Hello All,
I just wanted to say thank you to the community for this journey. My first LSAT diagnostic was a 141 and that was after working on some of the core curriculum. In June, I scored a 153--my PT average. I needed to make some changes to increase my score. Instead of going for volume of practice, I focused on quality and began to work with a tutor (shoutout to @Sami- she'll kick your butt). I also started doing blind review calls with J.Y. which was so helpful. RC was always my weakest section (we're talking -10 average); reading cases in constitutional law for my undergrad class forced me to grapple with difficult text which made LSAT RC manageable; read anything to get well rounded.
In September, I scored a 150. This was after scoring 161, 159, 161 on my last PT's Yeah, it was a terrible feeling but I didn't waste energy feeling bad for myself. From Sep-Nov I did some untimed practice to get back into it and then just really focused on timed sections; like two or three a day with fool proofing-- this was on top of undergraduate courses where I would do a lot of my reading. I only took 1 PT between Sep test and Nov test and scored a 161.
Don't lose your hope or confidence, put in the work, trust the system, and leave it all out there. I'm no LSAT master, but I am happy to answer questions or chat via PM if you need anything. It's the least I can do. Wishing everyone the best.

Awesome!
Congrats!
@dianao6512815 I would average around 15-20 hours a week while I was taking classes and ramping it up a little more during the summer. I'll echo the advice I was given: it is not the hours so much as it is the quality of study. Getting closer to the exam I would wake up, do 3 or 4 games and foolproof the if I wasn't fully comfortable. Then would work on timed sections and do breakdown of those to see where I was wasting a lot of time. After implementing a skipping strategy I jumped 5 points right away. I would only take a PT every 2 or 3 weeks, just to measure my progress. Look on the forums of the webinars for more info on the skipping strategy.
Congrats! How much studying did you do for this increase? I am trying to get around a 20 point increase as well, but I do not have years to do it, and it seems like so many people see that big of an increase only after 1-2 years of studying. (diagnostic 150, trying to get to 170)
Great job! 💪
What an accomplishment! You put in the work and the fruit of your labor unfolded. Best wishes!
Congratulations!!
Congratulations on your success. The road from 141 to 162 must feel great after traveling it. You're inspiration to a struggling beginner. Thanks and good luck in law school!
