😖 Frustrated

Hitting a road block

I have been studying for months for the LSAT and took it in November, where I got a 143. Did not want to keep a score that low, so I am taking it again in January. I have been working with a tutor to help since November, and took a practice test today where I scored a 135. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or how I'm not improving

  • start drilling one question at a time, start with questions that can be answered solely from the stimulus, drill drill drill, break all the ACS apart, slow and steady. it will truly make a difference.

    I'm not a 170 scorer yet, but I have seen a lot of improvement as a result of really taking the time to learn from my mistakes. I started with a similar baseline score, and have since been greatly improving my accuracy+overall score progressively within the past month. I recommend doing the following:

    Utilize a physical notebook as a wrong answer journal, and provide very detailed notes on what you did wrong as well as your solution, use the video explanations from 7sage to help guide you. As I mentioned, you need to really take careful time when doing this. Don't just write down things like "Reason Missed: Misread/did not understand the stimulus", instead make it more in depth "Reason Missed: Treated the word 'unless' as a sufficient condition instead of a necessary condition."

    Have you tried the foundations curriculum? I am going back through the core curriculum with a fine tooth comb and can see where I have fallen for trap answers. It may be helpful to delay the test and pour your time, talent, and treasure into the core curriculum. I am also supplementing the cc with LSAT LAB YT videos.
