😖 Frustrated
I just scored a 167 on PT158 -- How to close the gap between actual score and blind review??
Hi y'all!! Just took my last PT before the August LSAT and scored my highest yet-- but still shy of my 170 goal. As you can see, there's a pretty significant gap between actual score and BR, which is consistent with almost every PT I take.
Does anyone have advice for closing the gap between actual score and BR?? I don't know whether to attribute it to test fatigue or the fact that I take way longer on my weakest question types (conditional reasoning nerfs me). Any advice from people who have scored similarly/gotten over this hurdle would be much appreciated!
Good luck to everyone taking the August LSAT, I believe in us!! :)

Hey! Was in a similar situation to you, with an average 10 point gap between actual and BR score. Here is how I approached it:
I worked on my weakest question type, not only through drilling, but through reviewing my thought process on the questions (both right and wrong) in PTs and sections to see how I was thinking about them in the moment versus how I should have been thinking about them.
After I had gotten the hang my weakest question type, I focused on taking sections & PTs to get myself very used to thinking under timed conditions
@AddisonMiller How long did it take you to close that gap? Thanks!
@AddisonMiller thank you!! :)) were you doing timed drills for your weakest question type?
@watersofmarch I did untimed! My logic was that you can’t go fast until you can go slow. I did a mix of question difficulties, but focused on getting 100% accuracy and identifying how the LSAT wanted me to think about the question.
@tuplr it hasn’t been until the last few of weeks. It helped me most to really focus on doing timed sections with intense BR so I could finally get used to applying what I had learned during untimed drills.
@jgoogs Ahh thank you!! Your LR scores are awesomeeee I get burnt out with LR so fast
I aspire to even make it to your first pass score haha.
Well done.
@Gregmjr Aw thank you haha! I'm cheering you on!!
