Totally have had the same experience. There are few ways of thinking about the test that have helped me reduce my anxiety (which actually makes me perform better, which sounds contradictory when you read the ways below):
-Having fun with the essay,…
I'm in exactly the same situation! Same section breakdown and everything. I'm also shooting for a 167 (and have been hitting it kinda consistently, but want to get a bit higher so I can be safer).
I think our best shot may be to follow these folks'…
I would recommend taking a step back and weighing your options. If you're considering not going to law school because of this one difficult test, then I would consider if law school is the right path (Ive heard that law school is way harder than the…
Cliff bars are my go-to break snack because they are high in sugar but have dense enough calories to stop you from getting hunry. Also, some of them have caffeine (from green tea extract).
@Max_henry91 Everything you just said. Yes. I'm snapping my fingers right now.
Going to rewrite your post down on a sticky note and paste it on my forehead.
This book is known for being one of most accessible on learning formal logic. The first three or so chapters are probably sufficient for LSAT purposes. A little expensive, yes; hopefully you can find a PDF or something online.

TL;DR: The test day point differential is not a mysterious, unavoidable effect. If you can replicate it and repeat it, you can learn to cope with it through repetition.
I think that a big reason for the "game day" point differential is psychologic…
I hear you. Don't fret! There are solutions, but it might just take trying a few of them to find the one(s) that work.
From what I'm hearing, it sounds like you have all of the knowledge (you've watched the curriculum) but don't yet have the mecha…
Nathaniel, I know that taking the LSAT is expensive (im also a low-income student). But if your concern is money, let me break something down for you:
Lets imagine that you take the test only in December, get a 155, and apply to schools with that s…

PS - I know three-ish months is not enough to 'master' the test, but I am in a situation where if I do not take the test now, I will be stuck in a place where I will be practically unable to study until November of next year. I…
I would definitely recommend BRing all of the questions of a test/section you take. The second time around, you may notice you made a mistake on a question you thought you did well on. You also solidify (read: increase the thickness of neurons in yo…
I definitely have this issue sometimes. I try to move really fast, and end up just reading the same sentence or answer choice a few times in a row spinning my wheels. Ive since tried to develop a more deliberate approach, where I move slower and aim…
A lot of great recommendations already in this thread.
Heres mine: I would keep a journal (or at least a piece of paper) where you write down each reason you get an LR question wrong. Its the best way to recognize patterns in your mistakes.
Take a…
