HOW I SCORED IN THE 160'S ON THE LSAT: LSAT TIPS

[@kaziajenee8407]

I’m so glad I came across your channel😭 We definitely needed someone who is transparent. Looking forward to following you on your journey💕

[@LifewithLataysia]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@kejuanlynette8531]

Congratulations!!!! And yes, people have difficulty being transparent. 164 is great! Even your diagnostic score was higher than some people's actual score. THANK YOU for this video, and I wish you well💙💙💙

[@LeighaChristine]

I’ve been watching sooo many LSAT videos and i love yours the best! You talked like an actual human being and i appreciate your honesty lol. Thank you for this!!

Just gotta say, I was overwhelmed just thinking about lsat.. this video definitely helped me RELAX! You're awesome! I hope to see more of your videos!❤

[@jessflo9]

I appreciate your tips and honesty! I took a diagnostic and got a 148, so I ordered the power score bibles and hope I can bring my score up to the 160s for the October LSAT. 😊

[@amandarogers881]

That's what I ordered! I'm trying to get in LSU in the fall or Spring 2021!

[@destinyortega1535]

I'm so glad I came across your channel. I just got out of a toxic relationship with a man who made me put my dream on the back burner but I'm ready now.

[@LifewithLataysia]

Definitely can relate ❤️

[@pajak415]

Also, one of the most helpful tips I've learned so far is to "look for wrongness not rightness" ! Look through the answer choices and eliminate the answer choices you're sure are wrong. It'll help you find the answer a lot quicker rather than going through each choice and assessing if it's correct. Sounds weird, I know, but I don't make the rules- it works lol

[@Chrissyofvalor]

God Bless you!!! I was so stressed out and broke down while studying for this test and this video with the help of praying really blessed me. It was so informative and interesting. That’s it I’m subscribing 💕

[@BosaintRock]

Thanks so much much for this video. I'm planning to take the LSAT again in June 2020 and studying for at LEAST a 156!

taking my lsat tomorrow morning! my cold diagnostic was 156 and i've gotten up to an average of 165 with a high of 170, hopefully i can pull through!! this video has been super helpful :)

[@williamsykes9761]

Hello. I took the LSAT - Flex today. I have taken it previously, my first score was 129 second score 136. (self study) Hopefully my score goes up, I can expect my score on June 5. There has been some changes on the LSAT due to the pandemic. Test takers can take it at home and there are only three section LR LG LC 33% on the LSAT- Flex. Also, LSAC has not release an official scoring table, so I have no clue what to expect...thanks for listening to me vent...congratulations on your 164 I wish you the absolute best...great channel by the way...

[@kayln95]

how'd you do? I take mine tomorrow!

[@williamsykes9761]

Kayln Rae. 145 I still need improvement. I decided to take a prep course to at least get a 160. Good luck. I hope u do very well.

You’re welcome!!

[@LeahsLegalLife]

Can we get a natural hair video 👀😂 but the 7sage app is also a good way to proctor your tests! You can add background noise and score your test all through the app!

[@jazminemitchell6093]

man I like this channel, I was hesitant at first but honestly the first 4 minutes go the and trapped me in. I feel as if you are real and telling me the honest truth. DEFIANTLY SUBSCRIBED!

[@lifewithstaceyxo2329]

So glad I found your channel! :) I plan on taking the LSAT in July so I need all the tips I can get and you definitely inspired me.

[@laurlovesbooks]

I took my diagnostic test yesterday and got 149! I’m taking 7sage and when i get asked question without a time restraint, i do pretty good. But what really made me get a 149 was the timing. It stresses me out and i kept looking at the clock and didnt answer some questions. So hopefully by taking practice exams over and over i will learn to not be so stressed over the time and stay calm. So far, 7sage is great and it’s only $68 a month! Hopefully by August I can get my score up to the high 150’s or 160.

[@LifewithLataysia]

That’s really good. I would try khan academy as well.

[@aalegalfocus]

There's also a free LSAT prep course on Khan Academy. You can take a free diagnostic LSAT at your nearest Kaplan office. I highly recommend getting real previously administered LSATs and taking them under timed circumstances. I taught for Kaplan before and don't really think it's worth it unless you need that scheduled class to force yourself to study.

[@krystalpalmer2595]

How did the August test go? I'm thinking of starting with 7Sage.

[@Theofficialbriannapatrice]

loveeeed your transparency! please continue to upload!

[@LifewithLataysia]

Thank you! ❤️

[@AntiMasonic93]

I think the problem a lot of people have with the LSAT is timing. You only have 35 minutes to complete each section. It is easy to run out of time and get a low score on this test.

