How-to's for Reviewing Preptests

[legalrabbithole]

Recently, I've been taking one preptest weekly since I'm mainly drilling individual question types. Starting at 8 weeks until the Oct 2011 LSAT, I plan on taking 2 or 3 preptests weekly.

What's the best way to review these PTs?

Thanks!!

"6. Keep a log of the questions you need to work on, and re-solve them later on, striving to solve the in the way you wished you had solved it the first time."

I know re-solving questions should be a personal thing, but has anyone found a efficient way to systematically repeat problems? Any feedback would be appreciated!

If you mean how to organize it all, I'd suggest keeping a list (I call it the "little black book" - which makes me think of Sam from Cheers, and his book of telephone numbers).

If you're asking how to actually execute:

1. start by adding questions to your list,

2. then re-solve that game, question or passage immediately so that you immediately root out your incorrect approach.

3. then perhaps copy those questions so you have fresh copies. Throw those into a folder, chronologically.

4. About two-weeks after you first did and reviewed the problem, go back and re-do it - that way you've had enough time to start to loose your complete memory of the question, but not enough time to have forgotten the big idea you wanted to remember.

5. Repeat #4 if you think that'd be helpful for that problem.

See if that works.

I'd be excited to hear other people's strategies for this.
