I have been consistently getting a 169 on my last four pts, before that I have scored in the low 170s before. I am trying to get into the low 170s but I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I can manage a -0/-1 on LR/RC during sections and intense drilling. But every time I improve on a certain area, I tend to regress on others I was much stronger in! I'm just trying to keep my LR/RC scores the same on sections vs full PTs. I'm planning on taking the August test and this recent plateau is very disappointing. tips?

Hi I am studying for the October exam. I just took a practice test I am stuck in the high 140s. I am trying to push to get over the hump. On my drills I am getting only 1-2 wrong but I can’t see to transfer it into my practice test. Help?? Any suggestions.

Going into the June LSAT I was averaging around 167 and ended up getting a whopping 159. I had never scored this low before. I knew that I was extremely anxious going into the exam (I panicked in the first section which didn’t help) and I had definitely been overworking myself (I took six PTs in the two weeks going into my exam), but I didn’t expect that large of a score drop.

I changed my studying routine going into August and have emphasized quality over quantity. I’m averaging around 170 and my last two PTs were 171. But I’m still very worried that I’m going to see another massive score drop this August LSAT. I have a hard time believing it was just a fluke. And I feel like I really need to take some measures to combat test anxiety going into this exam. Any advice? I’m putting so much weight onto this exam and the ptsd from last exam is getting to me lol.

Hi! I am currently scoring in the low 160s but in the mid 170s in BR. I'm looking for someone that is scoring in the 140s and low 150s and wanting to help them. Message below or me if you are interested!

Is it just about practicing to reach my BR score?

Hello everyone, I am taking my first LSAT August 8th, which is this Saturday. I have been going back and forth on whether or not I should take one more LSAT tomorrow morning. Due to my accommodations for the exam, there wasn't many available time options to schedule the in person exam at, so I was forced to chose 8:30am. I am not the kind of person who wakes up early, but I have gradually been trying to fix my sleep schedule this week to accommodate the early test time. On test day I will have to wake up at 6:30am, so I was thinking to take one last practice test tomorrow morning and wake up at 6:30 and take the PT at 8:30 to simulate early testing conditions. Is this a good idea to do so close to my exam or have I missed my chance to simulate this? I feel like one more practice test might be beneficial for me but have heard many people advise against this. Please let me know. and good luck to everyone else taking the exam this week. Thank you!

In the last week I have scored 169 and a 180 on PT and basically nothing in between. I feel like there are environmental factors influencing the lower scores, being noticeably tired or distracted, getting used to UI changes after a break. I am just anxious going into test day when it feels like a toss up between a life changing score and one that might not even get me into my desired school. I am not reaching for a 180 on the test, just hoping to score near the average of these, but any advice on reducing the impact of environmental factors/distractions or generally increasing consistency would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I use the SAGE AI feature in order to set up my drill settings. Lately, whenever I do this, the ai does not provide me with the link to get to the drill. I need to ask the chat multiple times for the link in order to get the link. This started to become an issue about 2 weeks ago. Before, I would tell the chatbot my drill setting and it would automatically give me a link. This issue wastes my monthly AI usage. Please fix or does anyone have a way to fix this issue?

Anyone have recommendations on the best earplugs to order and use for test day? Are they ones they allow you to use decent? I get distracted easily and want to make sure that I can do whatever possible to mitigate that. Thank you!

Hi! Im planning to take my next LSAT in October with the goal of scoring 160 or higher. Currently, I am sitting consistently in the 152-154 range. Given that my diagnostic was a 138, im very proud of my improvement so far, but I know I can do better. LR is my best section, sitting around 17-20 correct per section. RC is where I really struggle... -13/-14 haunts me daily. Last week I scored my first -9 on RC and almost broke an ankle from jumping for joy. Anyways... if you previously scored in the same range as me on RC and improved, please send me all your tips! Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!! I'm struggling to improve with RC and it's usually because of the time. I'm trying to do low res summaries of each paragraph and a brief review before getting into the questions but I end up with only around 3 minutes for the questions. Usually the last two questions I miss because I'm rushed. Anyone have random tricks that have been helpful? I saw a comment a few days ago about highlighting anything that seems like the author's opinion since there are usually questions on that, which has been a great piece of advice. Any other ideas? I take my first official test on Saturday!

