Like many here im finding it hard to predict what my score was. However if it goes south I’m thinking about what I could do to improve next time after having gained the experience of taking the test. I used LSAT Demon to study and did a section a day with PT on the weekend.

If I retake I plan to:

1. Focus more RC. I got really good at LR but I’ve realized that what was keeping me from getting above low 170s on PTs was a lack of focus on RC. It made sense to focus on LR at the time but I’m starting to see that I left points on the table.

2. Learn (some) formal logic. While do subscribe to the Demon philosophy that it’s mostly unnecessary I do think that certain question types probably are easier if one has some background with logic. Particularly parallel reasoning.

3. Pick a better hotel room and take the test later in the day. I had a bad nights sleep at the hotel cause it was next to a highway. Taking it at 8:30 was too early for the amount of sleep I got. I read you score higher earlier in the day but it left too little time to adapt.

4. Take more caffeine. Seems obvious but I got in and realize one coffee was not enough pretty quickly.

5. Ask how to use the chat feature beforehand. I didn’t take a bathroom break cause I couldn’t figure out how to message my proctor. By section 4 I was bugging out.
