I read your numbers, and I am amazed (and impressed) by your LSAT score...how did you do it? Did you take a course? If so, did you find that it helped?
I am planning to take the LSAT in June and I am eager to learn any bit of information that might help boost my score. I have scored in the 160s on 7 out of 7 practice tests, but I can't seem to get above a 165. Any thoughts? |

I did not take a course but did a fair number of old LSATs as preparation. This helped me mainly with the games part of the test. However, the real reason for my high score is that I have been a philosophy grad student for 4 years and the LSAT tests for exactly the set of skills that philosophers employ every day. As for advice I can only say that I am convinced that the LAST tests mainly for familiarity and skill, and only very little for innate ability. It should therefore be very useful to do many old LSATs and perhaps also practice with logic puzzles that are close to the LSAT games in structure. One more thing: a fellow philosophy grad student who has worked as a Princeton Review LSAT teacher claims that a prep course has very little to offer someone who is already scoring around 165. The courses are mostly geared towards people who have considerably lower starting points.
