3 months, 172 1st take – Thank you 7Sage!!!

wesleybrouse

I've officially finished all of my applications (which were also immensely boosted with the help of 7Sage) and I will likely be accepting an offer from Georgetown!! I could not have gotten to where I am as expediently as I did were it not for 7Sage, so before I cancel my subscription, I wanted to share some praise for this amazing study tool.

My cold diagnostic was 165 in June, I spent the better part of three months studying my ass off on here, and I somehow managed to pull off a 172 on the September LSAT. I can't speak to RC (because I didn't end up having time to study it), but the Foundations and LR curriculums are genuinely the best study tool I could have asked for. JY and the rest of the instructors are the best at what they do, their ability to break down such arcane concepts and make them easily digestable is truly incredible. On top of that, the custom drill sets based on your recent PTs were so informative and always pointed me towards what I needed to focus on.

If you're reading this and you're unsure of which prep service to use, go with 7Sage – you will not regret it.

For those of you who are on your LSAT prep journey, some advice:
-Plan to write twice, but do your best to only write once. You do not want to be in a position where you fell short of your goal score and have to rewrite near the end of the cycle. I wrote in September with the plan being to write again in November, and luckily that ultimately wasn't necessary for me. Having a contingency plan will relieve a lot of stress, but speaking from experience, you'll only want to write again if you absolutely have to.

-Make a study itinerary/schedule and stick to it! Depending on how much time you have, treat this like a part-time job! I made a timesheet to track my prep hours, and slowly increased the number of hours/week from 7 to 25. This helped me to stay on track and hold myself accountable.

-BEWARE OF BURNOUT!!!! I cannot stress this enough. Go outside, take a walk and get some fresh air. Take a weekend off. Don't forget to spend time with friends and family. The extra preptime is never worth the crash and burn. I burnt-out hard the week before my test date and taking a well-needed break saved me from having to rewrite.

-Try not to let a dip in your PT scores get you down. This has happened to pretty much everyone I've talked to, and it can be very demoralizing. In my experience, it's likely because you either did a more difficult PT or you're starting to burnout.

If anybody has any questions about my experience, please feel free to reply to this post or message me (I think I'll still be able to see that after I cancel)! Thanks again to 7Sage for everything you do.
