So yesterday I received my LSAT score and received a 158. It was a hard to accept but I realized I have to accept it and I have the chance to do better in September, especially because my diagnostic was in the 142, a 16 point increase. I honestly do not know where to start.
I have done preptests 50- 74 and had an average of 156. My ultimate goal is to get a 163 or higher which I believe could be done since I got 8 questions wrong on logic games on my actual LSAT. I also got 13 questions wrong for logical reasoning and 10 wrong on reading comprehension. I just want to know how should I go about taking preptests and studying? Should I go back to curriculum.
Is my goal unrealistic for remaining time period? Btw when I was studying for my June LSAT I had a part time job and was a full time student but for the time remaining I already quit my job so I may give my full effort to studying. Also should I supplement my 7sage curriculum with anything? I already used the LSAT Trainer and want to honestly do the best possible when it comes to the September LSAT. Its been a long journey and I do not want to give up without reaching my goal. Please help and provide any advice or personal experience! Thank you!!!

In terms of LR and RC, I think your decision to revisit the curriculum should be based on whether or not you have a good understanding of the fundamentals. Are there specific question types that you are not understanding? When you BR, are you able to understand why the right answer choice is right and why the others are wrong? For example, if you are always making mistakes on weakening questions and don't understand why the right answer choice is right, then you should probably revisit the lessons on that specific question type.
I don't think that the increase you are looking to make is unrealistic given your plan to study full time. That being said, if you don't see the increase in a month or so, I would consider postponing your rewrite.
