Self-paced
Hey guys,
I have been at the LSAT for about 2 months. Got a diagnostic of 156 and now average in the low 170s in my drills but honestly, I dont know how to improve my score from -2/-3 per LR section. It's like I make a new mistake every single time and I dont have an apparent question type weakness or anything as such.
If any of you have been through something similar and managed to get to -0 or -1, please let me know.

Hello!
First of all, getting -2/-3 per LR section is fantastic, especially considering you have only been studying for about two months! Even if it feels like you're making a brand new mistake every time without an apparent pattern, there is always a concrete takeaway.
Imagine seeing that exact same question again: what specific action will you take to not repeat the mistake? For instance, did you misinterpret or not know the meaning of a specific phrase? If so, define it so you never miss it again. Or did you skip over a tiny but crucial detail in the stimulus? If so, create a rule for yourself to actively focus on small detail when reading.
On the other hand, in my opinion, getting scattered, unpredictable questions wrong in practice is a good thing. I know this won't be easy, but I highly recommend you seeing wrong answers as gold, not as negative indicators; they are actual opportunities to fix your mistakes or refine your logical gear. If you have seen that exact question on the real exam, you would've lost your point, so how wonderful is it to catch it in practice instead? Every mistake you catch in a practice test is a point saved on the actual exam.
I hope this helps, and good luck!
