Seeking Tips to Break Out of a Score Plateau (Aiming for 160-165+)

Hi everyone,

I’ve been studying for the LSAT consistently but inconsistently for about a year now. I started in the low to mid-140s and have since climbed into the 150s, but I’m aiming to break into the 160 to 165+ range by the September test.

By “consistently but inconsistently,” I mean that I’ve tried to study as regularly as possible, but I haven’t had a full two-week stretch of uninterrupted, focused prep during that time. Due to personal life changes, working 20 to 30 hours a week, and maintaining some extracurriculars post-grad, my schedule has been pretty fragmented. I know this has likely contributed to my score plateau.

Right now, I usually try to complete one timed LR section and one timed RC section per week, along with some drilling and review. I also keep a wrong answer journal, although it sometimes feels tedious and time-consuming. For resources, I’ve used The LSAT Trainer for RC, completed the 7Sage curriculum last summer, and worked through The Loophole.

At this point, I’m feeling a bit frustrated that my score has been stuck in the low 150s for a few months. If any of you have broken through a similar plateau in a short time frame (1 to 2 months), I’d really appreciate any tips. Whether it’s study schedules, habits, tricks, or anything else that helped you see a jump, I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance, and best of luck to everyone studying right now!
