Score decreases normal during preparation?

[hyperfang9000]

Hello! I only recently started my LSAT prep journey in January, and I was feeling really motivated from the start because on my first practice test I got a 170. However, after 4 weeks of following the Powerscore LSAT Bible study plan using the Powerscore LSAT Bibles, I just took my second test and got a 162. I'm feeling really down -- are score decreases normal? Any insight would be really helpful because I'm still pretty new in my prep, so I would really appreciate insights!

It's actually quite common across all non-fact-based learning endeavors. I wrote more about it as far as LSAT here: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/why-di ... -studying/

Don't focus on your scores just yet, worry more about whether you understand the way these questions are constructed, the concepts LSAC is using, and the methods to solve them.

You'll be ok!
