How I Raised My LSAT Score by 30+ Points (Self-Study Plan and Materials)
I am unfortunately not accepting students for LSAT tutoring at this time. However, I highly recommend Sam from Houston LSAT for tutoring needs in all sections. Feel free to reach out to Sam at [email protected]!

EDIT: I did not go to Yale undergrad, but I can totally see why people thought I did based the structure of my sentence at the beginning of the video. Yale Law School has a very different application process than other law schools – I didn’t finish my application until February, which is why I mentioned Yale by name. I should’ve said “I’m just finishing up my Yale application” instead. Sorry for any confusion!

Hi everyone ❤Thank you all so much for support. When I posted this video, I never imagined that it would help so many people. Reading your comments (especially the ones about score increases!) brings me so much joy. Without a doubt, knowing I helped others with their LSAT journey has been my most meaningful achievement in life. Due to a conflict of interest, I have not been able to offer tutoring since the summer of 2021. I have received hundreds of DMs and messages about tutoring, and i’m so sorry that i’m not able to provide it at this time. I highly suggest that you use Khan Academy, 7Sage, and LSAThacks to help you while studying, and I recommend looking for a private tutor through the LSAT Reddit page, if needed. I have also seen dozens of comments asking me where I ended up going to law school. I plan on posting a video with all of my application stats (softs, GPA, etc.) and answering all of your questions before the end of the year. Again, the reactions to this video mean more than the world to me. I am so incredibly thankful for you all and wish you nothing but the best on your LSAT journey. As I said in the video, “If I can do it, you can do it.” ❤
Huge motivation. I do well on everything except reading comprehension. any more recommendations on the section?
This video gives me hope. I tested at 139. I'm looking to retest in January. So nervous. This video is relatable. I feel motivated again. And shot out to the dope album covers on the wall. Classics.
I’m losing hope 🙁 I’m glad I found this video.
Thank you. This gave me so much hope.
Hey just came back to this video. I finally understand logic games from this video. Khan academy is THE game changer. Also, if anyone sees this. LSAT is not your brains but ability to practice the formulas for this test and analyze information
Inspiring and genuine 👍
Is Con Academy some type of website where you take practice questions?
Use LSAT Demon!!!
this gave me sm more confidence in studying for my last, thank you so much
2022 was the toughest year of my life: relatives passed away, got covid, stress from school/work/internship, and ofc the LSAT. i took the official test in october and got a 146. i was devastated, but registered for the february 2023 test date. i have one month to raise my score and this video really motivated me to push myself. i've been averaging around 150-154 for PT's and i need at least a 157 for my dream school. i haven't studied since october bc of how frustrated i was (plus finals), but now i'm gonna use my frustration as fuel. i can't afford to take a gap year so i have to make this count. thank you sm for posting this video <3 i'll come back here after i take the february test and share my results/experience w it 🙂
How do I sign up for you classes…I’m taking the lsat in June and my anxiety isn’t making progress on the practice tests
So much respect. I work as a paralegal and I don't have 6 hours extra a day. Prep will be 1.5 years for me!
Great job girl!
I’ve been taking notes page by page is that not effective ? I have all the Bible’s and I just take notes and drills at the end. I am not sure if I’m wasting time but it has helped me understand . What do you think ?
How do I find your free tutoring for logic games?
Great tips, also really encouraging because I havent taken a practice test at all since im still drilling and usingg foolproof method for LG
What offers did you get? 🎉
great video! what law school did you end up going to and how you liking it?
Thank you for this video. If I am gleaning from your video correctly, it appears fair to say that LSAT Trainer and Kaplan are the strongest logical reasoning resources while Khan is best suited for Analytical Reasoning.
I cold scored a 140 a month ago and was able to get my RC to-7 and scored a 153 in the process! But just one week later and I'm consistently scoring RC-20+ and just got a 134 today. Any advice to get out of this funk?
Hi Nadia! This is great info! Is there another way we can reach you for LSAT information?
I am taking the lsat thank you for these tips love. You look great!
Thank you! I needed this. My plan is to go to lawschool after my master's. You're inspiring!
Thank you for the insight! I'm still on the journey, and yes it is tough! I've burnout too and also thought it wasn't possible.
Hi Nadia! Thank you for this amazing video : ) Was just wondering if you could help out with some sources to access free practice tests other than the few available on Khan Academy ?
your a minority law school will be free…not that you shouldnt study BUT cmon now. Tell us more about where your family is from…#AmericanDrean
this video gives me a lot of hope because i’m struggling right now. i’m 26 and went back to school to finish my bachelors, having a bit of a later start to all of this due to some unfortunate circumstances that happened in my life. logic games was actually my strong point, logical reasoning is my struggle section. but i’ve actually been using khan academy too! so i’m glad it helped you! im going to get those books as well. because the fundamentals of the logical reasoning is really what i need to be focusing on. i also have always been good with reading comp, but in thr LSAT not so much hahah. thank you so much for making this video! im determined to follow my dreams and make it into law school!
I'm giving myself 3-4 years to study. I am starting with a 136, I took the Khan exam blind to have a "This is what I'm coming into this study with" baseline.
My practice tests are at 148, I need a 165 for the school I want to get into. Hopefully with a lot of hard work I can get my score up like you.
Ngl I would be so demoralized if my diagnostic was 130s. I got 156. Props for keeping with it
I scored the same on my Prep one but Ihad my kids interrupting me so ima do another prep test alone to get a more accurate scoring to be more more accurate
this video helps so much, thank you so much!!!
Where do you go to take blind review?
Hello, I had a question for you. If you had to learn LR from a foundational point, would it be LSAT Unlocked as your first choice or go through LSAT Trainer for a basic understanding of it?
Hi Nadia, thank you for sharing. Where do you do your practice test?
Did you split your study sessions into different times or 7 hours straight?
You have given me motivation to get my ass back to studying my first score was a 150, felt like my world ended. This has given me the guideline and drive to keep going. Ty queen 💗💗
Very informative – – thanks for sharing!!
what was your undergraduate degree??
Very proud very impressive
