Self-study
Hey everybody, a few months back I made a post about how I was applying with my 146 LSAT and hoping for the best and would keep you guys updated. Fast forward, I got rejected and waitlisted from every school I applied to, felt defeated, and on the last day to sign up, signed up for the April 11 LSAT.
The reason I’m writing this is because I’ve been so down on myself the past few months thinking that it was pretty hopeless for me to get in anywhere or to drastically improve my score enough in such a short amount of time to make a difference for this admission cycle. This morning I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I just received my 154 LSAT score (8 point improvement!!) and I’m thrilled to be able to send out letters of continued interest.
It may seem impossible, but keep on working. This program really helped me stay focused and improve my score drastically. I hope I could serve as some point of motivation for someone who feels their LSAT score is way too low, I improved mine this much in a matter of two months, you can do this!
I needed a platform to share my excitement, because no one in my life really understands how much this means to me, or understands how big of a jump in score this really is. Wishing you all the best on your own journeys!
Update: I just got two acceptances, one of them offering a scholarship of $160,000. Let this be a reminder ALL OF YOU CAN DO THIS

wow that is amazing im so glad you had the courage to actually write this for us. I have been staying and actually my last exam I scored what you scored and signed up for the June exam. ive been studying but feeling so discouraged I am going to take what you said you did and apply it to how ive been working. hoping for the best for you !!! and thanks for sharing!
First of all, congratulations this is huge! Wishing you success!
Second, how did your practice look like? Did you just follow the study plan available here on 7Sage, or where there other approaches you took during that time?
@marchagu I stopped focusing on practice tests as a whole, and started doing 1 timed section a day, and review thoroughly afterwards. 1 week was all RC, the next was all LR. Once I was scoring consistently on those, I felt more confident knowing the test itself would be about endurance rather than my actual understanding. Definitely would mix in practice tests here and there, but they destroyed my confidence leading up to my Jan exam so I stayed away completely when I started up studying again in February
@Jake. thank you so much, I will definitely take that approach moving forward.
Congratulations! Similar situation. I am hoping to be ready to re-test August or September. Which program/tier did you do?
@sharlawalton07 core!
Congrats! I got in luckily two schools with a 150. Waiting to hear from 2 more.
@THS congratulations! I’ve had 2 schools that rejected me initially decide to move me to their waitlist. Sitting at 4 waitlists, 2 rejections, and 1 where I never got a decision still. Waiting game is brutal but if only takes one!
Congratulations and thank you for sharing!!
