  Wow that's amazing! Thank you for sharing your story. How long did it take you to start PT'ing in the 160's after your diagnostic?

  @nycgal90 Took me about 2 months I think. I broke the 160 ceiling fairly early, but getting to the high 160's was the hard part.

  @ericauhunmwangho Basically I follow JY's method - I think there's a whole lecture on it that's definitely worth listening to if you haven't done so. After you finish a PT. go back to and work on the questions you circled on your timed run. Take all the time in the world, as it is very important that you understand the questions thoroughly.
  As for RC, I would advise you to read a lot. You get a huge advantage if you're familiar with the topic of the passage - so read as many articles, blogposts, textbooks, etc. as you can, to broaden your background knowledge of relevant areas.

  Hi.

  The March LSAT results were in two days ago. I'm so glad to say that I scored a 169!

  I know there are plenty of people here with 170+ and yet aiming for a higher score, but I am content with what I've accomplished after a long journey.

  I'm an international applicant with a GPA classified as 'Superior.' I'm a traditional and have studied for the LSAT for a whole year.

  I went from a 148 diagnostic, to 161 in June 2018, and to a 169 in March.

  I was averaging mid-160s before the March test, so my final score took me by a huge surprise.

  LR was my biggest weakness, as I started out getting -10 for each section. I improved a lot by drilling by question type and focusing on those types that I had the most difficulty with.

  The Blind Review and foolproofing methods worked out wonderfully for me as well. At one point I was wasting my PTs by taking three tests per week, and obviously getting nothing out of each test. Learning the proper BR method was a game changer for me. I started seeing steady improvements in my overall performance.

  I just want to say a big thank you to JY and 7Sage for your help.

  I'd also like to add that 7Sage works, although the process could be long and wearisome, as it was for me. So don't give up!

  Peace out

  Congrats .I am an international student too and the test's peculiar language is a big hurdle for me. How did you overcome that issue if English is not your first language ?
