I’d recommend doing them in the order the core curriculum has set up. The 7Sage admins always recommend going through the core curriculum in order and I think many of the questions you learn about later build on earlier question types.
I think @claremont gave great advice. Taking the real test in June may help you some with test-day jitters if you have to retake in the future. And I’ve heard from a ton of people who got into T14 schools, often with large scholarships, that took th…
In essence, “fool proofing” is doing a logic game repeatedly until you can complete that game under the target time and without missing any questions. The reasoning behind this method is that logic games, by nature, tend to fit into a few categories…
A couple of questions:
Have you been fool proofing games? Or have you more typically been doing each game that you try once or twice?
If you have been fool proofing, have you tried fool proofing the games by their type rather than randomly?
To echo @"Preston Bigley", you can bounce your score up very quickly by really drilling LG. If you're missing quite a few in LG, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to expect you to get near 160 within a month or two. And, for what it's worth, ma…

I would actually advise you on the contrary, just to add some nuance and provide my own experience. I have found that practice tests do a lot more to increase your understanding of the material than the core curriculum. H…
@ashley.hart29641 I did find it useful, though RC seems to be the section where most people figure out their own, relatively unique approach. With this being said, I think the big-picture lessons that 7Sage teaches you about RC, like reading for str…
@"Lime Green Dot" I am by no means "in the know," at least no more than anyone else, but I'd imagine no major changes will be happening this cycle. As you pointed out, the tentative earliest date is after the cycle opens for many schools. I don't se…
I’d recommend doing some of the problem sets, saving the others, then going on to the next section. It’s inevitable that you’ll forget some stuff from the CC or need to return to certain sections, and when you do, it’s helpful to have some unused pr…
If you can remember any key elements or words from the game, I'd recommend typing them into Google along with something like "LSAT logic game" at the end. I haven't been exposed to many logic games yet, so I unfortunately can't give you a particular…
I'd advise being comfortable with each section before taking prep tests. In my opinion, there's not much value in taking PTs before you've been exposed to all of the elements of each section because if you do you're going in blind and you won't be a…
I’ve heard numerous accounts from foreign applicants saying their undergrad GPA wasn’t easily converted to an LSAC GPA or that LSAC couldn’t give them a numerical GPA, possibly hurting their chances. Aside from that, I haven’t heard of foreign appli…
Unfortunately, you cannot read out loud during the virtual test. You’re technically not supposed to mouth the words while you read, either, but I’ve heard of proctors being lenient about it. I’ve heard that with certain accommodations you’re allowed…
@madebysu98 That's my bad. I didn't realize the test dates were different for international takers. If you're planning on taking the October exam if you don't get the score you want in June, I think your plan is totally reasonable.
@madebysu98 I don’t think your plan to improve sounds that unreasonable but, to me, your timeframe sounds pretty unreasonable. Is there a reason you want to take the June test? Though it’s obviously not impossible for you to improve to a 165 on the …
I use excel to keep track of my LG fool proofing progress. I don’t know if you’d consider that a wrong answer journal, per se, but I can send it to you if you’d like.
If you go to the “LSAT Questions” section of 7Sage and click “Problem Sets,” you can filter questions by type, difficulty, practice test number, etc. This allows you to drill whatever question type you’d like, try out new strategies, work your way f…
From the research I’ve done, nobody is sure exactly when the logic games section will be removed. I’d imagine there’ll be a relatively advanced warning before it happens, though!
Unfortunately, you’re not allowed to read anything out loud during the real test. Additionally, it’s important to know you’re not allowed to mouth words while reading during the test, either. I totally understand your struggle (When I started studyi…
