I finally broke 170 today after quite a few tests stuck in the high 160s. I'm still aiming to score higher, but it feels really good to pass a notable benchmark.
What has gone well for you as of late? Anything click, or any personal records for scores on PTs, or any culinary successes in your procrasti-baking?

Finally....FINALLY got a -0 on logic games. I've been chasing that zero for way too long. I started at a -14 or -12 (don't quite remember, but it was baaaaddd). I've been slowly but surely improving and have consistently been getting a -1 or -2. So happy going into tomorrow to finally get that -0 and a boost of confidence!
Recently hit a personal best of 167 with -5 on logic games.
-5 doesn’t sound great, but I’m used to getting -8 or -10 (started at -12/-14 when I began foolproofing)
So this is a huge improvement for the work in foolproofing is paying off!
After a several month break following a 166 on the February test, my first PT back I hit a personal best of 176. October here we come!
I was looking through this word doc I made as I was going through the curriculum of patterns I'd noticed for wrong and right AC's as well as other things. Noticed that I had written 'causation is a time sink and goes against my intuition' under strengthen questions and I was like "not anymoreee, suck it past me." It's really the small victories that get you going and keep pushing to get to the big ones.
Not exactly where I am hoping to be yet. But started 7sage @ a diagnostic score of 134 & was horrified because I kept getting told you only improve about 10 points. I was questioning my abilities. I am now consistently scoring mid 150’s. And am still improving, as well as gaining confidence. Cannot wait till I see my first 160!
Got -1 on LR timed. Guys, this is magic. I also got my first 170 on timed PT tonight. It finally feels like it is possible
Got my first -0 on a fresh LR section this week along with my highest PT score. Now to get a -0 on a modern RC :lol:
I finally got -2 on timed LR section. Cant be more excited. I could have totally nailed the whole section.

Guys, I finally just broke 170 on a PT today, first time everrr! Woo! 171! June 11, here I come!
Congrats I also noticed that you said you've been scoring better on RC recently are you studying any differently for that section or do you just believe the time away helped everything really sink in?
Nope, haven’t changed anything. I think, weirdly, some of it was just time away. Although on this test, I went back to doing not so hot on RC. But I owned LR which made up for it. Same thing for LR too, for some reason, after the long break and a period of warming back up, suddenly I’m scoring better on it than I did before: ::shrug::

@leahbeuk911, That is awesome! Great work!

I just returned to the Hannah LG for the first time in probably 9-10 months. I was completely dumbfounded by it back then. It made perfect sense right away yesterday.
Been struggling with keeping my mind stable and focused during a timed PT for over a year; I would score way below what I do for timed sections. Broke through my mental anxiety during my last PT and jumped 10 points!
finally got my first perfect LR + -1 RC in the same test! this is huge considering my Feb 2018 test had -4 and -6, respectively.
also, i found a new favorite salad at sweetgreen. :)
S/O to all the people looking at this thread and being intimidated by all the 170+ success. 97% of takers will never sniff 170 so don't worry about it too much. That said, you can, with a lot of hard work, master this test and achieve the score you need for your goals.
Personal win of the week: -1 on my last LR section
@victoriaroman480240, A perfect score on a section is a great thing, especially the first time it happens! Good work!
@annemwolke218 and @estoutenburg25267, Really glad about both test results! Great work!
Went -0 on a LG games section yesterday for the first time!!
Also has nothing to do with the LSAT, but my oldest son just rocked a 32 on the ACT, which places him at the 97th percentile. Actually prouder of that than I will be of any LSAT score I might make.
Has nothing to do with the LSAT, but I just passed the Patent Bar Exam yesterday so I can work as a patent agent until I apply in fall of 2019 :) I figure I've earned a few days of vacation before I get back to LSAT prep!
Signed my first apartment lease, which will be near by the law school. Also came back from visiting Korea and now planning 0L prep!
After a few days of frustrating LG drilling sessions, I printed out like 50 pages worth of games to fool proof. I took a break from LG afterwards and have been drilling RC since. This morning, I got so frustrated with the RC drilling that I thought it might be more productive for me to take my mind off by fool proofing those games. I got perfect scores on three games and -1 on one of the games on the first try all under the recommended time limit and felt like I "owned" those games. I now have wasted 40 pages worth of printing paper/toner. I'm hoping for a similar, but highly unlikely, breakthrough for RC as I will most likely be drilling LR by the end of this week---probably out of frustration, again.
After many months of not being able to figure out LG, I'm now consistently scoring -4 and hope to bring it down to at least -1. That said, LR and RC need tons of work.
I recently re-started studying for the LSAT after deciding to push back a year and re-apply. After several months completely off of studying, I was very rusty and kind of panicking about it.
However, I finally got my mojo back and am back to scoring in the same range as I was before the break! And on top of that, weirdly, I seem to have actually gotten significantly better at LR and RC in the process? hahaha. I'm so confused, but I feel like somehow the time away gave me better perspective. I'm suddenly consistently scoring higher than I ever have in RC. And, I'm scoring slightly better than before in LR and consistently finishing sections with several minutes to spare, which for the first time ever has allowed me to actually go back and re-check circled questions (part of the reason my score is higher!).
Unfortunately, LG has been rough and I'm still worse than before. But I really think with some focused review and drilling, I'll get back to where I was. And if I do that, my score should end up being higher than before.
It's really strange. I don't think I was burned out, but it's like the break gave my brain some time to process and do the questions faster naturally instead of having to really grind on them. It's like the knowledge finally became habit instead of active thinking, and that has vastly improved my efficiency. Now if that dang LG would just come back, I'd be in great shape! Hahaha.
