first i want to say believe in yourself, trust yourself, and if i can do it ANYONE CAN!
I always see people post like this and never believe i can do it. Take some time to read my journey, i hope it encourages you just as much as others have done for me!
i started my journey taking the apr2025 lsat, not studying at all, thinking i would best the test. well i got a 141… i then went on to take it in september of the same year, this time i studied on lsat demon for free for like a month. only studying when it was convenient, no plan, barely any prep… well in sep 2025 i got a 148 WHO’S SURPRISED?? i sure wasn’t, although i was hoping for a miracle.
i was obsessed with starting law school in 2026 because i wanted to feel accomplished, so i signed up for the february 2026 test. in december of 2025 i started studying… (i know, HAVE I LEARNED NOTHING??) again kindve on a convenience schedule. i bought the lsat trainer (which didnt help me much) then in february 2026 i got a 153….
i threw my application into a few law schools just to see what would happen. i got into some, but since it was so late in the cycle i was offered basically PENNIES. i decided then that i got a 153 off of BARELY STUDYING, not making the test a priority, so it was time for a change.
i vowed starting JUNE 1st, i would study everyday not just when it was convenient. studying needed to become a priority. from june 1st my diagnostic was a 155. i paid the $70 subscription for 7sage and used the loophole by ellen cassidy simultaneously. i would study 2-3 hours after getting off my full time job and around 4 hours on the weekend while working part time.
i then signed up for the oct test. Seeing this 167 today was by far the biggest surprise. i waited until the end of the day to have my mom check it for me. i was scared to face the reality of this time i actually put in the effort to still see no progression. but i did!
i say all this to say, make the LSAT a priority if law school is what you want! CRY IF ITS WHAT YOU NEED! I can’t tell you how many times i’ve cried or thought i was an idiot. YOURE NOT AN IDIOT! You can do anything you set your mind to, let me be an example and the epitome of if i can do it anyone can.
lastly please feel free to text me if you want any details on my study pattern. i am no LSAT PRODIGY but i do think i had a good schedule down that fit my needs. you’re all going to do great, good luck in your LSAT journeys.

i also just want to say never did i ever believe a 167 would have been possible for me, my goal score was just to achieve a 159. and that in my october LSAT i had multiple proctor interruptions, so i was STUNNED to see this score
