I'm Free
I finally checked my September score (crazy, I know) and I got a 172. One and done. I'm in Canada, so thats well above the medians for every school right now. I just started my 3rd year of uni, my GPA is fine and I don't see it dipping significantly in the next 2 years. I literally can't believe it. I'm considering picking up some tutoring job, for a very low rate because I don't think I'm crazy qualified? My cold diagnostic was a 159, and in 4 months I got it to a 172. If anyone has questions, comments, etc, I'd love to chat or help. After months of anxiety, panic attacks, etc I am finally free! Never taking that shit again!!!

I was stuck at 164-165 for 2 months. My advice would be to drill the questions youre worst at, review EVERY question whether it was right or wrong, and to be consistent. This mostly applies to LR, though. For RC, practice and identifying why I might have missed or misunderstood a question helped most. I tried the bibles but personally they did not help. Anf if you cannot understand a question's explanation, use reddit or even AI if thats what youd prefer, to break it down until its explained in a way that makes sense to you. Sorry for the ramble, I'd love to connect further if any of this aligned with you! :)

Dude that's huge, congrats. A 172 in one shot while juggling uni is no joke. I remember when I was studying for some big exam (not LSAT though) and the relief after is something else, like a weight just lifted off your whole chest.
Your diagnostic score is pretty impressive too, most people I know started way lower. The jump in 4 months shows you got a good system going. For tutoring, I'd say go for it even if you feel underqualified, sometimes explaining things to others cements it for yourself too and students probably appreciate someone who just went through the grind recently. What did your study schedule look like around your classes?
