Why your LSAT score stopped moving

First, the thing nobody selling prep will say plainly: no course, book, tutor or app can tell you what score you will get. Anyone promising a number is selling you the promise. What can be said usefully is why improvement stalls, because the pattern is consistent.

More questions is the wrong lever

Volume works early, when a lot of what you are missing is unfamiliarity. Then it stops, and it stops for a specific reason: doing more questions rehearses the approach you already have. If your approach has a hole in it, more repetitions make the hole more automatic.

The signature of this is a score that improved quickly and then sat in the same narrow band for weeks while your study hours stayed constant or rose. That is not a plateau in ability. It is a method that has reached its ceiling.

Find out what kind of wrong you are

"I'm bad at Logical Reasoning" is not actionable. These are, and they need completely different responses:

• Wrong on a specific question type. Narrow and fixable — learn the type's structure and its traps, and drill it deliberately.
• Right untimed, wrong timed. A pacing problem. The reasoning works; it does not work fast enough yet, and drilling harder questions will not help.
• Down to two and picking the wrong one. The most common shape at the top end. You are eliminating well and choosing badly, usually because you are picking on plausibility rather than on a specific defect in the loser.
• Misreading the stimulus. Everything downstream is doomed and no amount of answer-choice technique rescues it. Slow the first read down.
• Careless misses on questions you can do. Frustrating and cheap to fix — usually pace, fatigue, or answering the question you expected instead of the one asked.

You cannot tell these apart from a score. You can tell them apart from a record of your own misses, which is the argument for keeping one.

What actually breaks a plateau

Fewer questions, much slower review. For every miss, write the gap in one sentence and name why each wrong answer was built. It is slow, it is uncomfortable, and it is the part that compounds — which is exactly why it is the part that gets skipped when a session runs long.

Then re-test the fix deliberately. If the diagnosis was "I take the extreme answer on Strengthen questions", the check is a set of Strengthen questions a week later, not a general hope that it improved. A fix you did not verify is a fix you are assuming.
