I'm in the same situation and I think it's a matter of a few different things:
1) Getting LG to -2 or less consistently. I'm currently in a situation where I'm basically finishing each section that I do, and not missing very many questions, but som…
The January exam isn't too late for this cycle, so if you decide to withdraw and take the January LSAT instead you may be just fine. But then again, if you're still doing the CC, as it seems to me, even January's test would arguably be rushing it fo…
I've seen people say that the games in between PT 29-38 are really good games to foolproof. Supposedly they're more representative of the modern LG sections. I wouldn't recommend that you hold off entirely on doing tests; make sure you're at least d…

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they lost traction and intensity that you had leading up to the September exam, spent all your energy on the week of the test, gave your best o…
OP I would just try to avoid thinking about this kind of thing regardless. All you can do is optimize your prep as best as you can. Worrying about what factors did or did not contribute to others' performance is probably only going to hurt you. Just…

I have been enjoying 7Sage right up until the LG section. I cannot learn these games this way. Can anyone recommend another resource that teaches the games in a different style? Not disloyal to 7Sage in any way, but thi…
@Smorph0u0 interesting approach and thanks for sharing. I think there's a lot of value in doing something like what you did. Let's say someone does Pacifico's method and only LG for 5-6 weeks... if that person doesn't have 5-6 months for prep then t…

I'm pretty much in the same position as you-- recently started PTing and testing in September. Since there's a good shot I'll retake in November, I'm going to leave the upper 70s untouched. I would print some of the …

@AshleighK I also need some more comparative practice! It just sucks that you have to randomly go through the PTs to find them. And I'm totally skipping PTs in the 40s and 50s-- just using 50s to drill.
Every PT fr…
I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's better to prepare so extensively that you barely have any material left with which to prep than to not even get through that much of what's out there. There's a very real mindset aspect to doing well on this …
It helps, but I don't think it matters to the point where it'd make up for substandard academics. Your numbers are what will determine how competitive you are for a particular school for the most part.

The bonds game was the only one I didn't finish in the real LG section, so I definitely improved in LG this time, which is nice. Hopefully that will translate to a better score. I think I figured out the diagram for bonds, but I just couldn't seem t…
IMO foolproofing isn't a surefire way to ensure an impressive LG performance (the standard for which, here, seems to be a -0/-1). Ultimately you have to solidify the right approach and the right sort of thinking that must be consistently applied to …

My guess is that a lot of folks for whom 7Sage was a big boon to their performance have moved on from these sorts of discussion boards and wouldn't be here to see this and share their stories.
I think it may eventually hurt diversity (even though the schools are claiming that this is about encouraging it), in the sense that with multiple tests being used for admissions, the LSAT may lose its status as the great equalizer and school presti…
I went through the Trainer and the LG Bible and I will say that I've liked 7Sage more than either of them. Whether that's the result of genuine superiority or just a learning-style preference I can't say with complete confidence. But I have liked 7S…
You're just 22, so I'm not sure why you're in such a big rush to start law school? Law schools will still be taking apps in a year or two if you need extra time to improve your LSAT score. Once you finish law school there's no going back and doing i…
First, I guess part of what confuses me about your approach is why you've went about it in such a "varied" way. Why did you want an in-person course in addition to the LSAT Trainer (and 7Sage)? Did you not think you'd be able to stick to it on your …
