Hi 7Sagers!

I am looking for advice regarding the best way to boost my score for a retake.

I was planning to apply for the 2021 cycle but have decided to wait, partially so I can apply ASAP for the next cycle to increase chances at admission/scholarships and partially because my LSAT score isn't quite where I want it to be/believe it can be.

Some background:

I self-studied last summer for around 2.5 months using Khan Academy and PTs, was scoring around 160-161, but I scored a 158 on the August LSAT.

I switched to 7Sage in October and have since been using that to do PTs, timed sections, and watch videos of areas that I need to strengthen. I have not done the core curriculum in its entirety - wasn't sure if it would be helpful since I had a foundation from studying the first time around and wasn't necessarily brand new to the test.

In December, I was still PTing around 160-161 (with the occasional higher score), which was frustrating because I felt like the additional studying hadn't done anything.

Since making the decision to wait a cycle, I have pushed my Jan test to April (would be open to pushing it to May if that's an option & is flex) with a goal of 165+ and am now wondering what is the best way for me to prepare during these next few months - focus on whole PTs? Do the core curriculum? Do a combination of the two at the same time? I'm worried that if I focus too much time on the curriculum, I am just delaying practicing my skills & will have less time ultimately to do PTs; on the other hand, it seems that the curriculum might be important in strengthening my foundation.

I want to feel as confident as possible going into the next LSAT and would love any suggestions you all have for how to best approach studying this time around!

P.S. I do work full-time in case that changes anything.

Thank you!
