I know a lot of people personally and on this platform that believe jumping up a lot in score is out of reach. I got a 159 in June of 2025 and today I got my August score back and saw a 176. To literally anyone and everyone that needs to hear this, let me serve as proof that you CAN make that jump. There is no barrier that hard work can’t break down. Keep at it and don’t give up on yourself, even for a second. Anyone who wants to follow up with me regarding studying tips or even mental advice for tests feel free. I believe in all of you.

First off, congrats!!! Second, do you have any study tips on someone who's taking the September LSAT? For context, I'm scoring in the high 160s, scored one 170, but consistently scoring 180 (or slightly less) in BR. I think my biggest issue by far is overthinking, and also getting stuck for a moment on questions then letting that mental fatigue drag down my reasoning. I don't want to overstudy in the next few weeks, but I truly believe I can break that 170 barrier if I make some mental adjustments. Any tips on how you'd move forward for the next few?
Also, is there anything that significantly changed in your study habits or mental processes between June and August? Thanks so much!!
@spindlynoodles Hey! Yeah ig if you are scoring so well on BR then knowing the material isn’t really your issue. This may not help but you really just have to trust yourself and eliminate answers you know to be wrong. Say you come down to 2 answer choices (which was often the case for me when I was in your position) I would always tell myself that if i could poke holes in one the 2 ACs then i knew which one to eliminate. So i know it sounds obvious but really just trust yourself.
Following! would love to hear what you changed in your study process and what you found to be the most effective
@lollipoppy Well there was a whole year in between exams so def a lot of changed. I took 2 official LSATs in 2025, scoring a 163 then dipping to a 159. The biggest change I made after that was then doing the full 7sage curriculum. My first two attempts were completely self taught. Although, obviously, I did begin my 7sage journey with a mid to low 160s level understanding of the test. And then something I found to be really effective was practice full timed sections only once I got comfortable enough with the material, and then using quick tricks like logical force to answers. For example if there’s a MBT question and i’m down to 2 choices and one of them contains a some statement whereas the other is an all or most statement, choosing the some statement because of lower logical force.
