Feeling Discouraged After 1st PrepTest

thomaspinon

Hello,

I began studying for the LSAT about 5 weeks ago. I took a practice test back in October on a different site and scored a 151 with logic games.

I just finished the 7Sage curriculum so I took a timed PrepTest yesterday and got a 161. My goal score is 170 or more, and I just feel really discouraged with scoring a 161 after studying all the curriculum. Is it reasonable to expect a 170 by the August LSAT dates, or should I reconsider my goal score and or test date.

I am just not sure how much improvement to expect just by drills and PrepTests. Thank you!

You're doing great!! Honestly the drills have helped my score more than anything else (went from score in the high 150s for PTs to high 160s/1 170+), so don't give up hope! The drills have really helped me figure out what I don't know so that I can go back and study up on specific sections instead of just going through the whole curriculum.
