LSAT Prep Question for advanced test takers?

Question

I took a short class and have been through probably 600 real LSAT questions and have done the LSAT Superprep (need to review). I am currently going through the Logical Reasoning Bible. I will also go through the Logic Games Bible and use the Logic Games Ultimate Games Setup Guide to do the 40 more real practice tests I have. I will also go through Kaplan 180 is I have the time. My goal is to score between 165-180. Ideally about a 172. Any more advice? I have the Pinceton Review Cracking the LSAT 2008 Edition, should I omit it?

Answer 1

Why is your goal to score between 165-180? Have you ruled out scoring exactly 165 or 180?

i·de·al·ly

adv.

1. In conformity with an ideal; perfectly.

Also, using the above definition of the word 'ideally', wouldn't 180 be the ideal (perfect) score? Perhaps you mean perfect relative in particular to yourself. If so, why is 172 your ideal (perfect) score rather than 180?

Answer 2

I think you are doing MORE than enough prep!  I took the LSAT after doing only the princeton review--and it was very helpful.  You will definitely know all the information you need to know based on the prep you are doing. The one wall I hit, and this is one to look out for, is timing yourself when doing practice tests.  I took a lot of practice tests and scored 180 on a lot of them, but I wasn't timing myself, and that crunch (especially in the logic games!) makes a huge difference. So test yourself repeatedly and pretend it's the real thing when you're timing yourself so that your anxiety is equivalent to that on test day.  If you do that, I say you can omit the princeton review or kaplan--one will be sufficient. Good luck!