WDYM I can't being in my reusable mug? It has to be a clear bottle with exactly ZERO words on it? My mug just says YETI on it! I was also planning on bring in some water with a vitamin/ caffeine mix in it, and I can't even do THAT?! I HATE LSAC.

My last PT before test day. 172. My overall average for PT's before this is 164. UMMMMMMM... what do I do with this information? Should I be excited or more anxious that I'm not going to test to my full potential this week?

Hi everyone! I am taking the LSAT this friday and have been experiencing some nervousness as the day gets closer! For context I have quite severe anxiety/anxiety disorders, but I've found myself today feeling "itchy" and having a hard time getting through a practice test today. I've completed half of it, and my goal was to review it tomorrow, study Wednesday, and have Thursday off before the test. But I don't know if I should just stop studying for the day, and complete the PT tmrw or just keep pushing through it today. I just feel nervous and uneasy and I don't want it to affect my confidence or performance. Any advice helps! :/ (last week I scored well on a PT and felt quite good about myself, what changed ?!)

Final PT Before August LSAT! Finally consistent in closing gaps between actual and BR!!!

Hey everyone! Recently I've been drilling many different question types but with a particular focus on flaw, NA, SA, strengthen, and weaken since I was told those are the most common question types on the exam. Is this true and are there any other common question types I should be making a point to nail down since I know not every question type appears at the same frequency.

Looking for tips on how to break out of my plateau. On my last 4 PTs, my first 3 scores have been 160 and my most recent was 161. I work a full-time job, and I have been studying for 1.5 hours in the morning every day before I start because I know my brain will work better before work than after work. In June, my score on the real deal was 159. I am taking August in a few days, and I am also signed up for September. Although it would be amazing to get 180, my goal at the moment is to simply just improve in general, even if only by a few points. If anyone can share how they broke out of this pattern, I'd appreciate it!

I have tried the method of predicting answers before I read the choices. Maybe I could be reviewing differently?

Hey everyone! I've been struggling to get my score up from 161. My blind reviews have been in the 170s, but my actual tests are stuck at a plateau. I think my big issue is timing. Does anyone have suggestions for improving timing? Especially for logical reasoning.

I've scored consistently in the 160s, 164-166, but I always imagined I would get a 170+. I'm taking the september LSAT and starting to feel like I won't be reaching my goal. On my last PT I only missed 2 on my LR Sections and I missed 8 on my RC section. Does anyone have advice?

When it finally clicks... Finished undergrad in May after being out of school for almost 20 years. (I went into the Air Force after HS, then into my profession.) Originally I planned to take the summer off then start studying, but I felt it was better to strike while the iron was hot. If anything, I'd get an idea of the areas where I was weak/strong. Since my degree was in IT with focuses in data analytics and health informatics, all of this was foreign for the most part. I started around 152-ish but hovered around the 158 mark since June. Having ADHD, I was more encouraged than worried. Personally I felt like I just needed to have that moment when my mind could lock in and find that strategy that made the questions come alive, rather than me just reading them. And when that happened I reinforced it, until it became personal. Me vs the questions! I test on the 7th. DIALED IN!!

Don't know if I should laugh or cry.. Is this real life?!?!

I am feeling so frustrated and defeated while drilling Reading Comprehension questions because, as suggested in lessons, I create a very low-res summary for each paragraph, and I do not just skim--I read thoroughly so that, allegedly, I don't have to go back and re-read several times. However, lately I finding my low-res summaries not helpful in the least because several question stems ask for specific dates, singular words, etc. So I am wondering what is the point of creating a very brief summary to reference for the questions when I still have to hurriedly search back through the text for all of these specific numbers, words, stated facts.

I didn't do well on my last PT, which is a contrast to my performance on the one before, where I did very well, my second-best score. My biggest drop is RC, which I am usually strong in.

Edit: I spend so much time and money on this, and what happens if it's all for nothing? What happens if I don't go to law school? What do I do?

Edit: I wanted to take the exam is Oct and thought since I was making improvements I could get a better score than I thoight I would but nope

RC is usually my weakness but I received a -3 on a practice section yesterday and then a -1 today. Sharing this it makes me feel happy and confident going into this week's exam and I love this supportive community!!!

For others struggling on RC, I've found that what has improved my score is not taking notes of the passages because it's a time guzzler (again, at least for me) and to spend more time reading them and the questions. I also have found that correct RC answer choices won't include information that's not in the passage, so allotting enough time to check the passage for what it states is key.
