Hardest prep tests?

I know this has been asked prior but in light of 93 being released, anyone have their take on the hardest prep tests available to us currently? I've heard a lot about the high 80s and especially 84 but I wondered if there was a general consensus, despite the subjective nature of the experience. I got a 172 on 84 but I am curious if it was just easy/fluke or, if like some of the Reddit analyses I've read, it really was a difficult test for many.

Pre-Phrasing is not perfect, but certainly can aid in eliminating questions. I am looking for Question Types that work very consistently with Pre-Phrasing. Below is a list of Questions Types that I believe work consistently, but I would love to create a discussion and get additional perspectives.

Main Point/Conclusion

Argument Part

Fill-In

Flaw

Parallel Flaw

Method of Reasoning

Parallel Method of Reasoning

Point of Agreement

Point of Disagreement

Counter

Contradiction

HELP PLEASE!

I took my first official LSAT in October and I definitely did not do as good as I knew I could've. I was super nervous and I blacked out at the second section and I felt so disappointed in myself that I low-key gave up on the other sections, prompting me to get a score of 152. I'm going to take it again in January and hopefully I won't be as nervous and really be able to use my brain, knowledge, and skills I've learned for the past 8 months of studying.

SO, what should I do, should I cancel my 152 or keep it? I want to go to USC Gould and I know the LSAT range is a lot higher than what I got, but I know the next time I take it I'm giving it my all and not second-guessing myself as much as I did. So what do you guys suggest?

Offering Free Tutoring

Howdy! Just hit my target score of 173 on the October LSAT - first attempt after 4 months of study. I worked with an incredible tutor to get here and I wanted to pass that forward. I haven't professionally tutored before so I'd like to offer some free tutoring to gain experience and see how I feel about it. I want to work with people aiming to score at their highest potential no matter what it takes :) I have some hours in the day to currently devote to this so please feel free to get in touch!

LSAT Writing and LSAT Scores

I am scheduled to write the November LSAT this Saturday and I still don't feel completely ready for it. I have not yet written my LSAT writing and haven't looked into it yet as I have been pretty focused on studying for the LSAT itself. I know there is the option to write the LSAT writing after the exam, but you may not receive your LSAT score until your writing sample is completed. Although the application deadline to my top two school choices is Dec 1, but I am waiting to get my score back to decide (depending on my score) if I want to cancel it and rewrite for the January exam. I am wondering how long it usually takes for LSAT score to come back and if I would be setting myself up by waiting and writing my written portion after my exam Saturday.

Any advice for someone whose score has been plateuing? I've been scoring in the low 160s consistently and just want to hear from those who have improved from this point. The questions I'm getting wrong are evenly spread out amongst the sections.

Where should I start?

Hi, everyone, I'm new here! I've been studying for the LSAT for a couple months now (went through the Logic Games Bible and have taken about 5 practice tests - averaging 162, goal is 170), and so I'm wondering where I should start here. Given that I have only about two months until the January LSAT, should I work through the Core Curriculum, or should I take a PT to see where I'm weak and work on those specific areas?

I'd love to hear any advice anyone has.

Hey guys I could use some advice. I've been on the fence about signing up for my LSAT in either January or February and I am currently scoring between 159-161 with my BR ranging from 165 - 167. My goal score is a 165 but I'm not sure how far out in advance I should sign up for the test as this will be my very first one. Do I go ahead and sign up and aim to make the necessary improvements between now and Jan/Feb or wait until I've done so with my PT's? I'm also not sure what my study plan should look like between now and then if I do go ahead and sign up. I plan on applying for the next cycle so I am not in a rush to get my score sent to any schools right now. Any helpful advice about testing dates and study plans would be greatly appreciated!

Can I use an iPad

Can we use an ipad on the digital lsats? I'm confused how we're supposed to highlight or do any marking quickly if we have to use a mouse on a laptop rather than a stylus that can function like a pen

Hi,

I've been keeping track of all my answers that I've gotten wrong on PTs and in the CC, and hoping to make some drills to go back and do them a second time. I've already made a drill using 44 of the questions, but I can't edit it to be shorter/longer after creation, and any other drill I want I have to go through and input each individual question I got wrong in the CC.

Is there a faster way to do this that I don't know about? Maybe a way of creating custom tags/making all of these questions available in a certain spot to make a drill of any particular size?

I need help

Hi, I am international and my official lsat score is 173. My friend said that the higher the lsat score is the better. In my recent last pt score is 176~178, so should I take again? I have a reservation for the November exam. Does 176 and 173 make a lot of difference? It's so stressful to take the lsat again. I spent more than three years of my time and effort until I was almost 153 to 173.Please give me some advice.Thank you :)

Seeking Advice

I'm in need of some advice. I initially took the LSAT in February 2020. I had no knowledge of the test and received some poor advice that I should take it blindly and see what I get. I scored a 142. I knew that I needed to retake it. I studied for some time, and in October 2021 I retook it. I cancelled the score because I didn't feel good about it. Then I took November 2021 and scored a 152. I was happy with the increase, but it was still not near my goal of 165+ so I decided to take another year to study. This time, I took the September 2022 test and only scored a 156. After what feels like forever studying for this test, I did not get as close to the score range I was PTing. I feel like I have screwed myself because of my previous takes. I know law schools frown upon taking the test over 3-4 times. I'm not sure what to do next.

To sum it up: (142 > Cancel > 152 > 156)

I have a good GPA, nothing that will compensate for a poor LSAT but it's still decent. I'm not interested in any T14 schools, most I have looked into are in the 25-50 range, which I know my score is still on the low end for. I cannot take another gap year to study. I plan on applying this month and November, so my options would be to apply to schools now to get my applications in, and take either January or February 2023, or totally roll the dice applying earlyish with a 156. I have ADHD, and I've struggled with this test both mentally and emotionally and I'm not sure if it would be worth it to take a 5th time. If you can offer me any sort of guidance I will be grateful! Thanks for taking the time to read this!
