if I purchase the starter pack at $179, and I upgrade the course, does it just extend the length of the course or do I also get the extra PT explanations of the Premium stuff?

I took a BluePrint course for 3 months and self-studied for the LSAT for a full year back in 2015, but ended up quitting earlier this year after encountering severe burnout and score stagnation. I was lucky enough to find a job at a reputable company in Silicon Valley which was great, but I still have desire to attend law school.
After throughly going over BluePrint, PowerScore, and parts of the LSAT Trainer, I still couldn't get my score over 155. I feel like I tried everything, and in some ways, I'm still hesitant about starting again due to fear of failure. Is there anything in the 7Sage curriculum that distinguishes it from the rest? I'm planning on purchasing the Ultimate bundle, but I don't want to waste money if it won't help me with the problems I faced the first time.
Thanks
I stopped studying for the LSAT back in January after a year of 8hr study days and little progress. I went through the Blueprint curriculum and read the PowerScore bibles, but never hit my target score. I've been thinking of getting back into it now that I have a full-time job, but I don't want to put my hopes into another prep course if it won't deliver. What different things in LR and RC does 7sage offer that the others don't exactly?
Thanks,
Thanks for the replies everyone.
@nicole I might be able to leave work early to make BR sessions on Tuesdays/Thursdays. Since I stopped studying in mid-January, I've regained my energy but when it comes to this test, I'm not as optimistic as I was 6-months ago. Just logging into this website gets me down...
I'm in the process of saving money for the starter pack. After what 7sage has done for me with LG, I have a little faith that it'll help me with LR.

At first I studied for 8-10hrs a day. I was super motivated to do well. Since then I've tapered off. Went down from 8 to 6, 6 to 4, and now I'm probably doing an LG section/day if I'm in the mood. I've lost the motivation to continue TBH.
@nicole
What does 7sage do regarding LR that Blueprint and Testmasters don't? I really don't want to have pump myself up just to fail again.
I've been stuck in the mid-150s for the last 6 months and I just don't know what to do. I've taken a Blueprint Prep Course, gone through the PowerScore LG and LR Bibles, and read through the LSAT Trainer. I don't want to try another LSAT prep course because I feel like they'll just do the same thing BluePrint did and give me some short-cut tricks that don't help at all.
I have significant problems with RC and LR; missing -9 to -12 on RC and -7 on both LR sections. I've gotten better on LG thanks to 7sage's full-proof method, and have gotten it down to -6. Unfortunately, LG is what's bringing up my score. I Blind Review every RC and LR section, but it's beginning to seem like I'm wasting my time because I'm not learning anything. I can eliminate 4 incorrect answer choices under untimed review, but I just can't seem to finish any sections during timed prep. This test is beginning to stress me out.
Thus far, I've taken the LSAT once (scored 155) after pushing back the test like 3 times. I postponed the February test after, again, scoring 155 on PT59. I hear stories and read posts about people going from my score range to high 160s or even mid-170s after a few weeks, but nothing is working for me. Makes me feel like I'm defective or something. What am I doing wrong?
@ioana200 I've tried it, but haven't gone full force with it. @cjones76927 I'm getting to all the passages.
I've read through Voyager and NoodleyOne's guides on TLS, tried The LSAT Trainer, PowerScore's materials. Nothing seems to work for me.
I've been working on this section for the last 6 months continuously and nothing seems to be working. Should I just skip a passage in Feburary? I'm going -12 on average every section.
Probably. There's something about being at a university surrounded by academics who engage in discussions about ideas and current events. Sitting at home would get boring.
Is there a good method or trick to eliminate all possible worlds for distributions? I just completed a game and couldn't figure out if I exhausted all possible distributions or not. I usually guess for the most part.
thanks.
I find myself getting answers incorrect because of key information in a stimulus's background info.I usually underline the conclusion and bracket the premises/support, but then i'll get an answer incorrect because the background info had something important. How do I fix this problem? The Trainer teaches us to not worry about Background and only focus on the relationship between premise and conclusion, but then something like this happens.
@nye887085 Your mindset going into every question involving arguments should follow this diagram:
1. Read the question stem
2. Read the stimulus
3. Underline the Conclusion
4. Bracket the Premises/Support
5. Eliminate Wrong Answers (about half of the answer choices will be out of scope or have a degree problem)
6. Find and confirm the correct answer (I put small tildes next to answer choices that might be correct)
Your main goal should be going into questions to look for WRONG ANSWERS. Every. Single. Time. The more you do this, the easier finding the incorrect choices becomes.
In terms of fundamentals, knowing how to negate answer choices are important in NA and knowing when you can/cannot conclude something in Principle questions will help immensely.
Did the same when I first started as well. Your overthinking might be due to the fact that you're focused on the wrong things. For arguments, you should be worrying about the premise and the conclusion about 95% of the time. If you're having problems in BR, you should focus on why answer choices are wrong, and not on why one answer is correct. Most of the time, it'll be a difference between scope or degree.
This is actually a somewhat common flaw on the lsat. The problem with it is that it deals with extremes without considering the majority that fall in the middle. Just like @coreyjanson479.janson35 said, it could be a U shape correlation.
I'm having problems finishing LG sections (particularly the older ones) within the 35 minute time period. I can normally do PT35-57 within 30 minutes, but that's because I've seen them recently (within1 to 2 months). I can't seem to do well on the older games though. I usually recognize the game's patterns and inferences, and set them up properly, but for some reason I find myself taking so long to complete the questions. Any thoughts?
From my understanding, words like "maybe", "should", "could" aren't conditional indicator words so they aren't diagrammed. Words like "are," "is," "must" and "only" can be diagrammed.

Thanks for the replies. I found the earlier schedules.
The Trainer wants me to use PT62-71 for drills and full exams. Can I use PT40-50 instead? I don't want to use newer tests until I'm somewhat ready.
@2543.hopkins MSG'd you
@rossholley902
I figured that as well. There must be something that I'm not doing on the actual test that I'm doing during BR. I'm not finishing the sections with any consistency. I usually leave 3-4 questions blank on LR when time runs out and I get done reading the last passage with 2 minutes left which leaves me little time to tackle the questions.
Hey @2543
Thank you for the response. I received -6 on LG in October, but I've been averaging -3/-4 in the sections I've taken previously. I'll get on the LSAT Trainer as soon as possible. As for Logic Games, I watch 7sage videos after completing a section to see what I missed. I'm aiming for 165+ in February as a last take, but I'm keeping June in the back burner in the event February doesn't work out.
Thanks.
I would love one.
Ah okay. And when the course says "1300+questions explained", assuming each PT has ~100 questions, where are the other 300 explanations coming from?
