I initially started studying for the LSAT on "LSAT Demon", mostly taking practice tests, in June. I was averaging out at about a 165, but my highest test score was a 169 right before I took the actual LSAT in August. On that test, I scored a 163. I was devastated. It completed knocked the wind out of my sails and I didn't study for all the rest of August and most of September.
I just started studying here on "7Sage" last week, as I am scheduled to take the October LSAT. On my first day of "7Sage", I took a practice test and scored a 161. When I initially studied for the LSAT, I was doing around one practice test a week, with very little other studying. Now, here on "7Sage", I've been doing around 6 hours of studying a day, mimimum, and it seems like I keep doing worse and worse. I always get at least 5 questions wrong in each section, and my drilling accuracy is 80%. Why am I getting worse? How do I fix this most efficiently? Because I am willing to do all the work necessary, but I also don't want to burn out, and it seems like "more studying" just isn't working, even though I always review every answer I get wrong.

Too funny, we've gone through a similar order of things. I started 7Sage three weeks ago or so. I took my first LSAT November 2024 after weeks of grinding test after test (with honestly zero theory/instructional component). I went from low-mid 150s to high 160s and even reached the low 170s. Come test day I get a 160. Coming back after that was near impossible. Since then I've been mustering up the energy to a) figure out what happened and b) put even more effort into the next LSAT. I figured the time to jump back in was three weeks ago. Took a diagnostic LR section before diving into the core curriculum, missed 7. But after these past three weeks of really understanding the test block-by-block and doing zero questions, I'm getting out of the hump. I got a 168 and felt pretty calm doing it. This is to say you may be going through the same kind of burnout. In which case I advise taking at least three months away from the LSAT even if this pushes your lawyer dreams back a year, and doing the core curriculum as if you've never seen an LSAT before. Just speaking as a test taker in a similar-looking boat. Good luck.
