i know your schedule is super slammed, but is there any way you can take a full, timed practice test? i feel like that you help you get a solid baseline of how you're performing now + to identify any potential areas of weakness you may have. it also could help you get a clear idea of how much time you'd need to spend studying btwn now and june 👍
best of luck! you've got this :)
as someone who's applied for a lot of competitive fellowships/scholarships (some that need 5+ LORs for a single application), i can tell you that your profs almost certainly will not mind refreshing the letter! if someone already likes you enough to write you a LOR, they're generally also invested in you and your success. they probably will not mind updating the letter with a new date and an added sentence or two.
if (and that is a v big if) you end the cycle unsatisfied and are planning to reapply, i would just be send an initial email thanking them for their time, sharing your results, and notifying them that you are preparing to apply again next fall. i would then follow up a little bit later and ask them if they would please consider updating + resubmitting their initial LOR.
ymmv, ofc, but i've been told that it's easier for a prof to update an existing letter than crank out a new one.
@AbigailOlson agree, i also highly highly recommend switching modalities/mixing in a new resource if you’re at a score plateau! i love the loophole as well (just finished the book yesterday, lol) and felt like the basic translation drill was essential for confronting why i kept missing easy questions i “should’ve known how to do.” i need to take a full PT still using the loophole method, but i’ve been way more accurate when doing drills on 7sage since i completed the loophole.
lest i sound like a bot, this is also not a suggestion to abandon whatever on 7sage is working for u, haha. i came to 7sage after having an overall negative experience on another lsat prep platform, and jy’s explanation of how to properly answer strengthen/weaken questions was sooooo much simpler than the wacky stuff the other platform was teaching. i keep coming here for the drills/analytics (best in the whole lsat prep industry imo), but there’s nothing wrong with mixing things up.
re: other resources, i’ve also heard really good things about the power score + lsat labs curriculum, although i’ve never used either 👍🏽
