with there being so many applicants, how do you really make your personal statement stand out amongst the crowd?

@Marcus91 definitely going to take your advice - I also struggle with weaken a bit. I'm getting better, but it's hard to stay sharp over the long duration of the test. I probably need to practice conditional diagramming more.

@Marcus91 see, RC is the easiest for me! Unfortunately, conditional reasoning, phenomenon-hypothesis, weaken and flaw/descriptive weakening seem to be my most "volatile" sections lol (according to my priorities tags). I usually get stuck between two answers. Picking the wrong ones, I get around 165. And then on blind review, I'm getting 173-176. I just seem to still be falling for the same trap answers, or overthink/psych myself out.

@julielamberth I seem to be having more issues with conditional logic/reasoning

I definitely think it's possible, but takes a lot of consistent work and practice. My first LSAT was in August 2025, and I scored a 154. I was able to raise it to a 160 by October (2 months later). That being said, a 6-8 point jump is significant by LSAT standards. A 10-15 point jump would be difficult by June, improbable but not impossible. I would personally wait until August if you can.

I am now aiming to take again in June, and trying to get consistent scores between 166-174.

@Laurenlax21 no worries! I’d love to study with you!
