Re taking prep tests

[Sherry001]

Hello ,

I had a question in regards to re taking prep tests.
I am re-writing in Feb and thus far I have done prep tests 30s to 50s. (I haven't touched 60s and 70s as I am just starting to use them for full tests ). So , in your opinion do you think I should re do the 30s and 50s for my timed sections ? Or should I go to the 10.to 20s which I also have not seen ?
A part of me thinks that it's better to see fresh material .. the other part of me thinks that I should re do the ones I have already done, a couple of months ago to reinforce good habit and correct no so good ones . Which part of me shall I listen to ?

Also .. with the test about a month away , I am doing only two full - timed section a week . And the rest of my practice is untimed and timed sections ? Should I be increasing my full timed sections ?

I apologize for my super long questions

Thank you so much !

Hello,

It is likely good to go on and do tests you haven't done before. That said, it may be good to briefly go back to the previous ones and see why you got wrong the ones you got wrong (and why you got right the ones you got right). But you can do that fairly quickly maybe, without actually retaking the tests.
Do you meant two timed full tests a week? That may be about right, though some hardcore types might do three a week. Don't burn yourself out though!

Hey Sherry,

This might help with the tests you've already seen: http://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid/239 ... -questions.

And yes, I'd Increase the number of timed sections you are doing—better to overdrive yourself in the month of January to build up your stamina.

Good luck!
