> My diagnostic was a 138 and after finishing the course I got a 153. I was learning new "things" every 2-3 days and the day after I finished the course without reviewing anything I jumped right in to take my first PT and scored the 153. My goal now is a 160. You can do this!!!
Do you remember what course you took, the monthly or the yearly?

in the 120s/130s you don't have a solid foundation yet. Join a course 7sage, lsat max, or blue print to help get you basics. But since you are on 7sage already utilize their lessons. no worries once you get the foundation which has a lot of nuances your score will greatly improve.
Which plan would you suggest?

Hey there. I second Steven_B-1's comment. The best thing you can do for yourself is be truly self reflective and have good data to assess where and how you are weak. Without that critical information, it's really hard to create a game plan for success. How do you know what to work on if you don't know where your weaknesses lie? For example, if the LR section is giving you trouble -- do you know which questions are giving you the most trouble? if so, do you know why those specific question types are hard for you? Is it a problem in understanding the question stem or (as Steven suggested) is it a weakness in your understanding of the foundations?
***Disclaimer: I'm not a tutor or anything, these are just the things that seem to be working for me and have also been recommended by a lot of others on 7sage and other forums.
Here are my two main recommendations:
(1) DAILY DRILLS of the fundamental skills: (here are a few examples, you can find them in the 7sage curriculum and there are also free versions on quizlet as well)
Conditional Indicators Drill Flashcards
Quiz - Logical Indicators Mixed Translations 1 w/ Answers
Quiz on Drawing Valid Conclusions with Translations 1 w/ Answers
Distinguish Valid from Invalid Forms Flashcards
21 Common Argument Flaws
LSAT Vocabulary Flashcards
How to Quickly React to Logic Games Question Stems Flashcards
(2) Keep a WRONG ANSWER JOURNAL: notebook or (preferably) a spreadsheet collecting the following info, journal in it during Blind Review for any questions you flagged or think you got wrong BEFORE you check your answers
Question Type: this will help identify if there are patterns in the type of question you're getting wrong
Why I picked my Choice: this will help identify the type of errors you're making
Why the Correct AC is Better & Mine is Wrong: ditto the above, plus show you the patterns in the correct ACs
Assessment & Action Items: with the above information, you can create a game plan for yourself to strengthen the areas where you are weak
The LSAT is not a test of intelligence. It is a test of reading and reasoning ability but most of all, mental discipline. It is learnable. With time and effort, you can do it. Feel free to private message me if you have any questions :blush:
Study smart, not hard!
Thank you for this post. I know it took some time for you to detail this out. I am grateful that you gave us this knowledge. I have pinpointed the questions I'm getting wrong but I never thought about a journal. I'm going to try the Spreadsheet and see if that works for me.
Under the Daily Drills portion of this message - "Is all of those included in the 7 Sage Curriculum"
I went to quizlet and you have to sign up , is that a fee for doing so ?

Hi! I am disappointed by some of the comments I read. I started at a 141 and received a 162 on November's test. I've been studying for June and I recently took a PT and got a 170. You are 100% capable of getting in the 160's and 170's. The issue is what you're doing. Clearly, something is not clicking. I would be more than happy to help you in any way that I can! We can get in touch if you'd like some help :)
This is so awesome that you have the encouragement. I am not saying that some of the harsh critique on here is bad; because i do think Lawyers need tough skin. Potential lawyers need to learn to endure so I would say find a way to learn the fundamentals. Which is what I'm trying to do . I do think 130s is a score stating more focus on ground level items is needed.

The question is: how are you studying? Are you doing in-depth review of the mistakes you're making? Are you journaling your mistakes to learn from them? If you're at the 120-130s, then you're still making basic reading errors, you might still be unfamiliar with what the question stems are really asking, and you're not focusing on building your foundation. Focus on building your foundation and be brutally honest with yourself, find your weaknesses, and attack them.
I like this response , and I have a similar story but I have only been studying for a month in a half. What I have gathered is I am not understanding what the question is asking but I can easily spot the Conclusion and [premise on LR. On LG I have to get back to fundamentals hence I am on this board trying to see if the 7Sage monthly plan would help with those foundations.

I am in the same boat and I really appreciate all the feedback on this thread. I am too working with LSAT Trainer and looking to buy the $69 package. would that help me move 20 points. I want to get into the 150s also and I'm looking to take the November test. I have already pushed it back from September. Would 7Sage curriculum help?

> Yes, I didn't do much studying, trying to finish undergrad with a booming GPA, I got a 132 and not proud. I am going to start 7 Sage tomorrow, let see how I do in December's test. Plus, I am currently in a MPA Masters hopefully transferring some of those credits with a JD/MPA degree.
How did it turn out?
