My goal is to get at least 150 to be able to be accepted into the JD Law program. i am not trying to get 160's +, I am just trying to break the 150's. I am consistently hitting the mid 140's on all Practice Tests I do. No matter what I do, it has not improved.... I understand where I make my mistakes, but I feel that I am falling under the time pressure. I can't seem to get faster, although i get majoirty or higher right on the problem sets. I am getting a consistent -12 on LR, usually -5 on LG and like -16 on RC. I havent studied too much on RC but I am going to really start crunching on that. Any tips or reccomendations would be greatly appreciated. I am beginning to doubt myself more than I already am. I am taking the test in January again!!
I began studying in August for about 6 hrs a day, although I was wroking 45+ a week, a full course load in college and playing collegiate soccer. So I understand I was definitely doing too much, but this was like an addiction. I felt guilty if I was doing anything, but LSAT. Please any tips would be greatly appreciated, I feel I have invested too much time and especially too much money to stop now.

With your schedule you may have burned out based on how long you been studying with that crazy schedule. Make sure to plan breaks and meditate or take 30 min naps as you need it. I had a similar issue where I couldn’t get through the last couple of questions because I was EXHAUSTED. This may or may not be your issue but assess your health status and see what may be causing issues.
In addition, make sure to do blind reviews and keep a wrong answer journal. It also sounds like you aren’t learning from your mistakes. Write down what question type you got wrong, why you didn’t choose the right answer and why you chose the wrong answer. Then write why the right answer is right and the wrong answer is wrong. This will force you to address your thought process and reconsider how you’re approaching certain questions.
Thank you for your reply! After taking a PT I usually take a little break and then review each answer in depth, either to confirm my thought process for the correct ones, and then to see where I went wrong for the others. I have begun to start documenting what type of questions I am getting wrong, but find it to be a little bit of everything. I think it would be best to go back and review the question types, but with taking it in January i am afraid i will not be able to go through enough of the information in time. SMH
