Thanks for the webinar!!
Hi,
I just recently started 7Sage with Ultimate+ and I’m loving it so far. I set my Study Schedule for the next 8-10 months because I’m working full time and am in school. My diagnostic was a 144 and I’m aiming for a 170+.
I’m set to complete the CC by October with 20 hours per week and then I will do one or two PTs with intensive BRing per week. I will continue to PT and BR weekly until I’m comfortable with my score and hope to sit for the real exam by around March/April so that I have June and July as backups because I intend to apply in September 2021.
Is this a good idea? I ask because I’ve noticed that most people study for this exam for three or four months.
Also, does anyone have any advice or tips for studying long term?
I already occasionally read the New York Times opinion articles for fun, but I’m willing to do more of it and pick up The Economist science section to increase my speed and interest levels in the science passages in RC. My school offers both for free to me and I enjoy it, so it’s no hassle at all to me.
Thank you!

Since I haven’t done either yet, I was thinking of using The Loophole first for the fundamentals of reading and understanding the stimulus and then the CC for understanding and approaching each question type.
Does it work well together with the content in the CC for 7Sage?
Should I do one before the other? I'm about to start the CC for LR soon with Ultimate+.
I've got plenty of time since I'm registered for the April 2020 LSAT.
Thank you!

@ I’ve already finished my major, minor, and general education requirements but I’m required to stay for at least another semester (the Fall). This means that I’m just taking electives and easier classes with some professors I like (that will write my recommendation letters). I will also be taking one fewer class than normal so that I have more time to work and study for the LSAT.
I’m fairly confident I can manage As and A-s, maybe a B+ or two, but either way the GPA would increase. My GPA isn’t that high because of freshman year, but I’m on an upward trend. I don’t think I would fail or anything, barring an unforeseen disaster as you pointed out.
I’m entering my final year of undergrad. I’m able to graduate in December (one semester early) with a 3.6x GPA and I’m taking a gap year to work full time and finish up on preparing for the LSAT (aiming for a 170+).
I’m currently taking 7Sage Ultimate+ and will be practice testing with blind review for at least the next 8-10 months (already been studying with PowerScore for one month). I’m working full time right now for the summer at an internship and will be in class during the school semester, so this timeline works for me. I will apply in September 2020 for law school to enter in Fall 2021.
If I graduate in December, I will have a high 3.6x GPA and then begin working full time and continuing to study for the LSAT.
However, I could also stay for the final semester and graduate in May. I would take easier courses and spend more time with my professors that will write my recommendation letters. By doing this I can achieve a low 3.7x GPA. I also find studying for the LSAT to be easier while in college than working full time (more free time to study for LSAT).
Is it worth graduating normally to get a low 3.7x GPA as opposed to graduating early with a high 3.6x to get into a T14 (assuming I get a 170+ on the LSAT)?
Thank you for your help!

@ Thanks for the advice. I truly appreciate it.
Just for clarification, I would be graduating in December 2019, and then applying in September 2020, which means I wouldn’t actually be in law school until August 2021. So this would essentially be a 1.5 year long gap. I will be working full time throughout this period though.
Hi, I’ve been studying for the LSAT for 1.5 months now. I finished all three PowerScore Bibles and just started going through Fox’s LR Encyclopedia that drills LR in PTs 40-60 (haven’t even gone through half of this book yet, his explanations are bad). I’ve also been trying to foolproof LG, but I’ve only done about 10 so far and have noticed some improvement; I believe more improvement will come with time as I go through more foolproofing.
I have PTs 19-72. My diagnostic score was 143 on PT 19. After 1.5 months of doing the above, my score on PT 63 was 148 with a BR score of 158.
I initially wanted to take the LSAT in September and October to apply for this upcoming cycle, but I feel that postponing it would benefit me more. I’m willing to take a gap year and work full time as I will be graduating from undergrad in December. I’m aiming for a 170+ and will probably take the LSAT sometime in early 2020.
My question is, which 7Sage package should I get?
I plan to study 4-5 hours per day almost every day of the week and more on weekends as I’m working full time now.
What PTs would be left over/fresh to use after completing the course?
Also, how long would it take to go through the course curriculum? I plan to spend the time after the course for PTs.
One concern I have is that if I get a certain package, what if the video explanations or drills are useless to me because I’ve already been exposed to those materials from my previous study in PowerScore and Fox’s Encyclopedia (PTs 40-60, but again I have barely gone through this).
What percent range would you say is a reach, safety, or target school?
