Usually grade my tests by hand (I've done probably done over 40 of them over the last few months), and today I randomly decided to use the grader on here. I had to blink a couple times when I read final score... 178. I'm used to scoring in the low 170s, so I was not expecting this. I had to re-grade by hand to make sure it wasn't a mistake.

I think I can attribute this to three things: (1) I had a really light week in terms of studying this week and went out last night, so I went in with a calm mindset (2) tried a new strategy on LR and RC that seemed to help me not get stuck on questions (I utilized something like the 25 in 25 strategy on here, only it was more like 25 in 30 for me) and (3) finally had a perfect games section on a PT. Feel encouraged! I started at a 162 five months ago.

Anyways, my family is sick of hearing me talk about the LSAT, so I thought I'd share this here.
