Rarely will you need to diagram on the actual test. The diagramming training strengthens your intuitions but is not intended to be an active test-taking tool.

With that strong gpa, you are doing yourself a disservice by applying with that score. What was your dianostic? How long have you been studying? What are your career goals?

First of all, "goal scores" are entirely subjective. That being said, I think we should all shoot for a 180. Anyone who has finished an undergraduate degree at a credible University can perfect this test - it's just a matter of time and dedication. …
I'd just like to echo what has been stated about the importance of the LSAT score. Don't underestimate this test or take a 170+ for granted. If you don't hit the expected LSAT scores for the school that you are interested in, don't expect to get in.…

@LCMama2017, & @Ohnoeshalpme, thank you for the advice. It's more like the logic behind the language that's challenging for me. I graduated from the University of Maryland, so I have a full understanding of the English langu…
I'd recommend getting the starter edition from 7sage. Go through the core curriculum methodically. Logic games shouldn't be as bad as the other sections so fool-proofing those via the 7sage method would be immeasurably beneficial.
That being said, …

Ha! I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way.

I've seen many students improve by focusing on things external to the LSAT. Meditation, diet, exercise, routine etc. will have the biggest impact on your consistency. Try to regulate all of these, while doing some light PTing, 1-2/week. This has wor…
The more you practice, the more you improve. Start off by doing untimed drilling. Print off 30-40 LR questions and finish them all at a comfortable speed. Move from one question to the next question only when you think you got the answer correct. On…
I think it's important to have a score in mind. Perhaps it is speculation, but you need to know when to stop. Don't accept a score less than the one you want. You're in a pretty good spot to make a jump to the 170's. I'd say go for it, but expect to…
I'm taking 6 classes right now, similar GPA to you. I did the same last semester. I studied for the LSAT last semester about 1-2 hours a day and was still able to get a 4.0 for that semester. It can be done. It's hard though. 5 hours a day? You're n…
@Sami Thank you so much. This is exactly the point-by-point attack that I needed.
@tanes256 I agree, I need to start the transition toward timed sections and timed drilling. I need to conquer my nerves and distractions.
I started with the same diagnostic score as you, and only a slightly higher BR. I was in your same shoes essentially. I've been studying for 4 months now and, though I have improved, I still have a LONG way to go to reach the 170's. I think that the…

My diagnostic is 151. I am PT around 159 and looking to score around 160.
First of all, you're rushing through this. My advice would be to push back for next cycle. Get a higher score than 160.
For example if the school you …
Follow the curriculum exactly, and then do what Sage Josh says in this awesome webinar:

I'd also look to Foolproof games Logic games 1-35. It's a straightforward way for any…
It depends on whether or not you want to apply this cycle. If you can wait until next cycle, upgrade to the Ultimate version and wait until the June test
The schools which make up the T14 are massive bureaucracies that focus almost all of their efforts on selecting students that fulfill their quotas. If you reach your PT score on the actual test, it won't make any difference how many times you wrote …
If you already paid for it, go through the 7sage curriculum again. Even with an in-person class, you still have to do most of the work at home, outside of class. Based on everything I have heard, the value of an in-person class is extremely hit or m…
Quitting now is the only way to guarantee you'll never reach your goal. I'll admit, I don't have the personal experience, but i've listened to many podcasts and attended sessions given by former 7sagers that started at 150 or lower, but climbed to t…
