Hey guys, so I've been studying for about 2-3 months straight. I scored a 141 on the January LSAT, 125 on the June LSAT, and I'm scheduled to take the October 10th LSAT. My most recent PT (earlier this week) was a 143. It's not a huge jump but I'm glad there's been improvement. I've finished the foundations section of the study plan, and have been working through the LR and RC sections in the morning and Practice Block sections in the evening. I know it's unlikely to score in the high 150s and above, but I believe I can at least score a 150 or high 140s. I know there's a school out there who will take a chance on me. Maybe it's good delusion, but I believe in myself too much to reschedule for another LSAT. This is the one! Does anyone have tips for improvement they'd like to share? Or maybe words of encouragement? It took a lot for me to share this so be nice please!!! Peace and love to everyone who comes across this post!

Don’t take the test. You are clearly not ready. Not only are you paying for a bad score, you are using up one of your attempts. Don’t take my message the wrong way, im not trying to kick you while your down, but you need to open your eyes to reality. Even if there’s a school out there willing to take a 140-150, you are likely to be paying full tuition for a degree from a school that has low employment outcomes. TLDR: take more time. it’s better to take a extra year to study than to go through with a bad score and accumulating debt for a degree that won’t make finding employment easy.
Thank you for your honest advice.
Also, it never hurts to take more time off before applying as long as you’re not wasting it. More experience and a higher score can only help your application.
First, any progress is impressive and serves as great motivation to keep going! I would say to Blind Review those sections/drills to see how much foundational knowledge you still need to build bc that should come before working on timing. I find it helpful to study as strategically as possible - try to find out exactly why you are missing questions.. is it certain question types, are you second guessing yourself, misunderstanding the question stem, etc. Pinpoint you're weaknesses and go after them strategically... and don't give up!!! You never know when your breakthrough moment will be!!!
Thank you, I won't be giving up at all. I'll be using your tips for sure, see you at the top!
Hi! Try drilling 5 questions at a time or doing sections. You may see improvement quickly that way. Full prep tests often just ended up exhausting me to the point it felt like I was just going through the motions. If you can translate the questions to something that applies to you, it makes it easier to understand. For ex: on the Sept. LSAT I got a question talking about ppl who are game regularly and those who never do. So I thought of it like gamers = my boyfriend non-gamers = me and it really helped me parse through the dense language (if that makes sense 😊).
Stay positive too, mindset really is everything!!
