Ive been studying for the LSAT for a few months now and following plans, watching videos, drilling questions and sections, and I just cant seem to get the hang of it. My confidence for this has been completely shot making it harder for me to put my all into practice test and I just feel very defeated. Im taking the LSAT in November and my score hasn't improved that much. Any advice out there?

Hi there! It sounds like you might benefit from switching up your approach a bit, instead of just doing more practice. I’d suggest taking a short break first, then looking back at your recent sections to see where your mistakes are coming from. Are they due to misunderstanding the concept, misreading, running out of time, or maybe second-guessing yourself? Try picking one issue that comes up a lot and focus on it with some small, untimed drills. Once you feel more comfortable, you can go back to timed sections.
And don’t feel like you have to keep taking full practice tests, especially if your confidence is low right now. Sometimes, really digging into one test and learning from your mistakes is much more helpful than doing a bunch of tests that just leave you feeling discouraged. If you haven’t seen improvement yet, that doesn’t mean you can’t improve. It probably just means you haven’t quite found the specific habits that are holding your score back yet.
