149 diagnostic → 159 🥹
third time really is the charm 😭 i’ve tried studying for the LSAT three separate times now. the first time, i started way too early and eventually fell off. the second time, i was a full-time student, working two part-time jobs, and juggling all of my student orgs and extracurriculars, so studying consistently just wasn’t realistic.
this time, i finally committed to it w the help of 7sage and a tutor. i just scored a 159 on a full timed practice test 🥹 10 points higher than my diagnostic!!! i’m so close to breaking 160 and genuinely so proud of myself because there were sooo many times i felt like i wasn’t improving or that i just wasn’t good at this test.
third time’s a charm fr 🥹📚⚖️ 160+ i’m coming for youuuuu. if anyone has any advice for my last month of studying before my officia test in oct pls lmk
honestly the biggest difference this time has been consistency and actually reviewing WHY i’m getting questions wrong instead of just doing a million questions 😭 i started keeping a really detailed WRITTEN wrong answer journal and for every question i miss i break down my thought process, why i picked what i picked, why it was wrong, why the right answer is right, and what i need to do differently next time. i also started working with a tutor which has helped me figure out patterns in what i’m struggling with.
but i completely understand what you mean because i’ve had the SAME issue where my drilling and BR show that i understand the material way better, but then my timed score doesn’t reflect it 😭 i’m learning that understanding the test and being able to consistently apply that understanding under time pressure are two different skills. i’ve also realized some of my timed misses are literally from misreading or rushing rather than not understanding the question.
so right now i’m focusing less on chasing a certain PT score every time and more on figuring out why i’m losing points and trying not to repeat the same mistakes. we’re both taking october so hopefully it all comes together for us on test day 😭🤞🏼
