Hi All,
As displayed by the title, I am unsure how to proceed with my study strategy. Yes, I have seen the post-cc study webinar by Josh. I have taken two PTs since completing the CC and have been hovering around the high 140s (148 most recently) under timed conditions and the low 160s (162 most recently) for BR. Although admissions in my location have been complicated by coronavirus, my goal remains to obtain a 165. That would put me in Phase I, meaning foolproofing, drilling and returning to the curriculum should take up most of my time. However, I have a few qualms with the advice given in the webinar and no one is posting on the discussion over there so I thought I would create an independent discussion.
In essence, I feel that I need to take more PTs in order to seriously gauge where I am at with this test, which is obviously contrary to the advice given in that webinar. I have taken a few PTs, and have felt that both time pressures and familiarity with LSAT questions are the main obstacles for me right now. I have revisited the CC and tried drilling specific LR questions and RC passages, however, I have found that my memory of these questions has limited any progress that can be garnered from them. Ultimately, I do not believe I have the data to be justifiably drilling specific questions - I am scoring badly in LR and RC in general. LG is the only section in which I am seeing value in drilling old games, which obviously makes sense given it is the more formulaic section.
This isn't a knock against 7sage - I understand this may partly be because I am on a Premium subscription, so I have not had the exposure to the more difficult problem sets that most 7sagers have by the time they finish the CC. I simply feel as though I have reached the point of diminishing returns with the CC and am still at a stage of general incompetence with this test (lol). Hence, I need to take more PTs and seek out other study materials in between, before I can properly identify my weaknesses. I have subsequently purchased the LSAT Trainer and have been working through that in concert with foolproofing LG.
tl:dr I am not gaining much from revisiting the CC or drilling old questions, is there any alternate strategy beyond PT+BR? (scoring in the high 140s :/)
Wow, 3 years is a long haul, congrats on hanging in there!
Quite an overlooked observation you made in regards to people that appear to just blitz the test cold. I have never played video games, but I definitely got lulled into rote learning and being spoon fed throughout high school, so the demands of the LSAT have been a massive reality check, and I've had to give myself more time to adjust as a result.
Congrats again! :)
