Feeling frustrated and Stuck

sheistrying

I took my diagnostic back in august and got 148. Since then I have been working through the curriculum. I made it through the foundations and first part of logical reasoning with the old version before I realized there was a newer one I should be on. since then I restarted the new version and redid grammar bc I felt I was shaky, I did all of the foundations and 22 percent of the logic part and 66 percent of the rc curriculum. About a month in I took another diagnostic (while at work and being interrupted) and scored a 149. I assumed that because I was at work that contributed to my low score and that it would generally show my improvement since then if I was in a controlled environment. However, after 3 months of studying as much as I could manage with working full time and being in grad school I scored yet again another 149 on the first round and actually blind reviewed the entire test and still only managed a 150. I am at a loss right now and feeling super discouraged. I only have a 3.3 from undergrad so I do need the lsat with my admissions. For reference I want to apply the year and not wait until next year bc I am currently working at a university that has free tuition for employees and a law school. I hate my job but that makes it worth it and everything would be so convent. I just am feeing discouraged right now and at a loss. I know I haven't finished the curriculum, but how is it possible that I am stuck in the same place as when I started. It makes me feel like all of this ha been for nothing.

Don't give up and remember there is a score in the 150s that puts you above average at the very least. You are making progress. Also, if I read correctly, if you work at the place that has a law school is it not technically free and your basically focusing on presenting the best application you can make? or did you mean just the grad school aspect is free? Some people recommend 6 months study time but you definitely should keep in mind what your personal goals are overall.

I appreciate your kind words! I meant that tuition would be free if I got in but I would need at least a 160 for that given my gpa is below their 25th percentile. I am also retaking in January but applying to 2 schools in December that have early deadlines for financial considerations.
