Bump this. Would be nice to hear from more people.

[ExpectLess]

1) Diagnostic is a bit biased because I didn't take a full one until after reading LR/LG bible: 167. It would certainly be much, much lower if I hadn't.

2) PT range of 167-178, average 173

3) June 2010: 172

[GermX]

Diagnostic: 155
PT Average: 169
Actual: 169

Thought I could get a bit above my PT average, but I hit it right on the mark. Going to GW Law in August.

[thechee]

Diagnostic: 151
PT Average: 175-180 (took all PTs, this was average for last 10 or so)
Actual: 170

[theavrock]

Diagnostic: 150, timed, stone cold

Preptests: 162-174 average of 166

June 2009 155, June 2010 166

[notanumber]

I'll add another data point:

First practice test: 165 (almost all the missed questions were LG)
Score range after figuring out LG: 175-180
LSAT score: 178

[James Bond]

I fucking hate you for this thread, FYI

Diagnostic: Mid 150's

Consistent Prep Tests: Low 170's

Real Test (June): Mid 150's

Somewhat of a sore subject, and yes my diagnostic was literally the exact score of my real test. October retake, here I come

[Merr]

Diagnostic: 148

PT:151-164

LSAT (June 2009): 163

Good enough to get me in where I wanted wanted to go.

[JordynAsh]

Diag: 157
Preptests: generally between 166-172 towards the end of 4 months prep (Kaplan course + many PTs)
Actual LSAT (June 2009): 168

[jdstl]

Diagnostic (PR Book Practice Test): 154
PT Average Over Course of Preparation: 174
June 2010 Score: 180 [LG/LR/LR/RC = -1/-0/-0/-0]

Improvement is definitely possible. That said, it's way easier to improve on LG than anything else. I started off around -3/-3/-3 on LR/RC while doing TERRIBLY on LG, which is why I was able to improve so much. I'm not sure how possible it is to really bump scores on RC.

[HeavenWood]

Diagnostic: 156
PT Range/Average: 154-165 (161) [it took me a few months before I started getting any better ]

Such a waste of a prepcourse.

October test 158

[JOThompson]

1) What was your score on your initial diagnostic?

2) What were you getting on preptests?

3) What did you score on the June (or any previous LSAT)?

1.) 148 (I know...)

2.) 165-167

3.) 159 (I should've retaken, damn)

[niederbomb]

Diagnostic: Proctored by PR, -18 on LG: 162

PT's: 166-174: -0-5 LG

Actual: 162

Hand score result: 162

Crap.


The fates like to slap me with 2's....3.92 GPA, 162 LSAT, having to take the LSAT 2 times....hopefully, a score of 182 in December.

[beachbum]

Diagnostic: 161 (after doing part of the LG Bible)
PT Range: 168-171 (though I stumbled to a 166 on the last PT I took before the real test)
June 2010: 170 (~PT average)

[birdlaw117]

Diagnostic: 165
PT Avg: 172
Actual: 173

[incompetentia]

RC improvement is possible, but it seems it mostly has to do with concentration and time management rather than the material itself.

[pwyoung]

1) What was your score on your initial diagnostic? 149

2) What were you getting on preptests? 173

3) What did you score on the June (or any previous LSAT)? 178
