Hi guys,
I am registered for the July 13th LSAT. (Today is May 27th). I am contemplating whether or not I should invest into the 7Sage course. According to the Study schedule generator, I would have to work 134 hours per week. There is a total of 168 hours per week. Assuming I sleep 7 hours per day that gives me 112 hours per week. Which seems impossible. However, I have been self-studying since August of 2019 and my score increased from my cold diagnostic of 147 to my most recent being a 160. I have also did the powerscore bibles on logical reasoning and logic games. I want to maximize my score as much as I can and I find the 7Sage course breakdown one that I could productively follow rather then just doing preptest over and over and not seeing much improvement.
Would it be a good idea/possible for me to finish the entire course by July 13th given that I have a moderately advanced understanding of most topics in the course but I feel relearning them in a different way will help me become more effective at the LSAT. Or is that just wishful thinking and I should just continue doing preptests and reviewing. Moving my test date is something I do not want to do as I am planning to apply to Canadian law schools for the fall of 2021 which opens up this coming summer.

IMO if you have to do July 13, then your better bet is to do PTs, evaluate weak points, and look at the CC for specifically those areas.
Ideally though it's probably better to reschedule the test if you can. The theory is undoubtedly important, but being able to apply that theory consistently and at a good pace takes a long time for most people.
I totally understand what you are saying however, the section where I struggle the most with is logical reasoning. I typically get 1-3 marks off Logic games, Reading comp I have been recently get 3-5 marks off of timed sections, but logical reasoning is very inconsistent where I get anywhere from 3-9 marks off. When I review those sections, 2 of those marks are typically ones where I should have gotten and the rest are ones where I am able to narrow it done to two answer choices and always seem to pick the wrong one. My thinking is if I am able to complete the theory portion of logical reasoning even just that, I feel like I could close the gap and become consistent with logical reasoning since I feel strongly in logic games and reading comprehension. Also theres the point of I did Preptests 29-38 logical reasoning sections timed and I noticed that trend of consistently sometimes getting 21/24 and other times totally going the opposite way of 16/25. I have heard from people (including 7Sage) to not waste preptests and I feel doing just preptests would be a waste especially because I am not improving.
