129--->157

My first official LSAT score was 129. Not a diagnostic literally an official 129 5 years ago while I was a senior in college in 2018. 129-139-145-149-145-157!!!! Don’t ever give up! I literally watched so many friends and colleagues of mine get into and graduate from Law School before I could even get a LSAT score in the 150s. I felt like such a failure. Do not give up ever!!! The test is learnable it can be done. Thank y’all for all the tips.

    I went from a 143 to a 121. But all this tells me is I'm not taking it as seriously as i should. I still won't give up.

    @"morae.2010" Sure no problem. What are you struggle with the most right now ? For me I tried to get the games down but I kept getting like -3. I did get -0 a couple of times but on my PTs the best I got was -3. But I would start there since its the easiest. For RC read the passages and take notes on your scratch paper. A 157 is an avg of 17 right a section so you could strategically attack the passages based on what you think is the easiest for you first. You dont have to go in order. LR was my hardest section but figure out which question type you are struggling with the most and then drill that question type. Loophole in LR is also helpful although I personally didnt improve that much from it. Also always always always make sure you are practicing the PTs with 4 sections and not 3. Try to switch up the exp section and then give yourself a range of scores. For example: say I am taking PT 83. PT 83 has 4 sections but two LR only. Change the version from 4-3 then add in an extra section of LR,RC or LG. That way you are prepared when you take the actual exam for Either two LR/RC/or LG. Then when you grade it you should get two scores. So say I had 4 sections 1 LR, 1 RC and 2 LG I know one of my LG scores is experimental so I would grade it based on 1 LR, 1 RC and 1 LG and then grade the other LG and I will have two scores and that will give me a range of scores. Hope that makes sense feel free to DM me with any more questions.

    Also thank you everyone !!
