Self-study
Hello 7sagers. So.........now that this June LSAT is done....now what? I have taken about 3 days off and I am already itching to start studying again (I am SO bored and the LSAT is my main stimulant.) However, I did put about 5 months of drilling into this LSAT and I will only have 3 months for the September LSAT from now. I do have an idea of what I'll need to study for this next "season" of studying but, I'm not too sure how to approach it. Should I go over the core lessons again, should I just pick up where I left off, or is there another approach? Thanks in advance for any guidance that anyone can provide me.

I think taking a break is important. I also did the June LSAT, and I'm feeling the same way in terms of 'itching' but I think it's mostly the adrenaline from the test. For me, progress comes from consistency, not the Herculean pushes I sometimes want to execute. Everyone is different, so take the following with a grain of salt. If I were giving myself advice, I wouldn't recommend wiping the data at all, because I still think it's quite valuable to have that unique profile. Though it might feel difficult, I'd take a few more days off, focus on replenishing (good food, sleep, getting outside for some sunlight and exercise if possible, spending time with some friends), and then sit down and re-audit where I need to improve, and see if there are any inconsistencies between the data and what I'm thinking. I use PTs for this personally, so I would ease back into a PT next week and look at where I'm falling short again, and build training plans around that. But like I said, everybody's different, and this is how I'm approaching the same feeling right now. Disclaimer is also I'm not an LSAT expert or tutor or anything, just another LSAT student trying to get by :'''')
And would one recommend "wiping" my study history on 7sage?
@HunterThoss I would not do that if you are planning on taking the test again...why would you erase all your valuable analytics? I took the test in April knowing I was going to continue studying and aside from taking a short break, I just kept studying as if I had not taken it yet. Think of it as just a practice test that will give you more data.
@HunterThoss would creating a new study plan through 7sage be considered "wiping"? bc I was thinking about doing that, but now I don't know if that's wise, but I feel that having a structured study plan was extremely helpful.
