Hey all,
I realized a little while ago that I needed help studying and got a tutor (planning to take the June 2024 test). I thought it was going well, but I took my first practice test in a while and got a 153 (my lowest score since my diagnostic test, and way below my average of 160). Is this a normal thing when starting tutoring? I get that I'm relearning how to take the test and knew there would be bumps in the road, but I'm kind of worried about it. I ended up getting questions wrong that I was 99% sure I got right, and thought I was using everything I learned in tutoring. I still have a month and plenty of sessions before the test, but I just wanted to see if anyone else had this experience and if it's a normal thing.

Hello,
I wouldn't be too worried :) It all depends on the PT you took.. some PT's are definitely harder than others which is why you could have scored lower. Also, I feel once I got a tutor I had to retrain my brain the correct way of learning the LSAT rather then before I was doing my own ways. I would revisit that PT and really understand what went wrong and if that PT was more or less hard for others. I would keep studying and trust the process :) sometimes it get worse before it gets better.
First, it's really normal to have fluctuations in test scores. Fluctuations could be caused by anything from poor sleep to higher stress. Second, I would not let one data point sway you on whether your tutor is the reason for the lower score. If a scientist told you that burgers lower anxiety because a participant felt calmer after eating a burger, you'd probably (and rightly) tell them that's a bad argument.
