Hey Everyone,
A couple of weeks ago I posted how I was down and having trouble getting back to studying. I was out for almost 3 weeks. Well, I started back this week, baby steps, and it feels good. I was behind before my downtime and now I'm really behind. According to the study schedule and
@emli1000 :-) I should be finishing up the course by now. But I'm ashamed to admit I'm only about 15% through it. I'm glad I'm prepping for a retake in October instead of June I know I wouldn't be able to do it. Or at least wouldn't reach my full potential. Regardless, I was originally planning on starting PTs by now and thought about taking one this weekend. But looking at my course schedule, I think it may be more beneficial to spend that time reviewing material, getting through the course, and drilling. I don't want to cram but I do want to get through the basics. I think it may be better than wasting a PT. Any thoughts on moving forward? Thanks.

Think of it this way, a PT will test ALL of your LSAT skills, as well as some meta test taking skills along with them. If you just want to test some of your LSAT skills, you can just drill. You can even put a bunch of drills together into a fake PT or mini-PT. But why test skills you haven't worked on yet? You've (presumably) already taken a diagnostic test. You already have an idea of how good those skills are. PTs are gold. They will help you spot issues in your whole skill range as well as any broader issues you have with the test. Don't waste one. Follow your thoughts and spend time strengthening the skills you have and developing the rest of your skill set before testing the whole thing.
There isn't any reward for finishing the 7sage course early. There are huge rewards for crushing the LSAT. Study well and crush the LSAT.
I totally sympathize with you by the way. It was painful for me to not take a PT once a week to see how I was doing but resist the urge -- it'll pay dividends later on
I would think you should get through the whole course first and then prep test. Might as well make sure your fundamentals are solid before you start tweaking your skills through blind review.
