Is upgrading just paying the difference in cost for the difference in resources provided? Or is it a better deal to pay for it all initially?

Love the different approaches/perspectives/reasoning. Elle, that's exactly why I read the stimulus first. If I read the stem first, I get tunnel vision when I read the stimulus after and I usually miss something. Don't think I'm going to switch it up, I just need to try to improve on what I've been doing.

Writing timed preptests with 5 sections was the only thing I did to prepare for the LSAT yesterday. I only had a month to prepare so I just tried to do as many as I could in that time frame (I did about 5 per week starting at the end of October). Timing was strict, I tried to complete sections in under 33 mins, but gave myself 35 if I needed it. I also didn't include the 15 minute break just because it didn't seem necessary to stretch out the test any longer. I was only hitting 169-171 in my last week, but I had seen consistent progress from when I had started with very few blips of regression. Thought I had plateaued at 165 the week before but then broke through in this last week. Still, I figured I was probably going to be somewhere around 165 to account for real test conditions. I still don't really know how things went so poorly, just didn't seem like I could get any small victories on the test when I needed one. I have to be better prepared next time around.

I like the idea of 7Sage because of the review it gets you to do, and how it would track the progress. Also, the skype sessions seem like they would be a really useful way of reviewing. I am definitely going to look into this Trainer, I'm on board for anything that could make my RC sections go more smoothly.

Right now I am leaning towards the ultimate+ because I would rather make sure I have everything I need than risk not having everything just to save some dough. Also, I feel like I may have developed some bad habits from pumping out so many preptests without doing a good thorough review of them after. Kinda feel like I should just start with all the fundamentals and build my way back up and actually get myself to learn. I just don't know how long the ultimate+ would take to complete. I'm afraid of starting it too early and finishing it well before the June LSAT or starting in too late and not getting to where I want to be in time for June. Would starting January 1st leave myself a good time frame to get through it?

I seemed to not be understanding anything I was reading, and ended up guessing on far too many questions. I even forgot to answer a question from the 1st game, which was probably one of the easiest games one could possibly get on the LSAT. Just an all 'round disappointing day.

My best is definitely the LG section and my worst is by far the RC. LR can be a bit of a wild card but I would say it is closer to LG than RC in terms of how difficult I find it.

Wrote the LSAT today and am certain I will have to re-write. I was thinking of trying again in June but want to complete a formal course in preparation this time. For those of you who are doing the Ultimate+, do you think it's doable to get it done (and truly benefit from it) in 6 months?

I wrote the LSAT today and definitely did not score anywhere close to where I had been scoring on my preptests...so it looks like I will be re-writing sometime in 2016 (probably June). I only self-studied for 1 month for my LSAT today so I was thinking of taking a 7Sage course in preparation of my next test. Any recommendations on which 7Sage course to sign up for and how much time I should give myself to properly prepare for the next time? I was scoring 169 - 171 during my self study but I will be amazed if I cracked 160 today on the real thing.

I've heard arguments for both. I'm naturally inclined to read the argument before the question stem but I wrote the 12/5 LSAT today and probably got one of my worst scores ever. Since I will probably be re-writing, I'm looking at switching up my strategy for a better performance on the next go 'round.

What's your approach?

Haha that video was spot on. Although I'm fairly certain I didn't get the score I need or want this time around, there's still a glimmer of hope left in me because I still haven't seen the official score. LSAC, for the sake of my sanity, please release them soooooooooooooooooooooon!
