First time poster here. I took Feb, got a 169. Retook April, got a 170. Feb was completely on par with my PT scores, so I can’t say I was surprised. Somewhat disappointed by April because my PT scores leading up to test day were:
3/7/26 PT 115: 175 (raw 73)
3/14/26 PT 145: 172 (raw 71)
3/18/26 PT 155: 172 (raw 72)
3/21/26 PT 149: 169 (raw 69)
3/23/26 PT 148: 173 (raw 73)
3/29/26 PT 146: 172 (raw 72)
3/31/26 PT 138: 172 (raw 71)
4/3/26 PT 136: 175 (raw 74)
4/4/26 PT 152: 179 (raw 74)
I keep a wrong answer journal and also a word doc with questions I think are good examples of LSAT tropes in order to improve my pattern recognition.
Looking for other strategies as I prepare for last (and final) try in June. What can I do to perform on test day at the high end, rather than the low end, of my PT range?
For other context, 3.96 GPA, I work full time at an NYC legal nonprofit doing federal litigation, previous WE at DC foreign policy think tank.
