Thank you 7sage and fellow LSAT preppers

I have used 7sage off and on for the last 4 years. I wanted to come back here after Sept test and post this but didn't get time until now.

I scored 171 in Sept and went -0 in both LR sections. This happened after multiple takes and persistent effort. My diagnostic was around 130. I missed out on a high 170s score mainly due to virus game.

Just wanted to say that I benefited much from being on 7sage and discussions with other preppers on its forum. It was a great experience and 7sage was an indispensable resource.
It may seem impossible sometimes, and it may take long to get to your desired score range but know that it can be done. So those of you who find it hard to improve, it's important to remember that it will come as long as you keep trying.

    Wow! I never took a diagnostic for this reason. I believed if I did, it would turn into some self fulfilling prophecy that I was just wasn't good enough. It's extremely humbling to see you kept fighting!

    Thank you for coming back sharing your story! Any knowledge about your journey would be appreciated!

    Hahah I'll never forget looking at my first LSAT book, getting to the first practice problem and being like "Holy s****, maybe I'm not meant for law school"

    Awww, I can 100% relate to this. Diagnostics aren't anything, man. I think the only "diagnostic" that should matter is the one you take after going through the curriculum.
