20 Point Increase

Just wondering (to give myself some hope), has anyone on here seen a twenty point increase from their diagnostic as a result of intensive study? Specifically from the mid 150's to the mid 170's? If so, any advice?

    Were you studying full time?

    Did you experience any plateaus?

    What was your weakest section(s) and how did you overcome?

    My current problem is that I am unable to diagnose what to do to improve.Esp LR because it doesn't belong to a particular Q.type.

    Never took a diagnostic but based on how I was doing on practice questions, particularly LG, I probably started around low to mid 150s. Studied 7 months for 178.

    I worked full-time but still spent close to 20 hours a week on the LSAT.

    I had tons of plateaus, stuck in the 165-167 range forever before I finally jumped.

    My weakest section was RC, it was also one I didn’t improve on much. It was the Wild West - I either did okay or sucked lol.

    LR will improve with constant practice. You’ll just get super use to seeing the questions and tricks the lsat has
