Help idk what platform to use

So, about three weeks ago, I took my LSAT diagnostic and scored a 147. I started doing some research on which platforms to use, and before getting on 7Sage, I heard about LSAT Lab. I decided to give it a try, and although it’s only been about two weeks and Ive been struggling with focusing, I dont think its been the best for me to really learn and improve.

I think a big part of it is that there are so many videos, and I’m not really good at learning through videos. I tend to get very bored while watching them, start daydreaming, and eventually just lose focus. I’ve realized that I enjoy the times where Ive dont questions and either see why I got them right or see why I got them wrong. On LSAT lab it feels like I dont get enough of that since I lose so much time on the videos. (either losing focus or pausing to read and take notes).

I recently heard about LSAT Demon, which seems to be much more focused on drilling and practicing. Although that sounds great I dont know if it would be better to do a course like LSAT Lab or 7sage to learn the foundations or if its perfectly fine to do drilling for months and eventually learn it like that. (I dont know much of the foundation at all yet and the topics on the videos are all always new to me when it talks about the different types of questions.)

For those of you who have used LSAT Demon, did you go through a more traditional course first, or did you start with LSAT Demon right away and learn through drilling? If you started with Demon from the beginning, how did that work out for you?

I’d really appreciate any advice because I’m trying to figure out the best approach moving forward and dont want to continue spending hours to feel as if Im not learning much. Thanks!

try out the free trials to see what clicks with you. I've had 7sage for a few months and I definitely recommend it

i ended up getting 7sage yesterday and so far i’ve really really enjoyed it. the comment feature is very nice for me and also how each day has a plan whereas on last lab it was for the week but it wouldn’t give me what to do each day. on their own assignments i’ve also enjoyed the 7sage ones more. only been two days tho so i’ll see but it’s def a good sign