[@dathunderman4]

Definitely. Which is why it’s a problem that a number of people are gaming the system and paying for diagnoses of psychological disorders to get accommodations (1.5 or 2x extra time). Ever since a lawsuit against lsac only a couple years ago, lsac has been extremely lenient with their accommodations policy. A lot of ppl are taking advantage of this (not the ppl who genuinely have a disability and need accommodations).

[@toma.5727]

I can’t thank you enough for this video! I’m trying to prepare for the LSAT coming up this summer and I needed someone to be real!! Just gotta get it in gear!!!

[@LifewithLataysia]

You’re welcome. Glad it helped!

[@damondwilson5799]

Congrats on your score! I started off studying with a online course with Kaplan. I scored a 130 on my diagnostic test and as the course went on I came up to about a 140. Then took the official test and regressed back down to a 130. My cousin told me about PowerScore so I got their 3 books and have been self studying. They seem to really break things down. Now I'm not saying I still understand it completely but I think I got a better understanding of whats going on. I been really going hard on the LR section this past month and a half. I'm scheduled for the April exam but who knows if that will really go off like its supposed to. My plan is to spend the final month practicing games to get a better understanding of them to the point that I'm confident in doing them. I just know I'll be glad when this is over! Lol

[@LifewithLataysia]

Thank you! I’m sure you’ll do well!

[@wutitdo305]

Thanks for sayin u scored in the 130s i scored so low too so reading the comments about ppl lamenting about scoring in the 150s made me feel a little hopeless ..but u make me feel like i should keep trying thanks bro

[@damondwilson5799]

@@wutitdo305 Yes I was in the 130's for awhile. The improvement seems to be minimal at first but you start to see yourself improve slowly. I started off just wanting to get over average which is 150. I set a goal of 155. I have yet to reach that yet but I will. I was looking forward to starting Law School this year but have decided to just continue to prepare and take the exam again later in the year and apply next year. The schools that I'm interested in deadlines have either passed or about to pass and with that goes the scholarship money so for me its best if I wait until next cycle. Also for me I suffered from test anxiety I'm usually pretty relaxed and calm but I guess I began to feel pressured and eventually it would get to me and clearly affected me. I'm focused on taking timed test as much as possible and believe me its been helping as my score has come up to the 140's. Thats solely due to me taking timed tests and not just timed sections (and reviewing). Good luck to you in your prep I wish you well! You got this...we got this counselor!

[@beyetransformed6559]

I love you four this! Thanks for being so real about it! Y’all pray for me I test in June!

[@bleu4641]

This channel is what i needed. Thank you for providing us transparency, we love to see it. I'm currently taking a Kaplan LSAT prep course started on 3-1-2020 I plan on taking the June 2020 LSAT.

[@LifewithLataysia]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@kamacazi9639]

If you guys have the money please consider The Princeton review. They really teach you how to break down the arguments. My LSAT diagnostic score went from 125 to 148 to 158 in one month. They break the questions down to the words that’s how detail they are. They show you how certain words trigger certain logic types questions, they show you how to eliminate the wrong answers in less than 30 seconds again by identifying words in the answers. The words in the answers is the key to knowing what’s wrong. For example if a question asks you which most strengthens the answer, whenever you see the word “most strengthens” there are actually two correct answers but only one can mostly strengthen the question that’s the trick and catches you sometimes.

[@azteka17]

This was amazing!! thank you girl I appreciate the "relax" part the most bc I do need to chill out I got this

[@sarahbaker9865]

Would appreciate some advice. I want to actually start self-studying and actually taking the LSAT for the next fall term (Fall 2022). Trying to self-study with additional resources AND score well for the LSAT. Any advice for actually applying for law schools (when to ask for recommendations, send LSAT scores, send a personal statement, etc) And is 26 too old to start law school? Your advice is much appreciated :)

[@ncstate147]

Base everything around when applications are due for whatever law schools you want to apply to. I'm trying to get into law school next fall and most of my apps are due by this spring, so I ended up taking my first LSAT this past July and I'm taking it one more time in a couple weeks and once I get my Nov. score back, I'm going to have to ask for recommendations pretty much now up until when I submit my apps along with the personal statement. Just give yourself enough time in relation to the App deadlines just in case you need to retake the lsat but other than that, there's plenty of time! 26?! Too old?! Take that back! lol

On the actual test, I may have with logic games. If so, I guessed based on the answers I eliminated or I guessed D. If you’ve eliminated those that you know aren’t right, guessing will be easier.
