Try to review tests immediately after taking the test. At the very latest, complete review the next day. You must devote the time to review PTs. Case in point, you took PT 26 & 27 last Monday/Tuesday and you are STILL reviewing those f-ing tests.
Argghhh I am so frustrated with myself right now. I hate reviewing PTs, but I vowed never to take tests without reviewing ones that I already completed. It’s a vicious cycle: pushing back review, stressing myself out by avoiding review, and getting further behind on my schedule. Must stop procrastinating on this. Got to get my act together.

ahhhh good luck I remember when I was studying for the LSATs… patience is key <3
Thank you, Deb! I greatly enjoy reading your blog.
Whenever I want to pull out my hair, I’ll try to remember your advice: “patience is key!!”
Thanks for your visit to White rabbit and copnsider yourself blogrolled
Thank you, WR!
Ooof, I need to do the same. You shall be Blogrolled!
WR, this is Samson from LSAT Blog. Yes, immediate review is key. In fact, immediate review — with test explanations — is ideal. Good luck with everything.
Thanks for the feedback, Samson! I greatly enjoyed your guest post at LSAT blog…do you have a blog? I’d definitely read it, so please let me know.
I’ve read this tip so many times that I’ve known that PT review is critical. I guess I missed the time component of review– it definitely needs to be done immediately after in order to be effective.
I think 2 things made late review of PTs awful:
1. I don’t recall passages, game setups, and LR questions so I have to basically re-read and re-do everything which is very time-consuming
2. #1 makes me want to procrastinate it even more
If I do PT reviews immediately after, I find that it’s not as time-intensive or difficult because it’s all fresh in my mind.
1. Excuse me: LR, not WR.
2. Ah, yes: I do have a blog. Feel free to visit: http://ea-hybrid.tumblr.com/
3. Yes, that is exactly right: immediate PT review is the best PT review. In fact, I often would review each section as I went along. The benefit is that you waste very little time re-acquainting yourself with the questions. The drawback is that you are not simulating the strict conditions of the full-length test. For me, the drawback was not meaningful. I started taking full-length PTs only one month before the test. My rationale: This test is a marathon. Endurance training for the full-length test is important but can come later. It’s important, initially, to perfect your technique. As you become more efficient with the sections, you will be better equipped to do the full-length test, to endure.

I think I’m going to try out your suggested “take a timed section and grade it immediately after” idea.
great minds think alike! good luck studying!
Thank you!!
