Self-study
Hi everyone,
A few years ago, I took a diagnostic test and scored 139. I then signed up for 7Sage and finished the CC in a couple of months but never PTed. Life got in the way and I stopped my studies. I recently picked it up again and started by reading the PowerScore LR and I really liked it. I just took a PT/diagnostic and I scored 150. Still not great but actually happy that I am not scoring 139 now.
Anyways, I am wondering what my studying should start looking like. I am starting my PhD in August and I am planning to apply for law school in the fall of 2027. I will have the next 6-8 weeks to study a bit, and also planning to block of next summer for LSAT. I am also hoping to find 1-2 hours daily during my PhD this upcoming year to study for LSAT.
For my study plan, I am wondering if I should start with drilling and practice with wrong answer journal or do I have to do the CC again? I don't remember much from the CC but I actually preferred PowerScore. When I took the PT, I honestly didn't think a lot about the different questions types and just tried to answer as quickly and as best as I can. So not sure what would be the most useful next steps.
Any advice would be appreciated!!
@LowriThomas Thank you for your reply. The analytics doesn't show me my priority area by question type but it shows my priority should conditional reasoning and phenomena-hypothesis. The reason why I don't have a defined approach for each question type is there are so many of them, and it is hard to remember and not confuse how I am supposed to approach each question types, especially when I am taking a PT and there is time constraints and I just forget to even pay attention to questions types and just try to answer the questions intuitively. I haven't done my BR for the the PT I just took so that might show me a different experience.
7Sage has also changed quite a bit since I have last used it. I saw that there is a "Practice Block" feature that generates automatic practices. How do you suggest I use that? Do I make that my main study method? and go back to CC when I need to focus on theory or remember approaches to questions.
I am a bit worried about spending a few months on CC and theory only to forget them cause that was my experience the first time around. I felt like I was just watching lessons and drilling things here and there but never really internalized it.
