How to score in the 170s on the LSAT.

I get so many questions about how to get a great LSAT score so let's talk about it (and pls ignore the plain background I filmed this while on a trip)

The best way to improve your score is rote practice after first learning the fundamentals. I recommend getting a high-level overview of the questions before you begin spamming practice tests, beginning with older exam questions and ramping to more recent ones. Eventually you'll figure out your weak points and you can/should practice hitting those sections more.

Some great videos unpacking how to diagram logic games / reasoning:

PTs fluctuated between 170-175. When I started my first ever score was 145.
Hard work, 4 months dedicated to studying- 180 score. I do believe this guy holds merit and know what he is speaking about.

Thank you so much for posting this!! I'm in month 2 of studying for the LSAT in October, and I've been learning the question types and do my best to practice as many questions as possible. I watch your Short telling me that I can get from the 140s to the 170s with practice, practice, practice. It's nice to hear advice from a lawyer who remembers that the struggle is real with this exam. Thank you again!! (Also, for the young ones worrying about not getting into law school soon...I'm 39 and will be 40 when (if accepted) I begin law school. Yup, I'm changing careers! So keep your head up, study and practice like Julian says, and remember you got this!)

Thank you! This video calmed me down, I feel better about taking my time for the LSAT.

I only started looking at test questions for the LSAT last week and was shocked. Just completed a BA in Criminal Justice and NONE of my undergraduate studies prepared me for ANY of the LSAT. I had never even seen a "logic game" until I started taking some practice test problems and it totally freaked me out! I took my first full practice test two days ago and scored a 144. Hearing about your story and experience gave me a much-needed confidence boost. Thanx

By now I watched several testimonials and I appreciate your input. You did a really good presentation. Smart of you to dress well as it boosts impressions.

Currently in undergrad for PoliSci. I'm hoping to go to law school and then practice in either Taxation or Governmental / Administrative law. Great video!

[SleepyHugAsmr]

Thanks super useful, especially on the topic of not getting discouraged. Would you consider doing a video on how to create balance between work and family (esp. in fields like law)? I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

[theotterspotters]

I used your discount code to get the trilogy pack. Taking it in June of 2024. Your videos have been an inspiration. I was starting to get discouraged after taking some practice ones and not doing well. I am going to spend the next few months studying hard.

Hi Julian! Your advice is really inspiring. I find myself coming back to this video regularly just to remind myself to be patient . I was wondering, during the PT stage, were you ever doing one PT a day or more? Do you think doing more PTs with review contributed to a more significant jump in your score once you were over the 160 mark? Did you ever feel apprehensive about taking PTs initially?

[avezkhanniyozov]

Thank you so much
More about lsat please

Future UK law student here! Julian, you are such an inspiration. I am currently 17 years old and intend to begin my preparation for the LSAT, practising whenever I have the opportunity while studying for my A-Levels. Your persona and videos inspire me greatly, and I am committed to becoming a family law barrister in the future! Wish me luck in my University and Law endeavours!

I hope you have a lovely day!😄
