    If you're aiming for a 160, withdraw from the September test. Start studying, PT when you're ready + BR those PTs. Then, when you've scored in the 160+ range a few times, register for the upcoming exam.

    @hongsophia009962 The LSAT tests your perseverance, don't give up! It's possible. Spend lots of time getting to know the basic foundation and then drill, drill, drill. You will develop your own "style" (example: which questions to skip, when you fill in answers, how you diagram etc.) for the test with practice :)

    Yeah, don't beat yourself up. Nobody understands just how hard the LSAT is at first, and what you're feeling is something of a right of passage almost. Welcome to it, and know you're in good company with how you're feeling. The LSAT is going to knock you on your ass repeatedly, so get used to it:)

    I second what everyone says about withdrawing from this Saturday. That is 100% the right move.

    I'd also add a few suggestions for study strategies going forward:

    First and foremost, stop taking PTs. PTing is a fairly advanced phase of study, and you're only just getting started.

    Instead, get on some curriculum. The LSAT has to be learned. You're not going to get any better just by taking practice tests. So whether it's 7Sage or something else, learn the test before you take any more PTs.

    do not shame yourself. i started with 143 diagnostic after having some familiarity with games. it takes time, a lot of time, a lot of nerves, sleepless nights and rhetorical questions whether you should give up on this idea. its okay if you do give up. its okay if you do not. whatever is your choice, just be happy with it!

    You could get there by December. But it is okay if you don't. It takes some much longer to understand things than others. Don't put a date on your target, you will know when you are ready. But don't rush it!

    @476.rizeq Don't waste a take.

    Seconded! Study for a score, not a test date. Take it when you are ready

    Too early to tell how you will do in December, but if you want a 160 and are only in the 140s currently, you shouldn't be taking this Saturday. Don't waste a take.

    What is your current study method and do you have access to at least 40 PTs?
