Hey all,

So, I'm taking on 7sage's trial course before making the full plunge with you guys, but something stuck out to me... J.Y. recommends that we study for at least a year before being fully ready for an LSAT attempt.

Nowadays, that "3 attempts every 2 years" policy is gone, so now we can take and re-take without issue. But, he has a good point.

My question is: Do we need to spend a whole other year relearning everything from scratch if we're coming from a competing service like Powerscore? Or is it more realistic to cut it down a bit since I have some of the core basics and experiences down?

This is encouraging for me to see... I hope I can break my own plateau of 147 soon.

wait what? I thought the max we could write this exam was 3 times...

are those your PT scores?

In terms of study prep, I tried the first month with powerscore books and hated it. I'm not one to just sit in a corner and read a book. I find it more interactive to watch videos or be in class. So I prefer 7sage. I also found powerscore confusing and really boring.

I think the LSAT trainer tho compliments 7sage really well.

Those are unfortunately my real live LSAT results.

Schools that don't like people taking the test more than twice will definitely not like me at this point.

However, the schools I'm looking at have insisted they will only take the highest test score, so I should be fine. They don't average my scores, unlike a few T14 schools...

Okay, so, my particular situation is that I've been attempting to do prep with PowerScore for a long time (3 years as of this month). I've taken the test 3 times already and am about to do a 4th.

"Why on earth would you take a test so many times when you've already taken a good prep course?!"

Great question, Jimmy! The reason why is that my consistency and willingness to practice and drill sections of the LSAT has been lackluster and nearly non-existent since I started in 2014. Why I didn't practice? Because I thought the LSAT was a breeze, through all 3 attempts. My last attempt in October 2015 was my painful wake-up call that I couldn't just simply read the material without any practice and expect to get a 160+ on this test.

My score has been 142, 147, and 146. Quite terrible.

I saw results when I started looking through 7Sage's LG explanations. Started to really understand them. Now, I'd like to do prep with both PowerScore and 7Sage with 7Sage being the supplement in case PowerScore's jargon-y explanations didn't crack it.

What do you guys think?
