Hi! I'm not a Lawyer/Attorney (yet!), but I am hoping to attend Law School next Fall. Currently studying for the LSAT and hoping to know how y'all were able to improve your LSAT score?

I’ve found a lot of success through YouTube and Khan Academy. (Both free). Insight LSAT on YouTube saved me thousands of dollars.

Great to hear those resources were helpful for you! I'm also using Khan Academy, Youtube and Kaplan. Thank you for the insight.

LSAT Trainer, and LSAT Lab but I also tend to watch videos from random users via Youtube who talk about their experiences studying for/taking the exam. How much time did you spend studying for the LSAT? I took it in June but plan on retaking it in November....

No problem, what YouTube material have you found helpful?

I take it for the first time in October. Have taken what seems like a million practice tests and have made significant improvements and now I’m at my goal score.

Update: Studied for a little over 3 months using the methods above (Zero Cost). Accomplished my goal of a 160+ score, after self studying. I was pretty dedicated to studying though especially as I was closing in on 1.5 to 2 months to the test.

Spend lot of time on it, let yourself absorb the material vs cramming so it becomes second nature once you go into the test! I studied for about 7 months while working full time before I got the score I wanted

Did you get your LSAT score back yet?
