Self-study
Hi,
I'm preparing for the September LSAT with a target in the 175+ range.
Quick context: I started with a 136. I've been studying for about three months and my blind review scores are consistently high now (168-172), but my timed scores sit in the low 150s. So my gap isn't content knowledge. It's execution under time, decision-discipline (I tend to find the right answer and then talk myself out of it), and reading speed, since English is my second language and I never studied it academically. RC is my biggest point-loss area; LR is stronger. I'm Portuguese, my education was between Portugal, Brazil and the US (but I'm not used to standardized tests). And I have a Law degree already (but, thank god, we don't do LSATs in Europe)
I'm looking for targeted help on exactly those things rather than a from-scratch curriculum. I'd want to understand how you'd approach this kind of timed-vs-untimed gap, and roughly how many sessions you'd suggest given my timeline.
Thanks,
Mariana

Hey! I’m from Brazil!! I guess we could schedule a free consultation in Portuguese if you’re interested! I scored a 171 on the LSAT and I’ve developed some solid approaches for timing.
It’s great that you’re already reaching the 170s in your blind reviews! Really understanding question types is often the hardest part. I’m confident we could work together to develop effective strategies to help you improve your timing even further and I am sure you will be able to achieve your goal score until september!
Hi! 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.
