LSAT Timing Advice, please help!

[eddiet37]

Hello, on my arguments sections I consistently miss only one or two on the first half and completely fall apart on the the last 10 to 15 questions. I have my timing down so that I complete the first 15 questions in 15 minutes. I'm at a loss.

Any advice on how I can help fix this?

Thanks.

This is a probably function of the difficulty increasing once you hit the teens. It's been pretty convincingly established that the first 10-12 questions are relatively easy, and then the last 10-12 questions are harder (not saying it's in an exact order of difficulty, but more like a general pattern of the difficulty being greater in the last portion of the section).

If you get to question 15 and only use 15 minutes, you then have 20 minutes to do the last 10 questions. If you are strong enough to do the first 15 at that rate of speed, it seems like you should consciously make the decision to slow down once you hit the teens; I'd think that would help increase your accuracy as the questions get more difficult.

If you guys are studying for the LSAT right now, you should check out an lsat timer. I created it while studying for the LSAT last year and it really helped me to keep track of my pace.
It meets all LSAC guidelines so you can use it on the exam.
