I'm prepping for the October test....started 7Sage in January and so far have:
- Been through core curriculum twice
- Been through Trainer once
- Done half of logic games bundle (but I'm very slow on building my LG understanding. It's not going too well)
I'm away right now but return on June 21st. Between then and October I need to:
- Complete LG bundle and any associated "re-runs"
- Read Trainer one more time
- Start and exhaust Cambridge drilling packets for LR
- Complete & BR every prep test
- Dive back into core curriculum/trainer as needed
I'm slightly privileged in the fact that I run a business where I can wrap up most days by 1pm and devote the rest of the time to LSAT prep.
Do I appear to be on track, and should there be enough time to cover the remainder?
I'm in a slow-burning freak out mode over the amount of time I have left and all that is left to accomplish. I'd like to do the LSAT in October to get into my desired school's scholarship pool (closes Nov 25th). If I have to push to December I will...but I'd like to avoid delaying to 2017 entry, as I'm getting on in life and it's now or never!

Finish the LG Bundle before moving on to PTs. This will help you get LG locked in so you can focus on LR and RC.
@bstew2002, do you really think doing the whole bundle before PTs is the best strategy? I am hoping to start PTs in July to have 3 months for them (is that enough time given how much I can study each week?), do you think it's doable to crank out the whole LG bundle with BR and foolproof repeats during the rest of June?
Any input appreciated - thanks!
@allison.gill.sanford I wrote this about my strategy for the bundle: http://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy
I only ended up doing ~1/3 of the bundle before I started PTs so I could keep some of the bundle for fresh drilling later and I had gotten a pretty good handle on my LG strategy and I've averaged -1 on LG sections of PTs since then. I'd do some until you feel comfortable and then put the rest of the bundle away for later. Good luck to both of you!
I suppose that means that gutting through the LG bundle was the best strategy for me. If you think you want to cut it up and mix it with PTs or whatever, I don't think that is necessarily a "bad" idea. At least you would be studying in a manner that makes you feel comfortable, right?
Final plug: After the LG bundle, I don't think I missed an LG question during my first 5 or 6 PTs. It was nice, and it let me focus on other things.
Good luck. You really can't go wrong and I appreciate you reading all the comments.
@bstew2002 thanks for the input - I'm still getting a handle on how to be self-led in determining how to study (rather than blindly following a curriculum), so this is super helpful to hear your thoughts and why you took a certain approach. Thanks for the input everyone!
