I started legit studying using 7sage and the loophole on july 9, I have been studying everyday for a couple hours. I took a diagnostic and got 138. I m taking it the first week of October aiming for a high 160,
I need help because using 7 sage to learn foundations has left me confused and all over the place.
Can someone recommend anything different?

What I did was completely go through the Loophole first. I aimed for 1-2 chapters per study session, depending on length, which really helped me process the theory and skills needed to begin to learn logical reasoning. I took notes in a physical notebook, which helped me better connect to the material. At the beginning of the study session, I would review all my previous notes to make sure I had the ideas down before moving on.
Then, once I finished the loophole, I moved on to 7Sage foundations, and worked beginning to end. This helps you connect to what you learned in the Loophole, all the while solidifying what you previously studied. Then just continue with the 7Sage lessons, and now that you have the foundations down, you are building tangible skills and putting both the Loophole and Foundations to use.
Why I liked Loophole: It better explained the framework for conditional and causal reasoning, and also has more beginner-friendly language for those who have never had any kind of logic training before. Though I have moved on from the loophole and CLIR framework, it's still part of my arsenal of tools.
Hope that helps!
I had the same issue, I am feeling somewhat so discouraged... First Diagnostic was a 130, then 137, then (untimed) 146, then timed 137. I plan to test in November. I was initially aiming for a 160, but I am ok with the 150's range.
i’m also in san diego and my diagnostic was also 138! i read the loophole first and it allowed me to bump up 6 points after a month. then i started the study plan on 7 sage which has been a bit confusing after using the loophole, but it’s been helpful going to the live classes
