Accepted into my desired Law School!
First off, I want to give a HUGE thanks to 7sage and the community members. JY's methods have helped me drastically. The community members have helped increase my understanding on questions that I found unclear, even after JY's videos explained everything. Before finding 7sage, the highest score I earned was a 149 (September 2014) (diagnostic was a 139). I had used Princeton (big NO NO), Kaplan (Also big NO NO), and powerscore. I then discovered 7sage and Lsathacks.com in early November and had seen huge improvements during the following months.
I was PTing around 165 a week before the February LSAT. I earned a disappointing (to me) 160 and applied to the University of South Carolina anyway (with low hopes of being accepted). About 3 days ago, I received a letter in the mail from the University of South Carolina, saying I was accepted. Today, I received a letter in the mail with a $10,000 scholarship (a little more than 1/8th of all three years' tuition).
I will be sitting again for the June LSAT, with hopes of earning at least a 165, so that I can negotiate a higher scholarship. It will be my third and final time taking the LSAT.
Just wanted to pass on words of encouragement. If I can do it, so can you! The climb from 139 to where I am sitting at now was NOT and easy one, but it CAN BE DONE!

@"cashundra.scott-1" The RC section is my biggest weakness. Currently average -7 to -10; my ADD is possibly my biggest enemy. I was averaging -12 to -15 on RC about a month ago.
Now that I think about it, dehydration may have fatigued me in Feb. I didn't drink too much water before the test (maybe only 1 regular water bottles) and maybe drank half the bottle during break. So from the time I woke up until around 1:30-2pm, I only drank at most 1.5 bottles of water which isn't a lot for someone of my size.
Don't forget about exercise as well. Two simple things that significantly improve oxygen flow to the brain. Of course, oxygen flow is not the only reason why hydration and exercise improve cognitive function, but we're just talking actionable strategies.
