Hi,
I’m looking for an LSAT tutor who can help me reach at least a 173 by the September (ideally) or October administration.
On average, there is a 13-point difference between my timed scores and my blind review scores. I used PowerScore’s Logical Reasoning Bible to teach myself the fundamentals, and I’m also a philosophy major who has taken formal logic courses. I believe I understand most of the underlying skills necessary to score in the 170s, but I struggle to apply them consistently under timed conditions.
When I’m timed, I tend to freeze, make careless mistakes, second-guess myself, and change correct answers. I’ve documented at least ten instances in my wrong answer journal where I initially selected the correct answer and then changed it.
I’m looking for a tutor who can help me improve my timing, confidence, decision-making, and consistency under pressure—not simply reteach the foundational material (though I understand that might be necessary as well). Could also use some help on RC.

Hi — your profile is one of the most fixable ones out there, and I say that as good news. A 13-point timed/BR gap means the score is already in you; the ceiling is proven (172-175 BR). The work isn't reteaching LR fundamentals you clearly have — it's building the process and psychology to transfer that ceiling into timed conditions.
The things you're describing — freezing, careless mistakes, second-guessing, changing correct answers away from correct — are a specific, trainable pattern, not a knowledge gap. That ten-instance list in your wrong answer journal is actually a great sign: it means the points are right there. Closing that gap is mostly about decision rules (when to commit, when to move on, when NOT to touch an answer you've selected), timing systems that stop the freeze, and rebuilding trust in your first instinct under pressure. RC has its own version of this, and I'm happy to fold that in.
For background: I'm a 178 scorer, a former 7Sage tutor, and currently at Stanford Law. Hitting 173 by September/October is a realistic target given where your BR already sits. If you'd like to talk it through, email me at patrickjungsukoh@gmail.com and we can set up a consultation.
