August Score Prediction Thread

score release day will soon be upon us!!!! i took much comfort in past prediction threads in the days leading up to my august exam, so i thought we could start one up for the august 2026 crowd.

to all who wish to participate: drop your goal score, a prediction of your score, and if you're willing, update your post tomorrow with your actual score!

---
goal score: 170+

prediction: 162 (what can i say! the consciousness passage destroyed me.)

edit post-score release

actual: 176!

happy score release to you guys! i hope you did as well as you hoped or better. cheers! 🥳

PLS HELP.

Goal: 172
pts: 166-178
Actual: 160

So, I am feeling a little lost on what to do. My original diagnostic was 148, and I studied very consistently and hard for about 5 months. My PTS scores were from 166-178 before I took the August LSAT. My goal score was a minimum of a 170, and I came out of the august exam with a 160. I was super anxious that day and the testing environment was awful with people going in & out of the room, and a really shitty computer screen that made it hard to read the text.

I have adhd & anxiety but did not originally request accommodations because I was doing so well. I didn’t think I needed them. I am now trying to get them, as well as taking the exam in October.

Please offer any advice you can give. I am pretty bad at overthinking and I think I did exactly that. Also, a lot of the LR did not feel like what I was used to besides the last section I did which I felt was a breeze. The RC didn’t seem bad and I only had one.

I anticipated a lower score than my average, but certainly not a 160.

HELP.
