  The highest score that I got on a PT was a 172. On the actual test, I managed to get a 173. Thank you 7Sage for helping me increase my score from 148 to 173.

  Nader, this is really incredible. You earned every point you got on the test so congratulations! I'm bookmarking this because your story is proof that with dedication, hard work, and determination, the test is YOURS! Also I think it's incredible that you managed to get a 173 with a language barrier. Some people allow that to deter them from doing well on the LSAT so your story is more unique and inspirational because of it

  @Aidoe thanks, it took me three week to do each game just once and watch J.Y. explanation but fool-proofing them took me about two to three months I was going through core curriculum as well.

  Dearest Nader:)
  Tears for you to reach your score after such a long and dedicated journey - YOU DID IT!!!
  My wish is for everyone to be inspired from your story especially those who are ESL. You were an integral part of the pioneers attending every Webinar/Office Hours and the evolving BR/Study group calls when 7Sage added the "live" aspect for the community last year.
  
  Blessed to be your friend, I can attest that your journey had so many more obstacles beyond your post - testing you more than the actual LSAT test could ever provide to show your resolve and determination to open the door to reach beyond the "glass ceiling" of perceived personal ability and reach for the stars. Underneath your soft demeanor is one of the most caring people I have met on 7Sage but have to admit, the fiery and spunky side of you is my favorite (sorry, but it is so funny when you allow your passion to over-ride your normally soft demeanor:)
  
  Glenn sends his congratulations and both hope that we will stay in touch during the next stage of your journey:)
  
  All my love and respect,
  T
  
  (My prayers will be with you always:)

  @"Not Ralph Nader" Congrats!!! You deserve that score! I am actually in the exact same position as you were...I am stuck in 166-168 and it seems like I can't break the 170 no matter what I do...the highest score I got from the most recent tests is 170 but that was the only time I hit 170 (except fo PTs in 40s). Can you please specify what exactly you did to break the plateau? Also, did you get 173 in your first take?

  @lsnnnnn0011 first of all congrats for breaking 170 barrier. Yes this was my first and last take going through recordings of my PT and having someone else analyse it with me helped me a lot to reach 170+ score repeatedly.

  Amazing! My diagnostic score was similar to yours. Unfortunately, I did not withdraw from the December test and only scored a 160 - but reading this has inspired me to take advantage of all that 7Sage has to offer and fully commit. I hope to make an inspirational post similar to this one someday! Thank you and congrats!

  @Aidoe I do not remember all of them (there were too many) I do remember my reluctant to skip those questions that I did not have any idea after the initial 30 seconds and how I wasted a lot of time debating between two wrong answer choices on questions that I should to skipped in first place was pointed out. I did not made those mistakes on my actual test, on the test day I skipped three questions in a row on one of the LR section and came back to them and still got two of them wrong but I got the rest of questions in that section right.

  Congratulations! Your story is so inspiring! I sent you a pm about a day ago and ran across this today. This has answered all of my questions. I am new to 7Sage but one of the first things I did was listened to the webinar, "Our 89 Point Increase Story". It was so informative and I was so motivated by your story, as well as the stories of @"Cant Get Right", @"danielznelson", and @"Accounts Playable." There is so much power in your humble spirit. I really admire that! Best of luck to you and thanks so much for sharing your story in such detail.

  I actually have a similar story (although I take the test today). I went from scoring a 142 on my very first PT, and just yesterday I got a personal best at 162. I was averaging 156 ish until I finally found the "trends" and saw that "flaw" questions were absolutely fucking me, I went back and did that section over completely. I went from -8.5 average on LR to -5
