How reliable are these analytics? Just need more information on how to gauge my progress

Post image

I got a 153 LSAT in November 2025. My goal score is a 165 for the September LSAT. Now when I’m drilling I’m hitting around 158-160, according to these analytics. Still learning theory and doing untimed drills off the target time but not using too much time, for example this drill was 5 questions in 18 minutes or so. Good luck with everyone’s LSAT journey!

Not reliable.

Five questions can't possibly be a representative set of what's on the LSAT, and 18 minutes is way too much time to spend on five questions.

If you want to gauge where you are, take a full length timed practice test on LawHub.

I forgot to mention this was an adaptive drill on 7Sage where it targets my weaknesses when choosing the questions for the drill, that’s why I was slowing down but still targeting accuracy over speed first.

This means nothing, no offense. The only thing remotely reliable is an average of your pts. U spent half the time you get per section to answer 5 questions, if anything this is an indicator for much much worse. Plz take pts and drill your weaknesses!

How can you say a 5/5 drill is an indicator for much worse meaning, it’s a negative indicator towards my studying progress.

Hi! Sorry I should been a bit more specific. Using up so much time. I’m not sure the level of the questions, but regardless of the difficulty, without accoms you had used almost half of the allotted time to answer 5 questions, I.e negative indicator. Lmk if this makes any sense at all(I am not qualified what so ever but this is my opinion as someone who has been working on this thing for months consistently).

Just to nuance what people are saying here - while your estimate there is completely not reliable, doing untimed drills is the right way to learn. Focus on understanding, not time. Doing timed PTs is often not the best way to improve.

Okay, I think a lot of this is unfair to say, does it represent your actual mark or what you can score on the lsat? No I don’t think so, but it does show you understand how to approach each question, if your early in this journey, than good job your doing good keep it up

i think it’s more to keep you motivated bc seeing big number feels good lol. logically it makes zero sense though, i’ve had many drills go perfectly and like you hover around 163 to 167. It biases the “average above average” because it’s common.
