I had a friend who told me that everyone has something interesting to say about themselves, and for a long time I wasn't a big believer in that. I thought that I could never think of a good personal statement because my life was too normal and boring, but I whipped one up and after ps swapping with a lot of people the past two days, I definitely feel a lot more inspired so I wanted to pass that on to anyone who was feeling the way I did.

I didn't think my statement was anything special, but I've gotten pretty positive feedback which has given me more confidence, and everyone's I've read has also been great! Even if the writing isn't 100% there yet, every single topic that I've read about has been super unique and so different from my own point of view, and now I really do believe that everyone has something they could write about to make a great personal statement. So good luck!! And feel free to let me know if you want to ps swap :)

Hello,

I got a 170 on the June LSAT and want to try to retake it in Sept with a 175+ ideally. I burned through all PTs studying for June, averaged around 173 from the 26 most recent tests reaching 178 twice, but it seems like I need a new game plan to really get to that next level consistently.

As for the breakdown for the June test: I missed 5 in RC (usually I miss around 0-3 - I was not expecting how hard the June RC would be), 2 in LG (I should not have missed those given how easy that section was, in PTs I miss around 0-1 but I am afraid the next test will have a harder LG which might stump me so I will definitely try to drill games until I can 100% stop making stupid mistakes), and LR I missed 1 each (usually I miss around 0-2 per section).

So far all I am planning is retaking PTs 60-81 and doing a better job blind reviewing and analyzing the questions re: making sure I know my thought process and that I can eliminate every wrong answer. Does anyone have any other ideas or how I should focus based on the info above? I'm definitely open to suggestions and what has worked for people. I'm just kind of stumped at how to make a study schedule at the moment to get what I'm shooting for.

Thanks!
