I need some advice on what I should do and I'm not gonna lie, I'm struggling a bit.

I had planned to take the December LSAT and I've been working hard since July, but I'm kind of burnt out and not seeing much improvement. I had a cold diagnostic of 137 (first time I ever take it) and I'm scoring in the 148 range based on three practice tests. I feel like I understand the material MUCH better and I can even get a majority of the questions right on practice problems when untimed, but you throw 35 minutes in the mix - just done for the most part.

I have definitely gotten better with reading comprehension, but I'm inconsistent with Logical Reasoning. Logic Games is leaps in bounds my best section. I only missed like three questions in a practice section the other day on LGs, which is pretty dope.

I've took a the Powerscore full-course and went through all the books. I'm still struggling and there's no point in taking the test in December if I'm not scoring where I'm aiming (mid-high 160s at the very least). I'm seriously considering waiting until the February test because most deadlines wouldn't have passed at that time - Virginia, Vanderbilt, Minnesota, I think Duke, Tulane and Penn.

Some questions I have...

(1) What other books and materials can I get to help out? I'm thinking about getting Powerscore's Bibles and Workbooks since that's the method I've already learned.

(2) Does anybody have a study schedule that they'd recommend?

(3) What worked for you specifically on the LSAT?

Just general thoughts on ways to get better at the LSAT. May take a couple weeks to regroup, structure a plan, and then prepare hard for February (if that's the decision).

Thanks guys.

You want to go from a 148 to high 160's... I think that is a little bit optimistic, but what do I know. Maybe you can do it. Def wait until February though, that way you have a full 3 months to prep yourself.

I like Manhattan LSAT books over Power Score Bibles.

Yeah, if you haven't peaked yet which seems to be the case, continue studying.

I'm not sure if you can meet your goal in the next few weeks. However, I would suggest not canceling until sooner to the date-- you're already going to incur the cancellation fee. If you are able to consistently score in the 160's by the test date, I say go for it. If you can't, cancel, and register for a later date.

Good luck studying!

You're looking to bridge a pretty immense gap, especially since you've already put in a substantial amount of studying. I would say all over this forum you'll find people who are proponents of Manhattan and the Bibles, but pretty much anyone will tell you that you need to take a lot more PTs. This seems like it would be even more true given your problem, timing.
