I took my cold diagnostic a couple of weeks ago and got a 152 w/ -18 in lg, -7 and -6 in lr, and -7 in rc. I've been self studying for about 2 weeks and it is so frustrating!!! Balancing work and studying is so difficult. I'm just worried I won't be able to improve to a 169 by September.

With your diagnostic, you can totally do it though. The only problem I see is September. With your target score, you’ve waited too late to start studying. I did the same thing last fall. Everyone seems to underestimate this test on the front end, so don’t feel bad about that; you’re in good company.
What will happen is, you will find yourself in a position of having to choose between your target score or September. When you do, I hope you choose your target score. And the sooner you make that decision the better. Because what’s going to happen in the mean time is you’re going to take a load of PTs before you’re ready, then either back out or fall short on the September test. Then you’ll be right back where you started only having annihilated much of your available resources without having gained much benefit from them. So please don’t do that.
Also, I used Powerscore before signing up with 7Sage, and I can tell you the Games bible is terrible. I made more progress on games in 10 minutes on 7Sage than in 6 months with Powerscore. I never used The Trainer, but it's got to be better than the Powerscore; so don't bother with that one.
PS, I feel like @"Cant Get Right" legit revised my post lol. Well said!
