@ I have been hearing amazing things about the Loophole book and will be purchasing it for sure. That's amazing though from a 142 to a 153, in no time you will get to where you want to be.

I think the only reason why I am being hard on myself is because I really want to apply again this fall for 2021 admissions, but I know that I should concentrate on achieving the exam score that I need.

@ Yes I do keep a journal I will DM you everything that I have, ah sorry forgot to write that out with each section score.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some advice because I feel lost, speechless and honestly I am not sure what to do next. I have never really posted on a forum before so here it goes.

I diagnosed at a 135 and then I studied for about 6 months for the LSAT and I was taking practice exams and my scores ranged from the lowest being 145 to 150. I intended to take the January 2020 exam hoping for a 150 (this isn't the score I am truly aiming for). I aimed for a 150 because I was trying to see whether or not I may have a chance because I had applied to a few Canadian law schools. My overall GPA for my degree is 3.2 and my best two years (also my last two years) are overall a 3.4. Overall, I have outstanding volunteer experience, work and internship experience, I have also gotten my research essay published and received an award.

Originally, I aimed to score a 161 on this exam, but I decided to take the exam anyway in hopes of getting a 150 and maybe a Canadian school may consider me (still not sure as I have not heard anything back).

I took the January exam and scored a 146. I wasn't upset at first but now I am. I am not upset at the score that I received, I am upset because I don't know how to move forward from here in terms of how do I raise my score? I have had a hard personal life and I don't have anyone to go to, to seek advice, or someone to guide me on how to improve on this exam and this is why I come to you all. I know if I can work hard, I will get in.

Here is a little bit of information on how I study and how much I score on each section usually:

LG: BY FAR MY BEST SECTION, while taking the exam timed I usually get a 11 or 14 out of 23. When I blind review, I get 17 out of 23 or 22 out of 23.

LR: I really hate this section. It is literally hit and miss for me. Timed, I usually get a 8 or 13 out of 26. When I blind review, I get 14 or 15 out of 26.

RC: This section is also hit and miss. Timed, I usually get 12/27. Sometimes I blind review and most times I don't because I am not sure how it helps, but if I do blind review, I get 15/27.

I WISH I COULD SEE WHAT I GOT ON EACH SECTION FOR THE JAN 2020 EXAM

I have used 7sage, Kaplan, Powerscore LSAT Bibles, YouTube. Do you guys recommend I ask a tutor here on 7sage? Should I go through CC again? An outline of advice would be really helpful.

Extra Information: When I studied for 6 months, I didn't have a job (I was looking for one) I found it extremely challenging to focus. Now, I work at a really great job, its full-time from 8 am to 4pm (I also have the option of going in at 7-3 or 9-5). It is not a lot of work and I literally do my job and leave (its clerical work). Usually after work I am pretty energetic, so I feel like I could either study in the morning or afternoon after work. I get weekends off.

I come to you all with complete sincerity and desperation. Please if anyone can advise me on how to move forward and what to do next, I would honestly appreciate it from my heart. Like I said again, I don't have anyone to ask for help and I come to you all because I hear 7sage is an amazing family with lots of love and encouragement.

Thank you!

Ron
