Self-study
I don't know what study plan to rely on, and I don't want to waste too many time even though I am still starting. I keep going to study the harder things I need to work on and blind review with no results. I am definitely doing something wrong, but I don't know how or what to fix. Please help.

I understand you. I’ve been studying for about a year now and it gets discouraging but don’t lose hope and don’t quit. Eventually you will get the score you want and get your law school acceptance 🙌🏾 There’s no rush to start law school asap and it’s better to apply when you feel most confident, good luck!
@CasaundraWilliams Thank you! I got my highest PT score and highest BR two weeks ago but I got my lowest PT score and secong highest BR. I am less discouraged now as scores tend to fluctuate.
Hello!
I know this is a slightly older post, but I am writing this anyway hoping it can still help!
First of all, Sage provides a great Study Plan feature, so your very first step should be to use that tool to generate a schedule based on your November test date.
Second, it is a great thing that you recognize you might be doing something wrong! That means you are willing to make a change.
Have you actually completed the core lessons on 7Sage? If not, I highly recommend finishing them completely before moving on to the practice phase. If you have already finished them, start solving questions. I don't know your exact study process, but if I were in your shoes, my loop would look like this: do a full timed PT, do an untimed Blind Review, log everything in a Wrong Answer Journal, and identify exactly which question types I am weak in.
When working on your Wrong Answer Journal, don't just stop at: 'Too bad I got this one wrong. The correct answer is (A), got it.' You have to ask yourself exactly why you chose the trap answer and why you discarded the correct one. Most importantly, ask yourself what actionable step you will take in the future to not repeat that same mistake.
Later, once you have completed all of the PTs, re-do the ones you took a few months ago. There will be questions you get wrong a second time. Those questions are gold; they indicate there is a fundamental flaw you definitely need to fix in your method or logical reasoning. You have plenty of time until November, so trust the process.
I hope this helps, and good luck!
@SerinJeon Thank You!
