Hi all!
I just found this forum thanks to TLS forums. After much consideration and my 2016-2017 application cycle not turning out how I wanted, I have officially decided on a third retake. Previous scores: 150 (very little self-study) and 155 (Testmasters online course -didn't have time to finish and a tragic family death a week before my test date). My goal is to get into the 170's with the realistic reservation that high 160's would be great as well. With the extenuating circumstances around my previous test date and the way my cycle went, I felt I would be selling myself short without another retake.
In terms of my current study plan, I have been going back and forth on signing up for another course. While I did improve 5 points with Testmasters, I am not signing up for them again. I have been looking into 7sage (obviously) and into Blueprint. I also just purchased the LSAT Trainer and the 10 Actual Practice Tests 62-71 I already have. (I may still have the power score bibles as well, have to check...)
Overall, I am looking for guidance on if ANOTHER course is something everyone thinks is worth it? I just quit my job, so I can devote myself to full-time study, I am looking at a Sept/Oct test date and to re-apply this fall. Presently, my plan is to work through the LSAT Trainer and supplement with the free videos on 7sage... any guidance is appreciated.
Thoughts, ideas, am I missing something?

Thank you for all of the advice! I am definitely looking into 7sage. I am thinking I will do the lower package and supplement with the Preptest books and the Trainer.
Timeline wise, is it too ambitious to say Sept test date? As mentioned earlier, I am not working so I can definitely devote a lot of time to all of this, but not sure if 10 weeks is enough time?
It's not that it's too ambitious, but it is quite arbitrary. Who knows what or how much work you'll need to hit your target score. Focus on a score and forget dates. I don't honesty think 10 weeks will be enough to see the improvement you want or reach you potential. Keep working until you're consistently hitting where you want to be, then sign up for a test date.
Thank you! I am just going to dive in and see how I am feeling by the registration deadline for the Sept. test! Don't want to rush it this time around...
