Self-study
Hi everyone!
If you're feeling stuck at a plateau or just overwhelmed by the amount of content on the LSAT, you are not alone. I've been in your shoes, starting with a 155 diagnostic and a 2-month-long plateau in the 160s. It took a lot of trial and error before I earned my 174 official score. Now that my LSAT journey is over, I'm here to help others in the community along theirs.
Why work with me?
Performance on the LSAT is dependent on habits. Together, we’ll focus on the 'why' behind your answer choices and analyze your specific thought process rather than just explaining why the right answer is correct. We will:
Diagnose gaps in reasoning and refine your thought process
Break down the answer choices that tempted you
Discover the repeatable patterns in LR and RC and build your intuition for the exam
Support Between Sessions
Studying for the LSAT happens 24/7, not just during our calls. My students always have access to me via text or email at no extra charge. If a problem isn't making sense or you need a bit of guidance, I’m available!

I have 9 openings at $50/hour. I'm happy to chat with anyone interested.
Happy studying!
Firstly, hitting a 168 is awesome! And the fact that you're able to find a pattern in what's going on is a good sign. The hardest part at this point is usually figuring out where you're going wrong.
I was stuck in the same situation when I was in the mid-160s, and what really helped me when I was in between answer choices was asking myself if I could point to the exact reason my original answer is supported, and the exact reason why the other answer was wrong. If I was able to answer both those questions, I kept my answer. If I found something wrong, I changed it. And if neither of those applied, I took the bet and stuck with the original answer. Approaching problems algorithmically eventually took the decision paralysis and the anxiety that comes with that away.
With regards to confidence and question types, really take the time to drill the question types you feel least confident about and talk through your logic. Sometimes, when taking the LSAT, we get so caught up in our heads that we inevitably skip a step in our logic. Talking out loud while drilling will help your brain slow down so that your logic can catch up.
You've absolutely got this! Feel free to reach out with any other questions :)
