Self-study
This is still a very good score for me, but the fact that just a few months of consistent studying can basically guarantee you a score in the mid 150's, thus granting you entry into a decent law school... Let's just say if you told me this was possible when I was starting out I wouldn't have believed you. So to all the self-doubters, to all the ones who took a gap year because they kept questioning if they were really cut out for this or not, I remind you not to give up, your future self will thank you.

Congratulations on your achievement and thank you for the encouragement.
This is where I am starting, and this gives me hope! Did you start on drills right away or wait?
@hopefullsatcrusher Nope, did core curriculum and the drills in there first. Then do drills. I think I did 500 questions before I touched my first full section, by then I was averaging in the mid 150's per section, sometimes higher. Then full PT's. Make sure you're timing is improving too.
@BrandonJager03 Thank you!!!
For anyone asking me for tips, DO YOUR CORE CURRICULUM, not all of it is great, but like 75% is super useful so just skip the stuff you know (like they tell you to do). You want to go through this quick, take some notes, but you really want to start drilling as soon as possible. The practice blocks are okay on the study plan, but you can really just do the drills from the practice section tab that auto adapt. Do this an hour a day at least. Spend 30 minutes at least reviewing concepts you're struggling with out of the questions you just took. After your first few weeks of drilling, start doing whole timed sections, then after a month of drilling and sections start doing one full PT a week. Aim for at least one to two hours a day if you're studying 7 days a week, and two to three hours if you're studying 5 days a week. If you're shooting for 165+, I recommend 6 months prep time and 5 hours a day 6 days a week. Best of luck to everyone this cycle!
@BrandonJager03 This is more for LR, I did not struggle much with RC even since I started LSAT prep, but I am assuming double your study time and put that extra time into RC if you struggle on RC.
@BrandonJager03 Yea BTW my diagnostic had one LR section 6/25. Not -6, 6/25. Correct. Improvement is possible.
Congratulations this is very motivating
very motivating!
What was your strategy. Did you do the study plan , join the live sessions , tutoring or self studied ?
@Abbybee Wondering the same!
@Abbybee do all of the above. consistency and discipline is key. find what is the most helpful for you and stick to it.
@Abbybee One of the biggest tips I can give beyond doing the thing and making sure you're putting your whole self forward when you study is striving to self evaluate yourself well as you progress and being honest rather than trying to sugar coat things. For many people that is easier to do with a tutor but, even then, it still holds true short of you doing all of your studying with a tutor at your side.
and lots of room for some easy improvement bc of those 1/2/3 level questions missed. Keep it up!!
Turning it up a notch! Thank you
Thanks for the motivation! We got this!! ✨
I needed to hear this thank you
is it with normal timing? or 100% timing extra
