@stepharizona288 I circle the questions I wasn't 100% on and then re-do them during Blind Review. My un-circled questions are factored into my blind review score but I do not re-do them.
@mrosa1210177 I guess the common misconception is that the amount of PT's are useless if you do not throughly review your test. Is that a correct assessment?
Most of your gains (after curriculum phase) are seen with a VERY thorough blind review. PTs are absolutely wasted if you're not doing this after each and every one. It forces you to address and correct your faulty reasoning.
@cmelman95659 Thanks for your kind advice! I usually spend 2 days blind reviewing my test but use an additional day to review the questions I got wrong. I was supposed to take another PT today but I feel like 7Sage would endorse waiting until I fully grasp my mistakes and maybe drill individual sections instead of rushing towards another PT?

@mrosa1210177 I think that's good; it means you fundamentally grasp the concepts, but due to time pressure or tunnel vision or a misreading of the question or some combination of those three you're not producing the goods when you take the test. Try to focus on what exactly the question is asking for, why the right answers are right, why the wrong ones are wrong, and why you reasoned the way you did when you took the test for realz. Maybe you'll realize that something is repeatedly tripping you up.
Does anyone see a huge gap between their actual score and blind review? Currently, I have 11 more points on my blind review, roughly 18 questions more.
@tanes25413 I also take individual sections when I cannot take a full timed PT. I actually managed to take 3 sections of a PT yesterday and finished it today so I can hopefully join the BR call tomorrow night.
Great call on individual LG and LR sections during the week. I have been adding a few timed RC's from 1-35 during the week as well and I think that is helping a lot to stay on track.
All advice appreciated in the juggling act to study:)
I have been buying the books used on Amazon. Which helps curbed the cost a bit. Any suggestions to find them cheaper? Yeah. The podcast is great. It's almost like free instruction and provides discussion on other topics like applications, school rankings, and personal statements.
@tanes25413 I also really enjoy the Thinking LSAT podcast. It's perfect for keeping my mind on the subject matter while doing things that prohibit me from actively studying.
Hey guys! How is your prep for the June test going? I'm a few weeks in an have already made huge improvements. Can I also recommend the Thinking LSAT podcast. The discussion has really helped me.
@twssmith644 thanks for the encouragement but I was in the same boat as you.. was rushing through the curriculum and PT's for the December 2015 test (mainly the 40s and one of the 60s) when a month before the test I realized that I was nowhere near prepared and making a lot of unwarranted assumptions in my reasoning. That came from not mastering the curriculum. Aiming for June (*fingers crossed*), and hoping that I make my new schedule lol
@mrosa1210177 & @7sagestudentservices Both of you are being smart to not rush! Wish I wasn't studying the curriculum a 2nd time because I rushed focusing on a Dec 2015 target date. I wasted 10 PT's and so much time before I finally listened to the 7Sage advice to thoroughly do the curriculum and have a sound base of the fundamentals before the PT phase. All the best:)
@mrosa1210177 I'm probably 2 weeks behind my study schedule, was originally going to start PTing in February then end of February, now its probably going to be beginning of March.. The most important thing I think is that your ready curriculumwise before you start PTing..
Has anyone run into a study schedule conflict? I was supposed to end my curriculum at the end of February and start PT but it looks like I'll be waiting until early March. I am in no way going to rush!
hey i was looking for a prep class and was considering sage's starter package. obviously because its affordable compared to the others. wanted to get some feedback if anyone has taken the class.
please leave your score and what class you took if you can
Hey guys! I'm also taking the June test :) It'll be my first time.
I've only taken two PTs so far from The Official LSAT Superprep (A and B - haven't done C yet) and by far my worst section is Logic Games. Improved from a 151 on the first test to a 153 the second one with about a month of studying in between. As far as the games go I'm digging JY's approach and looking forward to getting those suckers down to a t.
Before starting with 7sage I was using Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer which is awesome and I highly recommend. If your eyes need a break from the computer the Trainer has some super useful drills for flaws and other reasoning questions. I continue to go back to the book and find it to be a nice complement to this curriculum. Completely worth the $43.
Looking forward to sharing stories throughout this rigorous study period!

@stepharizona288 I circle the questions I wasn't 100% on and then re-do them during Blind Review. My un-circled questions are factored into my blind review score but I do not re-do them.
Just to confirm, is that after reviewing the entire test, or only after the ones that you circled for blind review?
Most of your gains (after curriculum phase) are seen with a VERY thorough blind review. PTs are absolutely wasted if you're not doing this after each and every one. It forces you to address and correct your faulty reasoning.

Shooting for June as well. Currently PTing in 160-165 range and hoping for >170 by test time
I really hope I can join at least a few of the BR sessions.. I'm slowly going through the curriculum STILL.. That is coupled with drilling..
Woohoo!!! but I am going to be late joining:(
GO slowwwwwww on the intro's, come up with the best stumper intro question ever:)
I have a class until 8:30 est and I really need help on the 1st LR.
Missed y'all and can't wait!
Yay!
@tanes25413 I also take individual sections when I cannot take a full timed PT. I actually managed to take 3 sections of a PT yesterday and finished it today so I can hopefully join the BR call tomorrow night.

I plan to take LSAT on June this year and work full-time, too!
To be more specific, I work 70 hours per week!
10 full tests. But, I do a lot of individual timed sections also. For example, I do a section of games and a section of LR 3-4 nights a week
@tanes25413 How many PT's are you planning on taking?
I have been buying the books used on Amazon. Which helps curbed the cost a bit. Any suggestions to find them cheaper? Yeah. The podcast is great. It's almost like free instruction and provides discussion on other topics like applications, school rankings, and personal statements.

Thanks for the comments! How are you going about purchasing prep tests 36-75?
Cambridge LSAT has them individually as pdf's for $9 and Amazon has the book form 29-36 and 41-50, etc. for I believe $20 each.

@brown373879 Might be better to make a separate thread if you want an answer for this!
