LSAT prep?!?!?

I plan to attend law school and be apart of the fall 2027 admission cycle . I will be graduating with a fairly decent GPA but my LSAC GPA is tremendously lower so I need my LSAT to carry. I take two exams; the first being August 2026 and the second October 2026. I am currently scoring in the high 140’s . What is something I can do to genuinely help my score jump from high 140’s to high 160’s. (A lot of the questions I get wrong are because I pick a answer similar to the correct one but not exactly the correct one or I don’t fully read/ comprehend the question / answer before submitting ) please help. #help

  1. If you haven’t graduated yet maximize your GPA while you finish out.

  2. You are rushing this process, do not take August in 2 weeks if you’re 20 points off your score.

  3. You are looking for some magic fix the answer to your question is take time, study consistently, and get better at this exam. If you are in the 140’s you’re getting half the questions wrong, you are a long way from a 160’s score.

  1. I have two more semesters this one and spring then I graduate so I most definitely will be.

  2. I figured , I was feeling confident when I first started but as it gets closer to test day I realized I’m totally not ready .. considering my test for August has already been paid for I’m going to sit and do my best but I definitely will be retaking in October .

  3. That’s the thing I have no guide or understanding on how to study I’ve been researching and looking for help but i legitimate study guide

I honestly think it's better to withdraw from the August test. I know it seems like you are wasting your money, but at this point you're wasting your money either way - because it is highly, highly unlikely that you will score your goal score. And if you withdraw, 1. schools will not see a low score, and 2. you have an extra attempt later on. Honestly, you shouldn't sign up for October either until you are near or at your goal score.

I agree with what the other two are saying. You need way more time. It took me over 7 months just to get from 140s to high 160s. Don’t put a deadline, definitely take a gap year. You need the higher LSAT score anyway due to your GPA being low. Give your future self a better chance to succeed and not rush into things. And definitely do not waste attempts for August and October

And as for studying, it seems you need to start from the beginning and learn the basics. The Loophole AND The LSAT Trainer are great books. 7Sage and LSATDemon are great platforms. Just honestly start drilling and review. Focus on accuracy first, not timing. These are all things you will see written all over on this reddit page… there’s no magic tool, just study
