I am a re-applicant planning 19-week study push (166 to 170+) for September LSAT - Looking for resource recommendations
Hey everyone,
I'm considering a reapplication cycle for law school and planning a serious 19-week prep push for the September 12th LSAT. Looking for input on resources and whether my plan makes sense.
Background:
- Current score: 166 (taken with time-and-a-half accommodations)
- GPA: 3.95 ( will likely rise with graduating and I am expected to get Summa Cum Laude)
- Last cycle: Applied to 20 schools, wait listed at Columbia, NYU, UCLA, and Cornell, all below their LSAT 25th percentile. I feel a strong application, LSAT is clearly the bottleneck.
- Previous prep: Kaplan 170+ course. Was helpful for getting me from 149 diagnostic to a 166 but I plateaued hard around the mid 160s with my second exam and felt the methodology stopped working at that level.
Weekly Practice Structure:
LSAT drills in peak cognitive hours (morning), flexible remote internship work in the afternoons, one full rest day per week. Targeting 15–18 hours of focused prep per week. Will used the first weeks to reestablished base line, middle weeks to focus on weak sections, and the last few weeks for simulating the testing environment, then the last week tapering to not mentally strain myself.
What I'm considering using:
- 7Sage and LawHub Advantage (I know Kaplan isn't the right tool for this phase)
- Final 3–4 PTs taken in LawHub interface to simulate test day with accommodations.
My questions for the sub:
- Is 7Sage plus LawHub the right stack for breaking out of the mid-160s specifically, or is there something better for this score band?
- Any specific 7Sage features I should be prioritizing: blind review, the curriculum, the analytics?
- For RC specifically, what targeted resources or drills have actually moved the needle for people in the 165–169 range?
- Any other resources (LSAT Demon, LSAT Trainer, etc.) you'd layer in for someone retaking at this level vs. starting fresh?
- Anyone else jump from the mid-160s to 170+ in a similar time frame? What made the difference?
Appreciate any input. Trying to be methodical about this rather than just grinding more of what already plateaued me.
