I scored a 171 on the official LSAT, and I'd love to help you achieve your target score.
As a non-native English speaker who balanced LSAT prep with undergraduate studies and an internship, I learned the most important lesson about this exam: consistent attention to detail is what the LSAT rewards.
Our sessions will focus on understanding why you missed questions. After each session, I'll provide personalized analyses of your work, identify recurring patterns in your mistakes, and design targeted drills based on the question types that challenge you the most. My goal is to help you develop a clear, systematic approach so you can truly learn from every mistake and improve efficiently.

Independent Tutor171 Tutor - I Track Every Mistake - $20/hour + free initial consultation
Hello everyone!
My name is João, and I scored a 171 on the June 2026 LSAT. I’m currently offering LSAT tutoring for students who want to improve their scores through a structured, analytical approach rather than simply taking more and more practice tests.
As a non-native English speaker, I’m particularly familiar with the challenges that can come with mastering Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. During my own preparation, I kept detailed records of my mistakes, identified recurring patterns, and created targeted drills to address the underlying weaknesses.
What I offer
Free initial consultation — We’ll look at your current performance and identify the areas with the most room for improvement.
Detailed PrepTest analysis — I’ll help identify recurring mistake patterns and why they’re happening.
Personalized drills — Practice specifically designed around your weaknesses.
Customized study plan — A focused plan built around your goals, schedule, and current score.
Logical Reasoning strategy — LR is my strongest area, and much of my approach focuses on developing a systematic way to analyze and eliminate answer choices.
My tutoring is especially suited for students currently scoring around 150–160 who are aiming to break into the 160s or 170s and want a more structured approach to their preparation.
Rate: $20/hour
Monthly package: $120 for 8 sessions (2 per week) — a $40 discount compared with the hourly rate.
If you’re interested, feel free to message me. I’d be happy to set up a free consultation and see whether I can help.

Hey!
A good approach for journaling is to:
1- create a document where you analyze each answer choice and write about what is wrong with each one of them in the questions you got wrong. it will probably be a big document, but it will allow you to (i) understand the PT/section you took in more detail and to (ii) identify the logical missteps you made
2- create a spreadsheet classifying each one of the mistakes you documented by question type. in this spreadsheet, it is good to create rules for each question type based on your PARTICULAR MISTAKES
3- apply the rules you learned on drills by question type. because an underrated part of having a wrong answer journal is applying what you learned. the feedback is more effective when you apply it.
Heyy! I just wanted to say that you still have plenty of time until October! I'm sure you can reach your score goal!
I also think the approach @PhoebeHopp suggested works really well for this kind of situation. Even when you feel like you understand the questions, the mistakes people make are often the result of mental patterns they keep repeating without realizing it.
If you take a step back and focus on a deep review, you'll be able to develop rules and notice things that you simply wouldn't have time to see under the pressure of a timed exam. Then, by drilling the question types you struggle with the most, you can reinforce those rules and gradually eliminate those recurring mistakes. I really think that kind of targeted practice can make a huge difference!
In my opinion the best way to avoid this is to have a consistent and accurate method of eliminating answer choices for each question type. It is great that you can identify the right answer easily sometimes, but if you want to make sure its the right one, eliminating all answer choices with a method that you are sure that works is something I would recommend a lot, specially on LR questions.
Hey! First off, I think you have plenty of time until October! I know the LSAT is stressful, but I'm sure you can find a way to reach the score you want. If you'd like, I think I can help you out!
An approach I suggest for people who are scoring in that range and need a breakthrough into the 160s is to do a deeper review in addition to a simple Blind Review. With a deep review, you identify the question types you miss most often and, through a detailed analysis of every answer choice for each question you got wrong, create rules and identify mistakes you shouldn't repeat. After that, you reinforce those rules with drills focused on those question types - that way when you approach those question types in actual PTs or timed sections, your mind will get used to applying them.
If you'd like, I can explain this approach in more detail (and applied to your actual results/data) during a free consultation. Let me know if you're interested!
@shyM DM'd you!
