broall GMATNinja What levels of accuracy should we expect in these questions? I've kept a detailed
error log / tracker for all of these LSAT questions posted day-wise by Broall. I could definitely feel an improvement in my CR game, as I've reached Day 24 today. Was wondering if there are any accuracy benchmarks you'd recommend for Easy, Medium & Hard for these LSAT questions
That's a tough question, especially when we're talking about a randomly selected subset of LSAT questions. Or GMAT questions, for that matter -- if you miss 5 out of 30 random GMAT questions, that could be really good or really bad, depending on the difficulty levels. And since we can never know the EXACT difficulty level of any one question, it's tough to reliably interpret accuracy data unless the sets are standardized in some way.
The data becomes much easier to interpret if we're talking about an entire LSAT section (roughly 25 questions per section). Those LSAT sections don't vary much in difficulty, so if you miss 12 RC questions on one LSAT section and 6 on another, that's a sure sign that you're doing something differently from day to day.
There's obviously going to be a little bit of variation from test to test, but we find that students who are
consistently only missing about 20% of the questions LSAT CR or RC sections (in under 60 minutes) have a decent shot at something close to a 40 on the verbal section of the GMAT. That's not an EXACT number, but if somebody is regularly missing close to 10 questions on their LSAT CR/RC sections, then a 40V probably isn't in the cards just yet.
And again, we're talking about an
entire section's worth of questions, so you'll need full, official LSAT practice tests to get that data. You can access 70+ official LSAT tests for $99/year on the LSAC test prep website:
https://www.lsac.org/lawhub. Alternatively, check out the the bottom of
this article for a link to a free official LSAT practice test, along with links to books containing numerous official practice tests.
I hope that helps a bit, and thank you for the excellent question!
