Hi there! I’ve been studying with 7Sage for the LSAT since the beginning of September (prior to that I read a prep book for a month) with an initial diagnostic of 160. Since then, my altogether score hasn’t improved and is often lower than my diagnostic, hovering in the high 150s. If I slow down and take my time, I get more answers right, but miss answering the last few questions. I speed up and answer all questions, my accuracy tanks to bring me right back to where I was. In terms of study habits, I study for about 30 min-2 hours a day every day depending on availability, doing a mix of untimed drills, timed sections, and the occasional PT. I tried using the targeted drills, but to be honest the answers I miss are so random that there really isn’t a pattern of concepts I am continually getting dinged on so it didn’t help much. I mostly miss Level 4 and 5 questions, but I occasionally (frustratingly!) miss a Level 3 or even 2. So basically, my question is this: is it normal to have not improved at all (even gotten marginally worse) in 2 months? Do I need to be doing something different? Do I need to be studying differently? For those who were stuck in the high 150’s and low 160’s, what got you out of your plateau? Did you get a tutor or change your study routine? I’d love to hear. I’m planning on taking the LSAT in January. Thanks!

I am currently finding (after a month of serious study and a month of reading a textbook) that honestly my most missed questions are between question numbers 10 and 20. Generally around the 13-18 range. So like the level 3-4 questions. I’m glad to hear I’m not alone!
