Hi Ericau!

Thanks for the post, and congrats on the score improvement! I know it can feel discouraging at times since you're putting so much effort in, but that effort will pay off — you'll get there. :-D

Tutoring, particularly because it is one-on-one and personalized, would be a great route to go at this point! You can find some information about our tutoring here:https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/tutoring/. We offer both online and in person tutors. What we recommend you do if you're interested is fill out our tutor form. This will allow us to match you with a tutor that best fits your availability and needs! They will actually reach out to you for a free initial consultation, and this will allow you and the tutor to develop the best study plan for you.

BTW you do get a discount for being former course student, so if you decide to make a purchase, let us know so we can provide that discount information. :)

Let us know if you have any questions! Thanks!

Okay thank you, I am currently preparing for the June exam which is in a couple days so I won't be able to use a tutor rn, but if I happen to take the following exam in July I will possible consider a session or two. Also as I mentioned a while ago on this thread I am a lower gpa student due to some unfortunate circumstances during undergraduate, so you can maybe understand how much pressure I am under to excel on this exam, I have not other option, as well as a pristine application. I am really interested in the full admissions consultation package as I am preparing to apply for the 2020 cycle. Do you have more information on this? Is there a discount as well for previous students, and can I start with my application even if I'm prepping for the LSAT.

Hi Ericau!
Yes, you can see all information about our Admissions Consulting here: https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/law-school-admissions/. It works similar to a tutor in that you can fill out a free consultation form. We do provide discounts for past course students!

While you can absolutely start on your application while prepping for the LSAT, I would personally advise against that, and instead that you focus fully on the LSAT first, as you want to make sure you crush the test! But of course, I don't know your particular law school deadlines, or if there's anything specific you will need to focus on your application that may take more time, so please be wary of factors like that!

Thanks!

I registered for the LSATJuly exam as a precaution, because it is about a month after this June exam and the registration deadline is the day after the June exam. I have gone up by 10 points using the blind review method which is great but I am still not where I need to be. Idk if its my Logic games, or my Logical reasoning or even my Reading comprehension. For some reason whenI blind review I am able to notice the correct answer instantly before checking. My blind review scores are around mid 160's but my actual PT scores are lower 150's. I am praying and hoping through some miracle I can fully put all my skills to use on the LSAT tomorrow and score somewhere along my Blind Review scores, but I know this may be wishful thinking.
That being said,
-when should someone decided to cancel an LSAT score?
-If not canceling it is it harmful to my application to have a lower ended score on there and multiple scores, instead of one strong score.
-Aside from Blind review, and the fool proof method for logic games how do I maximize my time to ensure I can boost my scores up before the next exam if necessary.
-best way to maximize reading comprehensions scores (should I do passages every day maybe like one or two?)
-what is the LSAT curve does it affect your scores, if so, negatively or positively?
I am trying to plan out if I had to take it again I would take about a week off and have 5 weeks to study, my goal is 168+ , is this possible for me. I just sucks because I have bout the Powerscore course I paid an extra 900$ to continue using the tools and the videos but the progress is so minimal I am really beginning to feel as if achieving that score for me is impossible and every time I need more help you guys ask for more money and its hard to keep dishing out money.
If anyone can please respond and give me a little advice with some of the questions I mentioned that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi ericau,

Have you had a chance to read the email I sent you? I would be happy to resend it again if you didn't get it. It will be much easier to have a detailed discussion via email!
