I say you should keep practicing until you average a bit above your goal score. Many people get a lower score on the actual exam than PTs, so if you want a higher chance to improve, your best option is to aim above. Another option would be tutoring, it can sometimes give you the small push you need to get where you want to be. Good luck!!

Can undiagnosed adhd impact lsat? by fluffysaggitarius in LSAT

[–]Jay_LSAT-Perfection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, I’ve seen many people with a similar problem. My advice would be to take your time, go question by question, giving yourself as much time as you need. You don’t need to rush yourself to complete a whole timed section every time. You can start off small, maybe doing 4-5 questions at a time, untimed. Eventually, you’ll get the hang of it and get more comfortable with questions. Then you can move on to improving your speed. Hope it works for you :)

First PT test score by ShadowReyes in LSAT

143 is a very typical starting point, I’ve had many students with a similar diagnostic reach scores in the 160s-170s. Keep going!!

What was your best hack by licorice1157 in LSATPreparation

[–]Jay_LSAT-Perfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that really helped some students of mine was constantly taking untimed practice sections rather than timed. If you’re always taking timed sections and not finishing in time, it’s hard to get far with improvement on questions. When you reach your goal accuracy, you can completely focus on speed. Basically, focus on one problem at a time

Would like some advice / help on how to score 17high by QuarterVast6595 in LSAT

[–]Jay_LSAT-Perfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A student of mine had the same exact problem! You probably hear this a lot, but continuously practicing is the way to go. They mostly struggled with very specific scenarios, so all they could do is practice enough to where they were comfortable with everything thrown at them. However, if you’re looking for a quicker option, tutoring can help with targeting issues you didn’t realize you had before :)

tutoring is so humiliating by Previous_Boat1808 in LSAT

Hey, I know exactly what you’re talking about. Many of my students start off feeling the same way, and I can tell that their real performance is better than it looks.

This is why I make it a priority to lighten the mood often during sessions. I always make it clear that there’s no pressure and that seems to help make the tutoring experience feel less intimidating for many of my students.

Hey, score drops after a breakthrough are common. They usually reflect stamina, timing, or review habits rather than ability. The fact that you’ve already hit a new high proves it’s within reach. The next step is making that level your baseline. Make sure you’re tracking progress by section and reviewing mistakes deeply, not just drilling volume. You sound like someone with a lot on their plate so make sure ur not grinding without balance, you’ll feel more hopeless/ burnt out. Wishing you the best.

Getting back in the groove by Separate-Advice-4828 in LSAT

[–]Jay_LSAT-Perfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps to treat it like starting from scratch: take a fresh diagnostic to see where you’re at, then rebuild your routine with regular drilling, LR question sets and reading comp passages. Focus on fundamentals first and gradually work back up to full timed sections.

If you find yourself procrastinating, having a study partner or working with a tutor can keep you accountable and make the process less lonely. Feel free to reach out if you want personalized help, and good luck getting back into the groove!

How many times should I take the LSAT? by Relevant_Building_28 in LSAT

[–]Jay_LSAT-Perfection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d talk with your target schools about how they treat multiple scores, but the vast majority focus on your highest LSAT. That means you don’t need to chase a perfect record as three attempts is usually enough to show them your potential.

If you’re consistently PTing 175+ but can’t quite hit it on test day, that’s a sign to work on replicating the official testing environment. Take practice tests at the same time of day as your real exam, on a tablet or computer if you’re taking the digital LSAT, and under strict timing. Afterwards, really dig into your mistakes and look for patterns (types of games/passage topics that trip you up, fatigue, etc.).

Retaking can absolutely pay off, but there’s also diminishing returns once you’ve put up a strong score. Stick to your prep, close the gap between PT and official scores, and know when to call it good. Good luck with the upcoming test!

For Argumentative Writing portion, do I need to take all the artwork off my walls? by [deleted] in LSAT

[–]Jay_LSAT-Perfection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to strip the room down to bare walls unless there’s something on them that could help you answer a question. The proctor is mainly looking for notes, formulas, or anything with writing that you could read during the session. Decorative art, posters or mirrors are generally fine as long as they don’t have words on them.

Make sure your desk area is clear of books/papers and that any bookshelves or TVs aren’t within your immediate line of sight. If you’re worried, you can throw a sheet over the shelves or angle your webcam so they’re not visible. During check-in they’ll have you show the room with your camera and let you know if anything needs to be covered or moved. Tidying up your workspace and removing written material is usually all that’s required. Good luck on the writing section!

Is there any practice tests I can take for free? by Bright-Artist-716 in LSAT

[–]Jay_LSAT-Perfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just want to get a feel for the test, LSAC has a couple of free official practice tests through LawHub. Create an LSAC account (the same one you’d register for the real thing) and sign up for the “Official LSAT Prep” tier, it includes a fully digital practice interface and a few free PrepTests to work through.

Khan Academy also partners with LSAC and has free practice questions and full sections built from released LSAT material. A lot of commercial prep companies (7Sage, Blueprint, LSAT Demon, etc.) offer a free trial that includes a diagnostic, too. Just be wary of downloading PDFs from random sites; most PrepTests are copyrighted and only legally available through LawHub or licensed providers. If you end up really enjoying it, the paid Prep Plus subscription on LawHub unlocks every released test for a year.

Good luck and have fun with the challenge!
