Hello everyone!
I wanted to take a moment to formally introduce myself to the 7Sage LSAT community. I am located in Nevada and hope to someday go to the UNLV Boyd School of Law. I am very excited to be a part of this community and hope the learning experience will be fun.
I have been using the free LG explanations and have seen drastic improvement--from getting around 8 right to only missing 1 or 2. I did this in about 12 weeks time (now if only my LR and RC would follow suit XD ). I was initially enrolled in a Testmasters course for the June LSAT, but the class ended up getting cancelled because of low enrollment. Between the time I started my prep 12 weeks ago and the date my TM course was supposedly going to start, I became infatuated with the 7Sage processes and learning methods. I really feel like it is a great bunch of people in this community. The only thing holding me back from formally enrolling was finances. I had already dropped $1500 on the TM course and did not have any spare cash to pay for 7Sage on top of TM. Fortunately for me, TM ended up being a flop, and I was able to get my money back. I have decided to make 7Sage my go to for LSAT prep. I can't help but think that this was meant to be.
Since I have only been prepping about 12 weeks, I am still very new to all of this. Feel free to drop any advice for this LSAT noob! Thus far I have only been through the PS bibles and the first half of the The Trainer. My initial diagnostic was 142 and my highest has been a 148. No too bad for self prep I think, but I am definitely in need of more help. Goal score is 165. I have only taken 5 PT's and they have all been in the 140s. That said, I think I am ready to kick it into gear with the LSAT and work my ass off.
Anywho, that's my story in a nutshell. Thank you in advance for all of the insightful lessons to come.

@"A. Clermont" Thanks for the advice. Going to spend the next week getting through the CC and then move back to taking PT's. Definitely need a new approach. The PS bibles were helpful and knowledgeable, just not doing the trick for me.
As you go through the curriculum, please be careful to not gloss over concepts as a "been there done that moment" after reading PS and The Trainer - try to engage yourself as if every concept is new and alien. Every resource has plus and minus issues based on your learning style, but from my experience dedicating yourself to one curriculum is best to build a strong foundation.
Please do not join the crew of "wish I had spent more time in the curriculum" and have to press the "restart" button like I have had to in order to ensure I have a basic mastery of the fundamentals. Proof of concept is in the Sages and others before us that shared - once you have a strong foundation in the fundamentals, the true learning of how to master the test is through taking PT's to work on strategies and most importantly the Blind Review process to grasp the nuances and patterns of the test.
Look forward to seeing you and all the best!
@twssmith @"Nicole Hopkins" Thank you for the great advice! Going through the CC now. I am liking the grammar section. It helps put context on some of these convoluted questions.
I can't tell you how great it feels to have a community of people behind me rather than just books to reference. Hopefully, I can be on everyone else's level someday: slaying LR, crushing games, and laughing at RC. I am so excited!!
Glad to have you!
