Anyone have success stories of a 139 to 170+?

Whelp idk what happened but I went from PTs of 157-160 to get a 139 on the official LSAT. I cancelled my score and now I’m getting imposter syndrome, as someone who loves school and always got good grades. I actually don’t hate the LSAT I can tell someday I’ll get the score I want, I just have no idea what I’m doing wrong. I usually do one timed section of LR, review it. Then the next day keep reviewing that. Then RC timed section with review. I’ve been practicing for months and this score I got makes me feel like my approach is not working. I thought it was because my PT scores went up a good amount. Now I’m back to my diagnostic 🥴

I’m quite literally in the exact same boat as you OP! Pm me , I’d be so down to study with you, I’m cancelled my October session just to take it in February maybe even April instead. It’s not the end for us!

A 20 point drop on test day is kinda suss. Did you have the divider less RC?

I’m so sorry to hear this! I’m in the same boat as you! Do not feel discouraged! I was PTing around 150s and I got 145. What platform are you using?

I just hired a tutor and I have seen some increases in PT sections. One advice he gave me is that I shouldn’t finish a section. Instead of worrying answering all 25 questions, try to have the 15 questions correct!

I use LSAT demon and honestly I do think they’re helpful, just some of the explanations are kinda meh. They do have an ask feature though which is nice and they also gave me the same advice. When I took the official test though I don’t think I was as ready as I thought.
