Hi everyone!
I'm new here. I've been studying for the LSAT since August 2015 with the intension of taking October. I enrolled in a TestMasters course in August but I just couldn't get my score above 145 before October's exam. I decided to postpone and registered for December using The LSAT Trainer and Prep Tests 62-71.
Unfortunately, I only improved a few points (my highest score 152 and my average usually 148-149.) With a week away from the test, I am close to accepting that I have to swallow my pride and withdraw from December. Sitting out the cycle sucks but I know in the long haul a stronger score can get me into a top school with scholarship.
If I take this route, I will register for June and most likely enroll in 7sage's Ultimate package giving myself 5-6 months of prep. I am aiming for the early 160s and quite possibly the mid-160s.
Just to give a brief synopsis of my habits for the past four months. For the most part, I conceptually understand a good amount of the material. I understand conditional logic, quantifiers, etc. For LG, making deductions, overlapping rules, etc. However, I do think I have great test anxiety and preform poorly on my PTs by re-reading questions, losing focus and not being able to apply my skills under timed conditions. My strongest section is LG (-6 to -8) followed by LR (-10 to -12) and worst RC (-15 to -17).
If you can help me with some advice, that would be great!
1) Is it best if I withdraw next week and keep my record clean with no re-takes?
2) Is it possible to jump from 148-152 to 160-165 with 7sage in 5-6 months?
Please let me know what you think. Thank you!
Ethan

Does anyone have advice on when to start prepping again? I was planning for early February, which gives me roughly two months for a break. I am thinking of dedicating those two months to reading dense academic material (something I lacked for RC).
@tanes256 I used 7sage's LG videos, also did BR for LR. I don't think I was as dedicated to BR as I should have been. Rarely did the full proof method for LG or memory method for RC. Granted I was not enrolled in 7sage's course so this time around I am sure to learn the methods and stick to them.
It might take longer than 6 months but you won't know unless/until you try!
Just move forward with 7sage and don't worry about what you have or haven't done this far.
