If you don't have time, definitely focus on the bigger picture. If you are practicing and want to improve, I suggest practice reading the passage (un-timed at first) as if you need to explain it to an intelligent 12 year-old (it's sort of like how t…
This would depend on the person (I'm someone who jumped from 157 to about 176+ right now) - 7 sage was extremely helpful during this process, BUT it was not as if I got there once I finished the course (that depends on you and how you study). For me…
I would only add: since you already have the trainer and 7 sage, don't spend any money on anything else EXCEPT for official LSAT tests OR for an extremely good tutor.
I just messaged you with a bit more detail, but I highly recommend Jonathan from 7sage. He might be busier now that the September date is creeping closer - but if you are looking for a tutor, you should bite, scratch, and claw for him. A good two ho…
Not sure how frequently you are studying - but consider taking a "productive break." Sometimes, you just have to let things digest appropriately. Consider taking a week off where you read (increase your reading speed, always helpful), work on law sc…
Take your time. These things take a bit of time to digest - even after a bunch of drills, learning the "theory," and practice tests (sort of like learning to drive a car - it takes time before you "get" how to be behind the wheel).
Consider taking…
@ The 180 Bro
My tutoring was, and still is via skype. This was another reason I was a bit hesitant about reaching out for a tutor - I assumed that if it was not going to be in person that it was not going to be as good. But I had that exact same m…
I reached out to Jonathan shortly after reading this post 2 weeks before the June LSAT. At that time, I was averaging a 167, was hoping to hit the upper 170's, and unsure of whether or not I should postpone my test date until September. I had alread…
Hey - I was/am in a similar position. I started preparing this February, initially for the June test. Two weeks before the June test, I was averaging between 167 - 173. Like you, I would be 0-2 in LG, with more in LR/RC.
I postponed my test to Sept…
I've considered what you have considered before - don't waste your money with Testmasters (or any other course for that matter). If you are willing to shell that kind of time and money as it is (abroad, living, eating, etc) I would advise you to con…
Definitely take your time - there is no "overnight success" possibility with the LSAT. The first time I took the test (3 years ago?) I prepared for 3 months - and it was not enough - but I acted out of fear because "I had to do it otherwise I would …
Figure out a "warm up routine" to get you to the state of accuracy that you are in which enables you to hit the 170 during BR - it might mean some drills, it might mean reviewing old tests.
I'm just starting to recover from my burnout - take a "productive break" before you go back to bad habits. Read something, workout, play, sleep; reconnect with people who will motivate you and keep you positive - BUT keep your mind engaged. I sugge…
