I would also agree that 7sage provides more than enough content to prep for the LSAT. The book is helpful if you just want another angle of insight. For me, having both helped me through some areas I was struggling with by being able to see different approaches and/or explanations.

I read the book before I started the course. If you have plenty of time on your hands, I don't think it would matter much in terms of whether you do one before the other. If you have a limited amount of time, I would lean towards recommending 7sage's curriculum and then completing as many timed PrepTests as you can fit in prior to your test, with proper blind review of course. In the end it really depends on quickly you grasp the material and what type of learning style suits you best.

Hi wislene charles,

I found both 7sage and the book to be very useful. Specifically, the LG curriculum is well supplemented by using one with the other. Mike Kim has a lot of really good insight that he shares for different question types and uses very similar diagramming for LG as 7sage does. I took what I consider to be the best of both worlds and use an amalgam of both techniques that are taught for LG.

It's not just beneficial with LG, however. Additionally, with LR and RC you get to see and hear insights and wisdom from two different LSAT pros. Seeing how JY tackles various question types and seeing how Kim does it really helped me to combine some strategy.

I learn best by reading. So naturally, the book is of great benefit to me and so, too, are all of the visual representations that JY adds to each of his lessons. As The LSAT Trainer uses PT52-55 for a lot of its instruction, I chose the LSAT Premium course, so I could have additional explanation when needed. I also liked the additional problem sets that the premium course offers.

I am testing, on average, 13 points higher than my diagnostic (151), with only about 2 months of study so far, with a 3 month break in between. I have considerable room for improvement still, but likely not enough time for the Feb. LSAT to get anywhere near my potential using these two study resources. I'd imagine anyone with 4+ months of time could really unlock their fullest potential using these resources.

I'm a cop and have no desires for big law nor do I care much about rankings. My school's 50% median is 157 so I'm just aiming for their top 25% (162), so I skimped some on the amount of time I've devoted to studying. In hindsight, I wish I had not, but it may very well work out okay for me thanks to both of these study resources that I have found.

Good luck and score high!

With as much as I have learned in a couple of months of reading The LSAT Trainer and then supplementing with this course, I definitely feel like you will be in a very good spot come October '14 if you complete this course and keep up the practice until then.

Note: I wish I would have started this course sooner and then supplemented with the book, not the other way around. :)

This course and that book compliment one another very well. They should seriously consider joining forces and raise the prices to cover including a copy of that book with all of the other material. Whenever I have been stuck with a grasping an idea with either, the other makes it clear.

Just some food for thought, considering you have quite a long time to go before your test date now.

I look at the calendar each day and wonder where the time has gone. I had a several month break from studying and then returned in late December to begin studying for the Feb. LSAT. Wish I would have not taken that break now!!

Personally, I found the December '13 RC and LG to be quite easier than the February test. I also feel like December's LR was harder than one of the ones on February's test and about the same or slightly harder than the other one.

I'm full of bias though, as the February test smacked me in the face a few times.

I think that sentiment applies to a lot of people after that train wreck yesterday. :)

What sucks is that having gone through the 7sage curriculum, I was more than confident that I could destroy that game, but unfortunately the other three games wreaked havoc on my time, leaving me under 5 minutes to tackle that oddball game. Grrr! lol

That sucks! It was my last section and I just knew we were being pranked once I got through it. Unfortunately, that was not the case.. lol

I still feel like I've been mule kicked by this test. My school wants me to apply before a date which is later on this month, which will be before the score posts, but I don't want to apply before I know the damage... yeah, this will be fun to sort out mentally this month.

I always think I bomb them when I've PT'd, this one I'm pretty sure I did. lol

I just finished it tonight. Thought the RC and LR sections had some rough spots. Did worse than I expected in LR and better than expected in RC. Scored a couple of points higher than my average, as of late, so it was a nice confidence boost. :)

I bought a $20 Casio analog watch with a rotating chronograph at Wal-Mart and it works just fine for me in regards to helping me keep track of my LSAT PT timing.

These LSAT specific watches are just overkill and overpriced, IMO. A watch is a small part of the timing battle, through repetition and full length, timed PT's you'll develop an awareness of time and habits which will help you to complete sections without timing issues.
