Hi everyone!
My name is Jackson, and I have a little bit of an unorthodox path.
I'm 27, and have worked in Corporate Finance for the last 5 years. For a multitude of reasons, I have committed to a career change, and am now studying for the LSAT, with plans to take the test in June, apply in the fall, and begin in Fall 2027.
I took a timed practice test with no prep prior to building out a study plan and scored a 165 (LR -7, RC -9). With that, 7Sage recommended 19 weeks of Just Practice, meaning no lessons, just answering/reviewing/analyzing questions. However, I am a little worried that I don't totally understand the underlying concepts and am getting by on intuition (e.g. Upon reviewing questions I got correct, I don't totally understand the underlying analysis/explanation).
Should I opt for an Accelerated path to ensure I have exposure to the fundamental concepts? Should I supplement that with PTs on the weekends during the Non-Practice phase for a hybrid approach? Or should I just go with the Just Practice approach?
Thank you for spending the time to read through this. Any and all feedback is appreciated!

Accelerated is a great fit! Often people starting with very strong scores (like you) already have a good understanding of grammar. Many also come in with some background philosophy knowledge and so don't really need much on conditional logic or causal reasoning. This leads some to feel like the CC is too detailed/slow as a result. But if you're interested in fundamentals and are OK with occasionally needing to click past a lesson or two that is too basic for you, Accelerated is a good choice.
I’m kinda in the same boat overall and abt a week into the fundamentals and id highly suggest the accelerated path as it really does help flesh out your intuition
