Hii! So sorry for not getting back to you earlier. I started studying earlier in the morning, and my brain is basically only focused on studying and then rushing to get ready for work lol! But I’ll definitely take this into account — thanks a bunch :) I think focusing on just improving one point/one question at a time really helps make the task feel less daunting, fs.
My boyfriend also gave me a great suggestion, so I thought I’d share it in case you or anyone else might want to implement it! Basically, while taking a section, you rate how confident you felt answering each question on a scale of 1–5. That way, you’re not spending extra time during your study session writing out a whole explanation, but you can still get a sense of which question types you feel more comfortable with, which ones click faster, etc. I thought it was a pretty cool way to track things without making the process feel even more overwhelming.
Hi everyone! Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is doing well :)
I just took a timed LR section + BR this morning, and I am frustrated to say the least lol! I scored a 16/25, but on BR I was able to bump that up to a 23/25.
I typically score around the 17–20 range on LR, so while I know a 16 isn’t representative of where I normally am, it was still frustrating to see. At the same time, I’m really happy with the improvement I’ve made throughout the year and I do feel confident in my understanding of the material. I think where I really struggle is time management and trusting my initial answer.
I feel like I’ve been getting caught in these overthinking loops more and more, especially as I’ve gotten further into my LSAT studying “journey.” I have a feeling it might be linked to my anxiety + ADHD (from my understanding, anxiety can sometimes contribute to that kind of overthinking), but I’m trying my best to work on that as well.
With the October LSAT coming up, I’m trying to keep my spirits high and just keep pushing. I’m hoping to conclude my testing by the end of this year, so I think part of me is feeling the pressure a little more now that I’m getting closer to the finish line. I know I’ve made a lot of progress over the past year, but ngl, this is something I’m really struggling with and it does worry me a littleee bit.
If anyone has any tips for time management, trusting your first instinct, or breaking out of those overthinking loops, I would really appreciate it!!

Hi stranger! First of all, if you're already in the 160s only five months in, that's already a huge accomplishment!! I wouldn't let the plateau get you down too much. The LSAT is like the gym, and whenever I hit a plateau in the gym, it doesn't necessarily mean my progress has stalled- it just means I need to work a little harder toward the next step because my “baseline” has changed.
In regard to the motivation part, a little tough love: relying on motivation won't get you very far with this exam. I'm not saying you need to force yourself to study on the days when your brain isn't registering absolutely anything (I've had my fair share of those). What I am saying is that some days you might just be tired and talk yourself out of studying, even though, deep down, you know you can at least do an hour. I also try to keep myself occupied with other things that aren't the LSAT, or consume other LSAT-related content outside of my study sessions (YouTube, TikTok, podcasts, etc.). That way, I'm not oversaturated with LSAT content, and I avoid the temptation to compare myself to others on a journey that is so different for every individual. Finally- you are "cut out" for law school- don't be your biggest enemy! Doubting yourself is normal but don't let the anxiety creep in. You got this :)
The purpose of P2 is to sneak diss the Comms specialists.
