Did worse in June than in April
Scored a 166 in April, it's down to 161 in June. I'm not even sure of what went wrong; I felt good coming out of the test despite a proctor interruption. Threw me off on the final bit of LG (had only a couple questions left on the final game) but I was okay for RC which was the final section - I just don't know what went wrong.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I didn't expect to do this badly at all

You are not alone! I got a 165 a year ago, 162 in October, and then up to 166 in June. In all my PTs for over a year of studying I never did as badly as a 162. Gun to my head, I still wouldn't be able to tell you what went wrong in October. I think it's important to remember that for all the amazing and inspiring posts on the Internet about 5+ point increases, there's a whole lot more people who aren't posting their less impressive experience. LSAC has even done studies (http://prelaw.umass.edu/uploads/documents/lsat-repeater-data.pdf) that show ~28% of repeat test takers who scored a 166 got a lower score the second time. I'm so sorry, I know how horrible you feel right now, and if you can't figure out what went wrong, there's not much to do but to take a day to be upset about it and then decide if you're going to try again. But for what it's worth, you are absolutely not alone. And don't forget that a 166 is still an amazing score and that's what schools are going to look at. Good luck!
