Self-study
Hi! I’ve been self-studying for the LSAT since January. I started with the Insight LSAT YouTube course to build fundamentals, then worked through The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy, supplementing both with LawHub Advantage PTs. This month, I also added 7Sage for drilling and analytics.
I’m registered for the June exam and starting to feel a bit stuck/panicked. My highest timed PT has been a 166, with recent scores mostly in the low 160s, but my blind review scores are consistently in the mid-170s. The reasoning ability seems to be there — I’m just struggling to close the gap under timed conditions.
I’m hoping a few hours of tutoring could help me strengthen my strategy, improve timing/execution, and better translate my understanding into my timed performance. I’m aiming for the highest score possible for scholarship opportunities, and I know my current timed scores don’t fully reflect my potential.
If anyone thinks they could help and has availability before the June exam, please comment or message me! I’m also definitely on a budget haha, so even a few targeted sessions/advice would be hugely appreciated.

Hi Ayalah, I have some open availability ahead of the June LSAT! Sending you a DM.
@DaliaGolovco thank you!
Just Dm'd you! Would be happy to help!
@BryceN thank you!!
Hi Ayalah,
The fact that your blind review scores are consistently landing in the mid-170s is a very encouraging sign. That tells me the underlying reasoning ability is already there and that the bigger issue is likely consistency in execution under timed conditions.
This is often fixed through highly structured, repeatable processes that create consistency under pressure. Sometimes those processes operate at the broader section level, and sometimes they’re specific to particular question types/passages. Usually we have to look at both levels to identify where timing and execution are breaking down.
And the good news is that this is often much easier to improve than trying to build the reasoning ability from scratch.
A 166 with BR scores in the 170s definitely suggests we could bring about meaningful improvement before June, and it also means that we could find and fix the issues relatively quickly!

@SCOTT_LEBO Thank you so much for this thoughtful response! Messaging you now - I'd love to set up a few tutoring sessions before June if our schedules align!
