That's an inspiring score jump in just 3  months! I am currently trying to get to a 160 from a 152 on the Jan 2022 test. I would really appreciate any tips or advice on getting the score up 🙂  Hoping to get to 160 in time for the June 2022 take! All the best and congrats on a great score!!

You're in, assuming your personal statement isn't a total mess. For what it's worth, I had an identical cGPA, a slightly better LSAT (166), and worse ECs and heard back in November.

Thank you so much! Honestly, I started studying pretty late (around late june) for the october LSAT and only used Khan Academy, which was probably not the best idea loll. But after the october LSAT, I started using 7sage. You probably know this, but the logic games section is the easiest to improve for most people so I just started drilling those and for for a couple days at a time, I would only do one specific type of logic game like grouping, sequencing, or mixed (and if I was doing grouping for a few days at a time, I would spend around half the day doing only one type of grouping (e.g. in/out). I think this worked for me because switching between different types of logic games while practicing just didn't feel as effective. I didn't do much practice for LR because I think it was something that came naturally to me and was usually my best section, so I only did LR questions when I was doing PTs. For RCs, I was always averaging like 19/27 so I started focusing on that after I got really good at the games. So I would honestly just suggest figuring out what your weakest section is and drilling questions (for me it was LG). Also, before the oct lsat, I would do PTs only once a week, but messed up my timing pretty bad during the actual test. So after october, I started doing PTs maybe every other day, which can be exhausting but I think this made the biggest difference in my score because you get a lot better at managing your time, and getting a sense of how much faster you need to go when you're doing a section. Hope this helps!

Appreciate it, this is huge! I am pretty much in the same boat, I left 2 games on the table in the JAN 2022 test, completely guessed them after spending the entire time on the first 2 games. I definitely feel like LG is my weakest and if I can just perfect that section then I think I should be able to come within striking range of a 160! Thanks again for the advice 🙂
