Hey guys so I just took a Diagnostic (PT30) at a proctoring site and it was under real timed conditions and scored a 145 after taking 2 years off from the lsat. So brief history I took a FALL (Sep- Dec) blueprint course in NYC but at that time it was not suited for me. it was just too comical and very fast paced for me! But I decided to sit in on the Feb Lsat and I jokingly took it because I was naive and just wanted to get it over and done with and scored a 154 but again I didn't really study outside of the course. I would never blame Blueprint though for my low score- that was 10000% on my laziness.
Fast Forward to now, I plan on sitting in on either October 28th-December ( one of those dates). I have just began the CC at 7sage and feel great about the community and just overall understanding the fundamentals of it all seem so simple.Im actually looking forward to studying. Currently Im studying anywhere from 20-25 hours a week, taking weekly/ to bi-weekly PT's at the free proctoring sites and then doing the Blind Review, and just reviewing on my phone concepts from the 7sage app or Quizlet.
My top choices are {Boston U, Fordham, BC, Cornell- reaching, Georgetown} so I am aiming for 167-170s. I have a 3.6 GPA at UG, and 3.9 in Grad School (MA Program).
I know 20+ point jumps are like unheard of and mostly everyone says its impossible but given I have over 6 months of studying and when I say I'm treating it like my job- I AM! Strength is LG and RC with the blind review I average at -3/4 and weakness is LR & !
Is this realistic timing for my goal score? Any recommendation/ study tips.
I am using 7sage then reviewing the Trainer but since I started with 7sage, I want to learn the basics and use the trainer for any further clearing in LR. I have the Bibles as well although, LR really confused me which is what prompted me to 7sage. I am saving later PT's for after the CC course and doing drills with PT 20-40s. Also been using khan Academy articles and videos for RC. Do you think its possible timing wise? Anything else I should be doing.
I fell behind too had a rough weekend! But i have found a very BIG weak point from studying the CC & doing some PTs+BR. And thats WEAKEN questions& pretty much Except/unless questions. I legit spend like 5 mins on them and while its not a score increase or anything like that, i feel like its progress to notice small weak points with the LSAT plus i noticed a huge pattern in almost all of the PTs i have taken thus far. Anyways, this morning before work I managed to get in 1hr and will do another after work. Currently I'm doing 2hrs M/T/Th and 4hrs on W/F. Saturdays/Sundays I practice timed LG sections and review them slowly. I've just gotten to the point where I rather grasp wth Im doing then just counting hours per day if that makes sense. So although i only watch 4-5 videos per study sesh, I go in depth with typing notes (i print them then laminate them at the end of the week), reading comments of different ways people do a problem and it seems to be working well for me !
