Hi all - I'm aiming to take the LSAT in Feb - May for the Fall 2027 application cycle, and this is my first full PT test. I took some LR sections before, but mainly have gone through the study plan/foundations that 7Sage created. I only really started buckling down and studying daily/with discipline within September.

I think I'm looking for...support? Reassurance? I am aiming for 170 or higher, so scoring 157 (albeit on my first PT, kind of a diagnostic, with no rush to take an official LSAT anytime soon) makes me nervous. I'm a perfectionist, struggle with imposter syndrome, and trying not to be discouraged, lol.

Logically, I can push off the test until August of 2027 of course, but is this a decent LSAT PT score to baseline off of? According to the analysis, I struggled on Conditional Translation in LR and "purpose" questions for RC Section 1.

It's kind of interesting to me that my score became better as the sections progressed, maybe I was really nervous for my first PT, and then calmed down as the questions came through?

Any thoughts, guidance, wisdom, encouragement, is welcome!
