I have taken the LSAT 3 times after studying consistently and stayed around mid 140s. Truly I have been embarrassed to even post that this is where I am stuck but I plan to take the April LSAT and still haven't seen any improvement after studying full time since beginning of January. I am not entirely opposed to tutoring but really want to do it on my own because it is just too expensive. I have changed my studying techniques after doing research and asking for other peoples way to study but I still feel like I am not improving. If anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi!! I am also taking the November LSAT and have taken them in the past but my scores were not where I wanted them to be so I deferred a year to keep studying and apply this fall. I understand you being scared or nervous especially with it coming up this week I am as well but your scores are good as you said and just because the practice score went down does not mean you cannot get another 170 or more! I just keep telling myself I have put in the time and effort my scores are showing that there is no reason I will not do well next week. I do recommend to take a day or two before the test off do things that help you relax... I am still also studying now but I am seeing it as an opportunity to gain more points not see what I know. I dont recommend taking anymore practice test because you will stress yourself out. You put in the work and it will pay off be positive :)
what tips does anyone have when trying to study if you feel like you cannot focus on what your am reading. I was taking a prep test today and had to reread questions over and over again till I just took a break and now I am working on these types of questions to still continue learning
this was so hard to blind review for me I really thought B was the right answer but then blind reviewing was hard so I thought my answer was still right
should you spend more time while taking the questions or more time during blind review? I have been contemplating this while studying all of the question types, I tend to change/second guess myself during blind review and trying to get better at it. Any suggestions?
I am really struggling with these, I have even pulled up the old notes on how to know what is a premise or a conclusion. From using those I knew this was a conclusion but D's wordiness is what confused me, I really dont know what else to do with these questions I have gotten maybe 2 right this whole unit
picked E during drill then changed to D during blind review, my main goal right now is to take drills and be able to completely know what answer is right without a doubt. If anyone has pointers please let me know.
when you guys are doing these questions what are you asking yourself to look for the right answer? I keep picking the answer that would be sufficient not a necessity because I am thinking what is the back door to ruin the argument but thats not working. #help
so does the subject not matter in these kinds of questions, I remember doing other questions and JY would say this is not the subject we are talking about so we dont care what it says (which is what I did and canceled C out) I see why C is right now but want to make sure my approach is right. #help
@ I have done the curriculum and practice tests, I do great with drills but for someone reason I go to take a test its like I have no progress. I appreciate your feedback
did you just do drills or a full practice test at the easier level to harder? I am definitely going to try this as I dont see much change in my score
are people reviewing if they got the questions right or just if they got them wrong? I am trying to make sure I am studying the most efficient way
If I am starting to get questions wrong at first but then right during blind review what steps should I be taking to get them right the first attempt?
what am I doing wrong if I am getting all the You Try questions right during this unit but then get a lot of the drills wrong? I keep feeling like I see the light at the end of the tunnel then its gone
I literally picked C then last second changed to B but seeing how many people picked it as well made me feel better
