LSAT · August Test Prep: Can I hit a 170+ in 4 months?

@Relay Aww, thanks a lot! No, I'm not using a translator; my English isn't bad, it's just not at a 100% native level.

I really appreciate the info you sent!

I'm not actually taking the test in June; I’m planning on the August test date. I just set it to June in the system so I can finish everything sooner. That way, I'll have more time to adjust if my practice test scores aren't where I want them to be after I finish the lessons. My actual test will be in August.

@Relay The reason I said I need the lessons is that, as far as I know, many of the questions involve 'tricks.' By learning these, it will be easier for me to answer the questions correctly. Since I am not a native English speaker, the reading passages might be more difficult for me than for native speakers. I was also wondering if there is a vocabulary resource for the LSAT, as I encounter many words I don't know, which makes the passages even harder to understand.

@Relay I’m following the 7Sage study plan. I chose June as my tentative test date, and the program divided the lessons and practice weeks for me accordingly. Since this is my first time, I really need to go through the lessons before starting the practice tests. However, I think taking a diagnostic test might be a good idea so I can focus on my weaknesses. I’ll likely have trouble with all sections; I don't think I'll be completely fine with any specific one yet. How should I use my score to improve? Also, regarding Blind Review, do I have unlimited time, or is that part timed as well?

@Relay To be honest, I haven't taken it yet. I know that's weird but I'm really scared of getting a really bad score and lose all my motivation. :(((

But I am studying 5-6 hours everyday.

August Test Prep: Can I hit a 170+ in 4 months?

Hey everyone,

I’m officially diving into my LSAT prep couple days ago, but I’m feeling the pressure because I’m gonna take the August test. That gives me exactly 4 months to get from zero to hero.

To be completely honest, I’m aiming for a 170+. I know that’s a massive goal for someone who literally just opened their books, and I’m oscillating between being super motivated and wondering if I’m being delusional.

Is a 170+ even possible in a 4-month window starting from scratch? I’d love to hear from anyone who has pulled off a big jump in a short timeframe. What did your study schedule look like, and how did you keep from burning out? I really need some real-talk ideas and some serious motivation to get me through this first week.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
