😣 FREAKING OUT

How do I get above a 160 score?

This is my second post regarding this issue, because I really need some help here. I am studying between 4 and 8 hours everyday, and I can't seem to get above a 160. This is odd for me, as in July I was scoring up to 169s. Every practice section I do, I get between 4 and 5 questions wrong, without fail. I don't know what else to do beyond drilling and reviewing my incorrect answers. Please send help and specific tips! I take the LSAT again in less than two weeks and I cannot afford to get below a 165, and I feel like incredibly lost as to what more I can do.

Not a professional here by any means, but what I've heard when touring law schools is that really only your top score matters!

Based on what I heard, score removal through score preview is not worth it unless you scored 5 points or more lower than your original score.

Congrats on a 170+ score btw! That is incredibly impressive! Wishing you the best on your next score!

😞 Hopeless

Why am I doing worse on the LSAT?

I initially started studying for the LSAT on "LSAT Demon", mostly taking practice tests, in June. I was averaging out at about a 165, but my highest test score was a 169 right before I took the actual LSAT in August. On that test, I scored a 163. I was devastated. It completed knocked the wind out of my sails and I didn't study for all the rest of August and most of September.

I just started studying here on "7Sage" last week, as I am scheduled to take the October LSAT. On my first day of "7Sage", I took a practice test and scored a 161. When I initially studied for the LSAT, I was doing around one practice test a week, with very little other studying. Now, here on "7Sage", I've been doing around 6 hours of studying a day, mimimum, and it seems like I keep doing worse and worse. I always get at least 5 questions wrong in each section, and my drilling accuracy is 80%. Why am I getting worse? How do I fix this most efficiently? Because I am willing to do all the work necessary, but I also don't want to burn out, and it seems like "more studying" just isn't working, even though I always review every answer I get wrong.
