Self-paced
Hello everyone,
I just got my official score of 150 from my June LSAT. While I am slightly disappointed with my score I am planning on taking it again in September. I'm reaching out today for advice from people who significantly improved on a second test.
Any advice on how to change my ways of study or approaching the test/study will help!

Hello!
I agree with @hhernan20228 about identifying your weakness and focusing on improving them. Look closely at the pattern of your choices during review. Ask yourself: Why did I discard the correct AC, and why did I choose the wrong AC instead? Your wrong answer journal will be most useful to you when you use it as an opportunity to build and refine your strategies.
Also, I don't know how you have been using PrepTests, but I highly recommend taking them in one sitting to simulate the actual exam environment. For example, when I didn't practice doing 2.5-hour exams, during my first real attempt, my brain went on strike by the time I reached the fourth section. Only after I regularly simulated the actual exam time did I stop feeling fatigued at the end.
I hope this helps, and good luck!
I went from 148 to 161 (I also plan to take it again lol). My best advice is to identify your weaknesses and focus on them. Also, pay attention to the frequency of each question type on the exam and focus on the most frequent. Also, after every PT that I took, I went through and made a tally list of question types I got wrong. The following few days, I focused solely on those, running drills of increasing difficulty and reviewing the foundational lessons as needed. Also, try to make mental notes of common logical fallacies that are present in each question type. Not all of them have a set list, but there are definitely patterns. My last piece of advice is to take PTs under similar conditions to the real test. Don't pause, take the timed breaks, set up your work area like the real thing, and limit distractions. It helps calm nerves during the actual test because it just feels like another PT. I wish you the best of luck on your next test, and I hope these suggestions help at least a little!! You've got this!!
