Hello!
I just took my first diagnostic score and got a 144.
I really want to get in the 160s, and I am taking the LSAT in November.
I work M-F 9-1, but otherwise am free to study.
Is this jump possible in 4 months?
Any and all advice/tips would be great.
Thanks!

Hi, Ahaide7,

Congratulations on starting your LSAT preparation! You are absolutely getting off on the right track by taking a diagnostic test. This initial test is a valuable tool for you to use to gauge where you are right now and get a sense of what you need to accomplish to reach your goals.

First things first: you should check out our self-study resources and register for a free account to use our LSAT Test Scoring System.

http://students.powerscore.com/self-study/

You will also notice on this page several self-study plans you can use to direct your preparation. For instance, here is the 4 Month plan using our suite of LSAT Bibles:

You should feel reassured that your circumstances are very similar to those of many other LSAT students. Thousands of other LSAT students have been exactly in your situation and achieved goals similar to yours. What's important is that you choose a plan and commit to following through.

If you prefer a course or private tutoring, these options may be suitable for you as well. I would strongly suggest either a Full Length course or the On Demand course. More details about these courses may be found here:

https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/courses/

To get started, enter your test results into the scoring tool. Try to get a sense of your current strengths and weaknesses.

Next, consult our LSAT Free Help area:

https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/help/

Read the articles in the LSAT Basics section and consider watching the LSAT 101 videos.

When you have done these initial steps, decide which option for preparation will best suit your needs:
  • Self-Study
  • LSAT Course (Live Online, In Person, On Demand, Accelerated)
  • Tutoring
Please follow up here with further questions, or reach out to us at 800-545-1750. We are here to help! Above all, remain confident and positive about your preparation. You're off to a good start; now it's time to build some momentum!
