Self-study
So I started studying for the LSAT last September and wanted to take the November LSAT, but I wasn't getting higher than a 150, so I decided against that. I am now back to studying and want to take the June or August LSAT. But I just aren't sure about how to go about studying. I wouldn't say I totally need to start over because I do have a basis. Does it make sense for me to use the study plan on here and do lessons for like 5 weeks and then practice for 3? I also have the loophole book, so how can I incorporate that into my studying?

Hi, I began my studying by reading the Loophole. That took me a month to complete as I took detailed notes and spent a lot of time with the book understanding conditional logic and assumptions. After that I spent about 7 weeks on the powerscore bibles (I would skip this however as I didn't find much of its material to be especially valuable to me). After those 2-3 months of just reading the books and occasional LR drilling, I began drilling on 7sage and attending like 6 live classes a week. I was doing drills mainly for about a month along with reviewing my wrong answers. I began focusing on timing after having about 75% accuracy on my drills. At this point I began doing timed LR sections. I was able to get my LR to a consistent -3. However, I realized my RC was in desperate need of attention and I have spent the last month focusing on RC simply by attending Live RC Classes and doing RC drills, as well as going through the entire RC curriculum on 7sage. Now my times RC sections are at -5/-7 just from doing that.
I have increased my diagnostic score from a 153 to 166 in that time. Being that we have 2 weeks to register for the June LSAT, I think you would most benefit from focusing on the August LSAT. Also, it is very important to remain consistent with your studying. try not to become discouraged if your score does not increase automatically. Good luck :)
