Self-study
Hello everyone,
I am taking the June LSAT, and I certainly overestimated my abilities, as I took a PT two weeks ago and scored 162. I took another a few days ago after studying a bit and scored 167, and now on drills and practice sections I'm scoring about -1 to -3 on both LR and RC. I've been studying 4 hours a day 7 days a week. I'm aiming for at least 173 but hopefully higher. Does anyone have experience improving that much in such a short time frame?? Or should i just resign myself to retaking later this year?
Thanks!

I increased 6 points from January to February LSAT, so I def think it's possible. But you need to really target the areas that are constantly giving you trouble. 7sage analytics are good for this "priorities by tag." drill those & stop taking pt's until you get consistently better at those question types.
another thing for me was fixing my timing as I was always running out and rushing the final questions. I used chatgpt to help me identify the question types I ultimately get right but consistently spend more time on. I export the test results as a pdf and upload - for instance it told me I was spending 2 minutes roughly per weaken and strengthen question which is way too long and was causing me to rush through other questions at the end of the section that I know well, but would miss simply due to limited time at the end. so I just drilled those strengthen and weaken until I got better & faster.
@Marcus91 The timing thing is a good tip. Thank you!
It's possible, but I'd recommend a longer time frame to give more realistic time for improvement. You want to be consistently testing a couple of points above your target, ideally. You might hit your goal in June, but it's going to be hard to feel confident about that in that time period.
@julielamberth that makes a lot of sense. I'm ofc going to try to make it work but I might have to retake it to be confident in my score.
