the next.

Is anyone getting a little nervous that the test will be here quicker before you are ready?

Yes, I've been following it recently. I think that you definitely made the right choice!

it was a close call, but I think the savings and cold weather will provide me the peace of mind to be a little more focused on my studies during 1L. Now 2L and 3L me might be a bit pissed off about the weather

I am SO IMPRESSED you've spent a year on this. I would advise buying the 10-pack books of old tests from LSAC, then starting with the oldest games and working forward. Take the games one at a time, taking as much time as you need (record the time, but don't limit yourself). Aim for mastery of each game. With unlimited time, you should be able to get nearly 100% correct. After you complete the game, look up a diagram put together by an expert -- check out this forum for sketches <https://forum.powerscore.com/lsat/viewtopic.php?t=13994> or the youtube videos that are available for the newer games.

Over time you should get a sense of how setups work, when to stop making inferences and move onto answering questions, etc. Then start putting some time pressure on yourself -- maybe 20 minutes per game, then 15, and eventually, slowly work back to 8 mins 45 seconds each.

Aim for quality in each game, not just quantity! Good luck!

Yes, the test will be here quicker than you want it to. You'll want at least an extra month to get ready, and if you got an extra month, you'd probably want another month after that too.
