CONGRATS. What was your diagnostic score?
About average... maybe 155 or so

Congratulations! That's so impressive! How long have you been studying?
Thank you, that's very kind. I think with steady dedication anyone can do it
I've been studying for a year on and off (more on than off).

That's awesome! Congrats!!! Did you BR the whole test or just over and underconfidence areas?
Just circled questions.
I honestly did not think I could break into the 170's. But on Friday I scored 174 on PT 76.
I just let go of the results of each test and did my best to BR every test.
Something that really helped me was BRing the next day. I was too excited to check my score and so the bulk of my br's were sloppy. Once I did that I got a few 169's and lo and behold
@leo555 thanks for the tips. I think I may have to check out the CC once again because I glossed over much of it as well. It may have to do with overconfidence too, like @jordankennedy480 suggested. I think I'm going to spend a couple of days drilling and practicing with these suggestions in mind.
I'll report back and feel free to do the same!
Thanks for the tips Nessa. I've been meaning to join a BR call but my schedule couldn't accommodate it. Hopefully I can join the next few.
Timing is somewhat of an issue. I finish just in the nick of time, and my instinct is to generally not skip RC questions.
So I've been studying for the LSAT for a year and some change now.
Finally decided to sign-up for 7Sage in December.
I was averaging around 165 with BR's in the 168-9. I went through the curriculum and for my last 4 PT's my actual score is still around 165, BR score has been in the low to mid 170's. My major improvements came in LG and LR.
I miss anywhere from 4-7 on LR (mostly PSA and Flaws)
-0/-1 in LG
5-9 in RC.
I'm hopeful that with another two months of studying I can shave off a couple of mistakes from my LR and consistently hit -0 on LG. But my Reading Comprehension is so incredibly inconsistent.
A lot of times I'll do -2/-1 on RC drills but when I sit to take the real thing all hell breaks loose.
I've watched the webinars on Reading Comprehension and make an effort to read actively but this is just driving me nuts.
I remember when I first started studying for the test, RC was by far my best section (-2/-3). After a year of studying I'm missing three times that much.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I would say I was around 175 BR once I finished the Core Curriculum. I just listened to what @jhaldy10325 had to say about learning the material and not focusing too much on numbers. I occasionally went back to the CC for drills and brush ups but the majority of time between PT's was spent on drilling sections.
Hope this helps!
