Hi Kevin🤗

I have been in a similar position with feeling discouraged, I took about a year off between attempts (November 2024- September 2025) I studied all summer, at least 4 or 5 hours per day (with rest days of course) and was prep testing with a projection of a 10 point increase, but I was really hard on myself and took too many prep tests and my score actually went down by a point even though that was the most I had studied. Burnout. You really need to just get into a routine that works for you personally. I know people who studied aggressively and got amazing scores but that wasn't right for me. You need to sleep and take multiple rest days per week and not let LSAT dictate your mood. I think that when I retake it this next time, I will improve just because I remembered to take care of myself. Also, it sounds corny but everyone really does have their own path and I can guarantee you, there are hundreds of law schools that will accept you with the score you already have. You will be a lawyer regardless of what score you get, this is just a little hurdle in the grand scheme of things!
