@ Haha that sounds too easy to be true, but if that helps I'm gonna give it a try too.

Hey polscken,

Thanks! I think I should take a diagnostic test before I continue studying..? I read that I shouldn't "waste" the recent actual tests on early prep. Which test should I take for my diagnostic?

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I am new to this discussion (and the LSATs). I just started studying on my own last week (read half of an old PowerScore Logic Games Bible) but I haven't taken a cold diagnostic test yet. I was planning to take a Test Masters prep course that'll start in late Sept but after reading some discussion blogs and comments, it seems like self-studying might be more effective and useful (with the right materials)? I've also read a chapter of Mike Kim's The LSAT Trainer.

Currently I have the following:

10 New Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests with Comparative Reading: (PrepTests 52-61)

The LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim

2006 or 2007 PowerScore Logic Games Bible

What else should I buy? Which materials should I start with? Would you guys recommend finishing the LSAT Trainer on my own first before taking a 7Sage course?

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Alice

I'm so glad I found this discussion. Thanks everyone for being so supportive and helpful. I like the gym analogy, @ - I definitely understand that it really depends on my own commitment, diligence and focus to improve and do well on the LSATs. Thanks!

@ S - I think I've read enough comments and recommendations to go with 7Sage, thanks!

@-1 Yes I've definitely heard that the LG portion is the easiest (to study for) and with practice, I should be able to get -0 (hopefully). LR I think I'll definitely improve over time after I learn the materials from the course and train my brain to think in more logical ways. For RC... I feel myself rushing through the paragraphs and in order to have enough time to answer the questions.. If I read faster, I'll miss important points and meanings but if I read slower, I won't have time to even read and answer the questions. I think I'll need to figure out the right speed to read (by practice) in order to maximize my understanding and have enough time left to find the right solution.

Thanks for the suggestion! Does the 7Sage course provide official LSAT tests? Or do I have to buy them separately?

Hey guys,

I just took my first cold diagnostic test (June 2007) and I got a 152. I know that puts me at around ~52 percentile right now... My goal is a 170+. How many points do people generally jump before and after taking the 7Sage course? Of course I know this differs for everyone but my question is, how realistic is it to jump 20 points if I want to take the Feb 2015 exam?

This is my breakdown for the points I missed:

S1 LG -10

S2 LR -10

S3 LR -10

S4 RC -7

Any suggestions/tips are welcome!

Thanks,

Alice

Thanks everyone! I just took the June 2007 exam as my cold diagnostic. I think i will start off with the LSAT Trainer book and 7sage and then move on from there :)
