Hi everyone, first time poster here. 7sage helped me a lot during my LSAT journey from 159 June 2024 to 170 September 2024. I just received admission letter from Columbia Law School (ED). Feel free to ask me anything.

For studying with 7sage, I would suggest the following.
go through the core curriculum once (quickly and you can always go back to review a specific topic)
take a few older PTs, use the analysis tool to see which types of questions you are getting wrong. Then create drills with your specific question types
make sure you do your PT timed as it will mimic the actual test
I really enjoyed the recorded live classes and I listened to multiple daily. Hearing how people think through questions helped me subconsciously. I always made myself pick an answer before hearing the instructor’s explanation
all the new PT I took at the exact time and day of my actual test
I know I should do the blind review method but I just couldn’t get myself to do it.
What works for me is the following : 1) take the test 2) without looking at the answers (I just cover it up with a piece of paper in front of screen), I write down the questions I got wrong (ex section 2 question 22) 3) on the following day (I usually take a PT on Saturday and review on Sunday), I create a drill of only the questions I got wrong. I re-do the questions untimed and then spent as much time as I need to understand why I got the question wrong (I will listen to JY’s explanation and sometime I will google it to see if someone else’s explanation makes more sense to me) 4) I would make myself do drills of the types of questions I got wrong the following week
I started studying 3/2024, took my first official test 6/2024, retook it 9/2024 and that was the score I used to apply this cycle.
I worked the schedule above the entire time.
I hit a plateau at 163. I read LSAT trainer and try to focus more on the big picture and I also did a lot live classes to hear how different people solve problems. Henry and Julia’s methods resonated with me the most.
My second plateau was around 167. I then read the loophole and did a lot of the practices based on her method.
To me, it was most helpful to read or drill when my mind was fresh and do endless amount of live classes when I was tired
Thank you.

I am working full time (10 hour days, 4 days per week; my commute to work is 1.5hrs each way). My study schedule is fairly simple. One PT each week on Saturday non-negotiable. Review of PT on Sunday. Set out plan for that week depending on how my PT went. Plan usually involves drills on specific question types I kept getting wrong and breaking down questions. If after a work day, my brain was cooked, I would then do 1-2 recorded live classes before falling asleep.
They didn't give me a breakdown of my official score but for PTs: RCs are usually -4 to -2 and LR are -1 to -3.
I used 7sage from start to end. However, during my score plateau I read LSAT trainer and the Loophole.
LSAC undergrad GPA 3.92. I also did a master's program GPA 4.101
