I had an 8 pt jump on test day but I only took 4 or 5pts total and didn't take any in the month before my test when I did a lot of my studying. It seems like for people who've done extensive prep, a jump on test day is pretty unusual. Far more people see small drops from their pt average.

Unfortunately I can answer now due to past LSAT results and I have performed much lower on the actual LSAT both times I took it. I find it impossible to replicate the pressure and nervousness you feel on the actual LSAT. I have found that those two factors are the arch nemesis of logic.

Lol. First off, I'm female. And I've been lurking for quite some time. But thank you for your assumptions.
