just did the june 96 lsat which is the first one in the 10 more actual, official lsat preptests book.
got 14 out of 24 on the first section. logic games. ran out of time and didn't do the second game, resulting in 0 for 5 on guesses.
second section was logical reasoning. scored 15 of 24. had to guess at last 2 questions.
third section was reading comprehension. scored abysmal 12 for 27. didn't get to read the last one, and also completely bombed the second one.
last section of logical reasoning i got 20 of 26. managed to get it mostly done but some quick half guesses.
Ended up with 61 for a score of 153 for that year.
RC is my worst. I'm not a reader in general, and generally find myself not following along with general argument/outline of the paragraph.
I also find time an issue. I can usually crush the logic games given enough time, but I think I'm too apt to double check correctness of answers even though I've ruled out others as incorrect.
Logical reasoning is OK, but I'd like to do better and be a little faster.
Still have 3 weeks to practice. Why do you recommend not using the powerscore books? Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
