Self-study
If I already know all the strategies and techniques? Now that I'm taking the October LSAT, I need to seriously work on my timing, but I can't figure out how to start. Does 7sage offer anything that could help with that?
Thanks.

I've used the PowerScore LR and LG bibles and the Manhattan RC book. My target is 165+. I'm scoring low to mid 150s. I double majored in Sociology and Economics. I've worked through a lot of questions pre-PT35 and have done PT35-45 fully simulated. I've been scoring in the same range ever since. I'm usually unable to complete any of the sections on time, but when I Blind Review I usually miss anywhere between 10 -13 which puts me in the high 160s/low 170s range. As you can see, I'm in a weird position. I get the fundamentals (at least I think I do) but do extremely poorly on actual tests and timed sections. Not sure what to do next.

How long have you been using this strategy? Sometimes I wonder how well I'd do if I just didn't check the timer at all. It's gotta be a text anxiety issue since my score drops so low when I time myself.
Starting to wonder if taking the June LSAT is still possible. My last timed LSAT was 149 with a BR of 169, which is lower than last week's PT. I just can't seem to transition to timed practice. It's really frustrating. I've done all the cambridge packet drills, tried to complete the first 10 in 10 minutes, I've even jumped around in search for the easiest questions but nothing seems to help. I've come to a point where I can't even sleep. I go the whole day taking short naps with little drive to study. It's like I'm dealing with an immovable, unclimbable brick wall.
Anyone in this position? What should I do? This is BY FAR the hardest thing I've come across in my entire life and it's ruining me.
I excel at Necessary questions, but fail miserably at Sufficient assumptions. Are there any techniques that'll help me with these? I mostly have a problem on the ones that don't require formal logic.

I'm sorta having the same problem. I can almost always BR in the high 160s/low 170s, but fall almost 20 points when doing it timed. It might be a stress thing, but how do I fix it?
Yeah. I want to subscribe, but I'm just trying to figure out whether the course will help me refine my processing ability so that I can answer these questions faster. There has to be something still deficient in my skills that's preventing me from scoring higher.
