Prep Help

Hey!

I just graduated from undergrad and am now taking a gap year to prepare for the LSAT and hopefully get some legal experience too! I'm dedicating the first two months (August and September). just to studying so I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to how to self study! (Books, sites, apps, classes) I'm also not sure whether to sign up for a prep course (and if so, which one). I did Kaplan last summer and didn't feel it increased my score significantly enough but I need a lot of practice and help :/ any advice would be much appreciated!!

    @7sagestudentservices There was that one guy that didn't like J.Y.'s "use of subliminal foul language throughout the course" or whatever.

    I can't believe it! These are always the highlights of my day! I can't wait for 7Sage merch to come out with f*%^ the seagulls!

    @7sagestudentservices "use of subliminal foul language throughout the course"

    to be honest, this is literally one of my FAVORITE parts about the curriculum. It lightens the mood and reminds me not to take everything so seriously. Plus, I curse like a sailor, so I felt in good company.

    That guy can take a hike. I love J.Y.

    I’m also curious as to what this dude thinks “subliminal” means.

    @2735 You can pick up The LSAT Trainer if you're not quite ready to jump into 7 Sage. Lots of people here use it with 7 Sage as a supplement and have no issues confusing the two. It's a great source for self study. It's about $45??

    Thank you very much for all your replies! Everything was so helpful. I'm going to do some self studying for a bit and then look into some 7sage options! I really appreciate all the feedback!

    @2735 Best piece of advice I can give is use the old tests (pre-PT 35) to get really, really solid on the fundamentals of each section. Do not burn through valuable, "modern" PTs. When you do start taking simulated practice tests under realistic conditions, be sure to blind review THOROUGHLY.

    Oh, and you will make lots and lots of mistakes. Don't let it discourage you. Blind reviewing will lead to fewer mistakes.

    Good Luck!

    Yeah @7sagestudentservices but that guy was just weird & didn't realize the amazing benefits of subliminal foul language, it can be very therapeutic while studying for the LSAT.

    @sheridickson10526 I don't know of anyone who has been disappointed in their decision to go with 7Sage.

    I don't know of anyone who has been disappointed in their decision to go with 7Sage. While I frequently hear regrets from those that tried other more expensive courses. Besides the course itself, you have people like Nicole, Pacifico, Corey, Allison & JY offering unparalleled guidance & webinars. All of that combined with the supportive community I feel gives most people a great foundation & value for the money.

    Let the biased opinions roll in! In all seriousness, 7Sage is by far my favorite prep course...and I've been exposed to quite a few.

    Ideally, you'll want to take a cold diagnostic (take the June '07 test, as it is readily available for free download). Check your score and see where you stand. Register for a prep course (7Sage...just sayin') or get some prep books. In any case, find a curriculum, and commit to it for the next few months. Then, when you're ready, start PTing (practice testing) and BRing (blind reviewing).

    Well, you’re definitely going to get a skewed perspective on here, but I can’t recommend 7Sage highly enough. The study strategies are incredible and the curriculum is unparalleled. Also, the wisdom, experience, and support of the community really is unbelievable. This group is constantly surprising me, and after studying for over a year I am still learning new things every day.

    Welcome to the right place! I highly recommend signing up for a 7sage course and purchasing the "10 actuals" series from Amazon.

    Good on you for taking these first steps!
