Good news! This is doable! Depending on how much time you have to study per day, it is feasible. Have you checked out the study plan through 7 sage? They offer great analytics and have drills set up to the most impactful parts of the LSAT to improve your score.
From reading other 7 sage responses, the best way to improve is to drill, drill, drill. The strategy I have learned from others is to start with simple questions and consistently get those questions correct and then move to harder questions as you improve.
The individuals that have increased their scores about 6 or 7 points are drilling at least 4-5 hours a day. The study plan is great at providing a plan that will be feasible to meet your goals; it can provide a general picture of what it would take to meet your goals and what a timeline would look like.
Other 7 sage'ers mention the quality of their study time to be an obstacle, and they worry they keep repeating the same mistakes while drilling, and so there are different ways to support your learning to be focused and productive. Personally, I work through my wrong answers and then pretend I have to teach someone the concept and typically see the mistakes, and then practice the right concept.
It is a slow, grind type of process, but it is doable and feasible! You got this!
Congrats!!! Great to hear these stories! Drilling seems to be the answer to help with your score! I was wondering whether I should keep practicing by drilling, and if it would really improve my score?
Best wishes on your law school journey!
I am on this journey with RC, too. The two ways I am working to improve are by getting faster with the low-res summaries, so that they become more intuitive, and then active reading. Active reading is summarizing, questioning, and identifying the structure with the author's intent. I have been getting caught up in the details of the arguments rather than the arguments themselves. Happy studying!
I'm a millennial looking for a career change, therefore all of my LOR's are from previous supervisors/managers that have worked with me directly. In the LOR's they talk about my intellectual capacity and commitment/rigor etc. that you mention above. My impression overall is that law school applications are looking for you to be the most honest, so I'm assuming that whatever environment reflects you as an individual most appropriately would be the environment that is closest to you in time and scale.
The previous comment mentioned that having a professor LOR is mainly recommended if you are coming from college/university, and I have read/heard the same thing.
Sounds like you are on the right track. I have watched several youtube videos from admissions panels and they state similar suggestions, so I believe you are on the right track.
Best of luck on your journey!
