Feeling the heat.
Hello 7sage warriors.
I've posted in a different discussion with regard to my recent troubles on putting the 7sage curriculum into practise however, I would like to hear some thoughts on whether or not some type of different strategy would help.
Basically, I am shooting for the Oct. LSAT date (and a 138 ->160*ish improvement) so I can hopefully enrol into 1L for next 2016. I have the rest of the summer left with no large distractions (taking 1 summer class twice a week); have put in already 1 month worth of the curriculum (33% of ult. complete) at roughly 5-8 hours a day. Long story short, I have ups and downs, correct answers and misses throughout the lessons, yet when it comes to the PS I find myself struggling to complete these and really gain any confidence in my skills and abilities.
As far as scheduling, as stated I go MON-SUN and study for as long as possible (or until I get to the point of negativity and frustration emerge) and I take a break, or take a day off, workout, etc. I have been writing detailed notes on many of the problem types, and have done most of the PS scheduled in the curriculum (the changeover kind of messed me up, but I've done most of them). I am also just starting the Logic games portion of the LSAT Trainer, and have been doing at least 1 lesson a day of that for the past 2 weeks.
Some of you have messaged me with support and advice, and I'd like to thank those who have taken the time. With that being said, I am starting to acknowledge that perhaps this will take me a little bit more time than others to fully grasp some of these strategies and problem types; should I continue on in the curriculum with these troubles in mind, finish the curriculum, and then go back for a round 2 so to speak? Should I schedule my day's in smaller blocks of studying? Have other's felt this sort of 'quick-sand' feeling, where, after a month - no concrete or tangible improvements have been acknowledged?
As I said, I've got work-ethic on my side and I'm not going to quit... but damn would I love to see some improvements or signs of skill building. Thanks,
Matthew
