Advice

English is my third language. This makes the LSAT especially difficult for me. I need as much help as I can receive. I started studying in late Oct, 2017. I was registered to take the Feb 2018 LSAT, but I withdrew my registration. I withdrew because, I was not where I wanted to be. I was averaging 140-145. Obviously, taking the LSAT in Feb would be a waste of time and money. I also am working one full-time and one part-time job. I do most of my studying on the weekends. I usually get home around 8 p.m. on week days. I probably will have to quit one of my jobs, in order to increase my study time. I just started using 7Sage as my main study material. I have not purchased a course yet. Any idea on how to approach the LSAT considering my situation?

Thank you everybody for your help. I am taking all of the advice that you guys gave me, and I will implement them in my study schedule/habits. I have already started with reading the Economist and Scientific American. I can already see why those types of magazines are recommended. I will keep you guys posted on my progress.

@, & @, thank you for the advice. It's more like the logic behind the language that's challenging for me. I graduated from the University of Maryland, so I have a full understanding of the English language. It is more like the LSAT vocabs that make The test difficult for me. I Sometimes I would miss a whole question, just because I didn't understand the meaning of some words in the stimulus. I often find myself googling a lot of words after attempting and missing some questions. 90% of the time I would see why the correct answer choice is the right answer after understanding what the words mean. I was not doing any of the things that 7sage suggests. I was not BRing, fool-proofing, or anything like that. I will purchase the starter course and take it from there. Again, thank you guys so much for the advice.
