So I'm re-taking my test in march of 202 but I don't know what to study anymore since the October LSAT didn't disclose what sections we did poorly on. I studied religiously up till the night of the LSAT and was consistently scoring between 162- 171. If anyone wants to form a study group or know how to study for this problem.

Was test anxiety a factor? We're here for you. Keep working on this test and we'll be on the journey together.
What was your process?
Don't get down I Crack under pressure too. I've had days where I don't miss a thing and days where I get a 138. Mindset is so huge with all of this.
Wow. I am SO sorry that had to happen! That sounds like the absolute LSAT nightmare :(
What I think:
Assess your timing - is it really under time constraints that you are scoring 170?
Are you nervous? I feel like this was due to nerves
What was your state of mind the day of the exam? Were you focused? Were you rushing? Were you overthinking?
Was your mind blah? And by this I mean did you overwork yourself to the point where your mind just stops absorbing information? It could be a burnout. After the november exam I crashed. Like my brain would not absorb anything at all that was LSAT related. I was also really tired.
I think you should retake, and WHEN you score higher, you might have to write an adendum for the lower LSAT score (saying it was neves or whatever), depending on where you apply. If I rush or read carelessly or am super nervous my score can drop 10+ points. My score dropped 6pts on the day of my test, so theres that.
Were you surprised to see 142? Or did you panic that day and find yourself skipping and rushing through questions?
If you were testing that high, it probably means that this 142 was an accident. Take a PT, BR it, assess your weaknesses and go from there!
When you were consistently scoring up that high, were you taking the tests untimed?
If you were scoring that highly and then got a 142, sounds like you just had a disaster of a day. The bright side is your knowledge is there. Sounds like you need to emphasize test conditions in your study and get better rest.
