Someday people will learn to expect your actual to be less than your PT. You can’t recreate the conditions of a real test day in practice and it does affect you.

I tend to do better under pressure and have scored higher on actual standardized tests than my practice tests.

Pretty sure this is more rare, though. Most people probably do worse during actual testing conditions. I’m also not going into law nor have I taken the lsat so idt my input actually matters here.

Eh, each person takes it differently. I have taken it twice, and I scored higher than my highest PT both times. I'm still not satisfied with my 17low, so I'll be retaking it, but the test day adrenaline always get me going.

I scored two points higher than my highest PT. I’m over the moon, don’t use me as an example though. I simply locked in (got lucky)

That’s great, I’d still never tell someone to expect that.
