First, I'm sorry for the pain you're experiencing right now. I know for a fact that you want to be a lawyer because you wouldn't put yourself through this torture if you didn't want it. So now, we need to figure out what to do to improve. I suggest doing this:
Allow yourself to feel: This is a very painful feeling. Take time to scream, cuss, cry, talk to loved ones, and simply sit with this emotion. Going through this emotional response is the first step towards progress.
Assess: This is the part where things get really real. Look over PT's, drills, and notes. Ask yourself if you really understand each section of the exam. Did you get a question right before looking at the right answer? Did you know how to structure that game before looking at the set-up? Were you able to synthesize that passage effectively?
Go back to the fundamentals: Look over the fundamental components of each section of the exam. Then do it again. Then do it one more time. This will be the foundation of your growth towards a better score.
Drill: Start drilling with your newly established fundamentals. Start with drilling untimed then gradually start incorporating a timed component. Timing yourself will be the next major step towards enforcing your skillset within the expectations of the actual LSAT.
Drill full sections and eventually full PT's: This is where everything comes together. You will slowly see all your hard work pay off through increased PT scores. Don't focus on getting a 175 right away, just focus on getting one more question correct each time.
Blind review: Don't forget to blind review each PT! This is by far the most important step towards getting a higher score. I can't stress enough how important blind reviewing is.
I know this is a terribly painful time, but the good news is you're still alive, which means you have an opportunity to improve. Please, don't be too hard on yourself, you're fully capable of achieving the score you want. Now, take some time to gather yourself, and get back at it. We're all behind you!
