What other products have supplemented your study?

Hey guys, I am fairly new to the community here. I am planning to take the test in September. Because I have only recently been able to gain a more open schedule, I am somewhat intimidated by the remaining time I have until the exam date. I will begin working full time this upcoming July, therefore I seek to dedicate a certain number of hours a week to LSAT study. Do any of you have a recommendation of a certain amount of hours? Also, aside from using 7sage, has there been any apps or products you think would compliment the use of 7sage?

    And are you starting fresh with studying? Or have you already completed the CC?

    I wouldn't be looking at sup. material until you've gone through the CC. I've tried other books before 7sage - powerscore/ kaplan ( personally I did not like them) after going through the CC a few times I found a princeton review book that I actually like - the only thing I focused on was LR . LG games I would pick one company and run with it otherwise you are going to confuse yourself. But for RC/LR I did browse the internet as well to pick up strategies http://www.kaptest.com/study/lsat/whats-tested-on-the-lsat-logical-reasoning/

    This is a brief summary guide of the material (see above) they cover all 3 sections but not in depth

    I have not completed all of the CC yet, I’m still very much in the begining. Therefore, I’m very fresh with it!

    I'm taking the June test in a week, and have previously consulted the Kaplan books, Powerscore bibles, and Princeton Review's Cracking the LSAT. Recently, I also find the questions from Khan Academy's LSAT practice extremely helpful, because they make you focus on your weak areas after a diagnostic.

    I've studied at least four hours a day, going up to 8 hours on very intense days. This last week though, I'm taking it somewhat easy and only doing up to 2 hours a day.

    I don’t think supplements are necessary. If you want to invest your money on anything extra, just compile PDFs of drills from the 7sage cc and get them bound at a copy center. Saves time and energy in printing. I just got 300+ pages of LR drills printed and bound, cost me $26.

    I agree with @"surfy surf" that you're better off just spending the money on extra printed practice materials. I used 7Sage, the LSAT Trainer, and PowerScore. In the end, I definitely could have gotten away with 7Sage alone and still achieved my goal score.

    If you feel that having a companion text to read through helps while you watch JY's videos though, I found that Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer synced up with the 7Sage curriculum fine. Definitely not necessary though—just nice for a primer at the start or refresher after the end of the CC.

    I would not recommend PowerScore, though many like it and have successfully used it.

    Thank you, that makes a lot of sense!
