Can’t believe it really happened, I had given up on the LSAT twice in the last 5 years and my last real score was a 167. Absolutely could not have pulled this off without those LG videos. Thanks J.Y.!

@ I started by reading the Fox Primer and that gave me a good handle on the format of the whole test from the very beginning - my scores after that were in the mid-high 160s consistently. After that it was a matter of perfecting games. I worked through the entire LG Bible, repeating games several times when I struggled. From there I started getting low 170s but would still mess up LG sections pretty badly and drop down into the 160s every once in a while. What got me really consistent PTing at 175+ was a few weeks of drilling a section or two of LG a day and immediately watching JY's LG videos and working through what I'd done wrong. I worked through games from PT30ish to PT70ish like that and then was consistently -0/-2 on games. At that point I PT'd anywhere from 173-180 and it was just a matter of reviewing, watching 7sage videos for RC passages and LR questions I struggled with, and trying to stay in a good headspace/not start getting desperate when a test felt like it wasn't going well. Hope this helps!

Spivey posted LSAT registration stats on reddit last week and interestingly, there’s been a big drop in LSAT registrations (June 2020 is down ~25% from June 2019 iirc). It’s possible that deferrals and R&R will increase the competitiveness of the next cycle, and it’s possible there’ll be a surge in July, August, and October registrations, but at this point it’s also entirely possible that fewer people are taking the LSAT and applying for fall 2021 admission. Next cycle might not be much more competitive at all.

Completely agree with Jonathan that you should never ED unless there's a guaranteed scholarship (e.g. Northwestern's ED program). Whether your timeline is realistic depends on your goal score and where you are now. Have you taken a diagnostic yet, and do you have a good idea of your relative strengths and weaknesses? If the answer to those questions is yes, you may not have to adhere so strictly to the schedule but rather focus on the areas where you need the most work. For example, I started studying at the beginning of March for the June date, and didn't have nearly enough time to do a whole structured course. Instead, I focused only on my most troubling section (games, which a lot of people think is the easiest section to perfect) to get within striking distance of my goal score and then worked on improving my stronger sections after that. That strategy might not work for you if games isn't your weakest section or if you're starting from zero on all three sections, but it's something to think about.

I had the same problem and found that my LR and RC scores were relatively consistent but on LG I would be anywhere from -0 to -12 depending on the test. Once I drilled games enough to get consistently -0 my full length test scores steadied out a lot to about a 5 point range rather than a 15 point range like I'd originally had. If you aren't consistently -0 on games I'd suggest starting there because it's generally regarded as the easiest section to perfect, and then after that you can focus on getting faster at RC, working through the LR question types that give you trouble, etc.

To prep for June I've been doing the 60s 70s and 80s PTs in a randomized order so I don't get too comfortable with any series of PTs and get a good spread of more and less recent ones every week, two a week.

I had this exact same issue - been taking the 60s, 70s, and 80s PTs in a mostly randomized order and my score dropped significanly when I took my first couple tests in the 80s. I was averaging ~173 on 60s and 70s tests but then got 168 and 165 on PT 88 and 85, respectively. Like lexxx said above, I don't think they're necessarily harder, but they are different and take some getting used to. Just make sure you do really in depth review, and watch the 7sage video explanations for the reading passages and LR questions you struggled with. That was pretty much all I did and then my scores jumped right back up on the next two 80s PTs I took (these were 82 and 83, so someone feel free to correct me if these are particularly easy or something).
@ I started studying for the LSAT in late 2015 when I was in college, really only read the Fox Primer and then took 5 PTs over the course of two months that were in the range of 165-169, took the real thing, got a 167, and decided not to go to law school.
In late 2017, I started studying for the LSAT again because I wanted a career change. Over the course of another month or two I worked throught the Logic Games Bible and accompanying workbook (my only problem at this point was logic games). I took 2 or 3 practice tests and was very inconsistent in the 165-173 range. Didn't feel like I was progressing the way I wanted to, gave up.
This year a number of personal factors led me to be extremely motivated to apply to law school. I worked back through the Logic Games bible over the course of two weeks, took 5 PTs that again were inconsistent in the 165-173 range, but this time was determined to perfect games as it was the only thing creating inconsistency for me. I spent about a month only drilling full games sections (usually one or two sections per day but sometimes as many as four on a day I wasn't working). I watched JY's videos for every game and reworked the ones I struggled with. After that, over the course of another month and a half I would go back and redo games sections I struggled on, do recent reading sections and watch videos for them, and watch videos for LR problems I found hard on full-length PTs. Throughout this entire period I was taking 2 full length PTs a week with an average of 175 (and across the last 10, like 178). I took 21 PTs total - every PT from 72-89 plus 63 and 66. I randomized the PT order but most people recommend taking them in order.
