Hi team,

I am enrolled in Powerscore's full online course. I started the course early September, and I completed it in time for the December LSAT. My diagnostic was 148, but by late November I only managed to score between 153-155. I rescheduled the test to February.

It seems though I cannot score a single point above 155. Its always between 153-155 (once was even 152, actually). I still kept myself the online class, because even if I am done with the lessons, I make use of reviewing them and using the additional resources to help me study. My question is, with limited time remaining till February, should my approach be different now? I am dedicating a lot of time to taking prep tests (I try once a week) and then reviewing the answers, and going back to the material I got wrong. Is there something else I should be doing, since I'm apparently stuck in the same score range?

Thanks in advance!

Try reviewing more than the answers and the ones you got wrong, RRani. Instead, do a full "blind review" of every practice test. Check out this link for a further discussion on how to review practice tests:

Also, focus on just one topic at a time. If you are having trouble with, for example, Assumption questions, review Lesson 5 and practice the Assumption Negation Technique over and over again, testing it on every answer to get a firm grasp of how, and why, it works. If you are having consistent problems with undefined grouping games, review Lesson 6 and practice your conditional diagrams backwards and forwards, getting to where you can read the contrapositive and distinguish it from a Mistaken Reversal at a glance.

Practice test, blind review, and then focused study of just one or two concepts or techniques on which you need improvement based on your performance. Then repeat that cycle, and then take a day off, and then start over again. Keep at it! If you are still stuck on a plateau, check out this article for some other ideas:
