20 Point Increase

Just wondering (to give myself some hope), has anyone on here seen a twenty point increase from their diagnostic as a result of intensive study? Specifically from the mid 150's to the mid 170's? If so, any advice?

    151 -> 171 Dec 2017 took about a year of studying.

    Were you studying full time?

    Did you experience any plateaus?

    What was your weakest section(s) and how did you overcome?

    My current problem is that I am unable to diagnose what to do to improve.Esp LR because it doesn't belong to a particular Q.type.

    Never took a diagnostic but based on how I was doing on practice questions, particularly LG, I probably started around low to mid 150s. Studied 7 months for 178.

    I worked full-time but still spent close to 20 hours a week on the LSAT.

    I had tons of plateaus, stuck in the 165-167 range forever before I finally jumped.

    My weakest section was RC, it was also one I didn’t improve on much. It was the Wild West - I either did okay or sucked lol.

    LR will improve with constant practice. You’ll just get super use to seeing the questions and tricks the lsat has
