I am taking the September 2026 test and am scoring in the high 160s. My goal is to score in the 170s. Currently, I feel a little lost in my studying with where I am. I realized I don't have many full fresh PTs left, so I have not been taking them regularly, and I also feel like I may be running low on fresh questions for my drills, especially for my high-priority question types. As a result, I feel like I have not been making much progress or utilizing my time effectively. For context, this upcoming test would be my last time taking the LSAT. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on direction? Anything is appreciated!

I was just here but now I'm scoring 170-174 pretty consistently. What I did was: I took a step back, started doing untimed sections again, and tried to find where I was really missing questions conceptually. I also found a few people on here who were scoring in the 178-180 range and just hopped on a zoom with them to see their process. Another thing is to use voice memos on iPhone and record your logic through a full untimed section (Record one at a time so it saves properly). Then I uploaded the transcripts into AI and prompt it to see where the gaps in my logic are. I would also ask it something like: "How would a 180 scorer done this question in comparison to me." It sounds like you may be relying a lot on intuition. When you force yourself to explain your reasoning out loud, you start using a trustable process rather than intuition. When I started using a strict process and paired it with my intuition, I got out of the high 160s. Hope this helps!
Happy to further elaborate over a zoom or phone call. Just DM me if interested. :)
Best of luck!
@Shardison This is great advice!
