I have only been studying since late May and take my first (and hopefully only) official LSAT Friday. That being said, my studying has gone well, and I have had 3 PTs at or above my goal score and have seen more consistency on sections in the past month. However, I have been told that people often score lower on test day than they do on PTs. I know this will obviously vary from person to person, but have you experienced worse performance on test day than you do on PTs, or have you scored within your practice range on the real deal?

I started studying 3 weeks ago and scored a 172 on the diagnostic. Since then, I have scored 172 on a practice test and performed better on individual sections. I have been encouraged to take the LSAT in early August, but I have performed worse than I'd like on priority drills and am worried I will not be prepared that quickly to achieve my goal score of 175. Looking for advice on the test date and improving within this score range!
