  I'm in a similar position for different reasons. I was practicing off of books and free-material but although I gained an understanding I did not feel any progress until I started 7sage. I haven't seen a raise in my score which is also what discourages me. I am just trying to break 150 but the time restrictions are killing me... I work full time so having to push for even 1-2 hr after work drains me. I hope to gain that boost through the syllabus and the loophole (every forum I see highly recommends it). I hope we both can break 150 in the October exam!

  don't be discouraged. you can do it!! you may want to focus on fundamentals (how to spot conclusion, premises, conditional reasoning, causal reasoning, identifying what actions you take for each q type). do drills and less entire sections/entire pts.

  First, don't be discouraged!! The LSAT is hard and when you're learning so much material it can be quite overwhelming. I would like to start by saying my diagnostic when I started this June was a 146. After completing the foundations (mainly ALL of the argument/grammar lessons), my score went up to a 150 and I am currently at a 154. My suggestion is to really focus on learning the fundamentals, practice the grammar parsing and argument lessons and drills because it REALLY helps. Yes, it's a grind to complete and you want to get right into drilling/PT taking the various sections, but you really need to understand the fundamentals first before you start taking Practice Tests, especially because they are so very limited. I hope this helps and please keep pushing through! You can do it.
