I took my first LSAT in September and got a 161. I was averaging a 160 on PTs, so I was unsurprised with my score. Nevertheless, I knew I could score higher. After taking a month break from studying and mulling over whether I should take the time to retake the exam, I sat down and scored a high score on both my raw score and BR on the first PT back. I know this is PT 120, which isn't as similar to a real test as the PTs in the 150s, but I'm super stoked to keep going! Trust in God and send it! November here we come!

Hello! I've been studying for the LSAT for about 3 months, and the last month has been the most consistent (10-15 hours of studying a week). I started with a 156 diagnostic score on PT 158 in April. Since then, my score has only gotten worse. My most recent PT Score was a 151 with a 164 BR score. On drills, I'm getting consistently higher scores, and my confidence is increasing, but with my goal of a 172, I'm not sure if I'll make it by my current September Test date. The questions I have are: how many hours a week do I need to be studying to get my desired score? Do I need to push my test date back further? And any practice tips based on the info above?

Thanks!
