Self-study
Hello! I am a high performing student who is willing to work hard, but I have yet to break into the 170s. I am able to perform relatively consistently on RC (I have been averaging around -2 on my last few sections), but I have found that my LR sections can vary dramatically. There have been times I have gotten -1, times where I have gotten -4, and times where I have gotten -7. I started seriously studying in mid-May, and I feel like I am struggling with my mentality more than anything else. I have seen that I can do well in sections, but I don't know how to make that a consistent result. I took the LSAT earlier this month, and my goal is to take it again in August. I am open to pay a reasonable rate!

Hi!
If you’re still looking for a tutor, I offer one-on-one sessions along with a free consultation where we can go over your current score and goals. I was admitted to the bar in 2025 and have been tutoring since 2020. I’ve helped multiple students reach 180 and many others into the 170s, and I’d love to help you get there too.

Hi Gabriella,
I think I can help with exactly what you're describing.
What stands out to me is not so much the fact that you've scored anywhere from -1 to -7 in LR, but rather the size of that range. When a student is capable of producing very strong LR sections but struggles to do so consistently, I generally want to take a close look at the process being used to approach the section and identify where that process is breaking down from one test to the next.
A large part of my tutoring focuses on building a stronger top-down structure for approaching Logical Reasoning. The goal is to create a repeatable process that can be applied consistently under timed conditions, seamlessly account for the question-by-question specifics and also making it easier to identify exactly where and why mistakes are occurring when they do happen.
Once that structure is in place, we can usually start isolating recurring patterns in the questions, reasoning methods, answer choices, and execution decisions that are contributing to score fluctuations.
I also place a lot of emphasis on helping students understand what to work on between sessions so that improvement continues throughout the week and not just during tutoring meetings.
Based on what you've described, I do think your August goal is realistic, and I'd be happy to discuss your situation in a little more detail if you're interested.
Kind Regards,
Scott
