Hello All,
I just wanted to say thank you to the community for this journey. My first LSAT diagnostic was a 141 and that was after working on some of the core curriculum. In June, I scored a 153--my PT average. I needed to make some changes to increase my score. Instead of going for volume of practice, I focused on quality and began to work with a tutor (shoutout to @Sami- she'll kick your butt). I also started doing blind review calls with J.Y. which was so helpful. RC was always my weakest section (we're talking -10 average); reading cases in constitutional law for my undergrad class forced me to grapple with difficult text which made LSAT RC manageable; read anything to get well rounded.
In September, I scored a 150. This was after scoring 161, 159, 161 on my last PT's Yeah, it was a terrible feeling but I didn't waste energy feeling bad for myself. From Sep-Nov I did some untimed practice to get back into it and then just really focused on timed sections; like two or three a day with fool proofing-- this was on top of undergraduate courses where I would do a lot of my reading. I only took 1 PT between Sep test and Nov test and scored a 161.
Don't lose your hope or confidence, put in the work, trust the system, and leave it all out there. I'm no LSAT master, but I am happy to answer questions or chat via PM if you need anything. It's the least I can do. Wishing everyone the best.
Lorenzo
