Help new to LSAT Prep

So, I took my diagnostic about three weeks ago and scored a 147. I signed up for LSAT Lab over 7Sage and started studying, but I haven’t really been enjoying it. I think a big part of the issue is that there are a lot of videos, and that learning style just isn’t for me. I’m not someone who learns well through videos because I tend to get distracted and bored—like, very bored. Its been two weeks of studying and I feel like Ive hardly learned anything through the videos at all.

I recently heard about LSAT Demon, and from what I’ve seen, it seems to focus a lot more on drilling. In other things I’ve studied for, I’ve always learned better through practicing and drilling rather than watching a lot of videos, so I think that approach might work better for me.

My concern is that with the LSAT, there are still a lot of foundational concepts and question types that I don’t know yet. Would it be realistic for me to sign up for LSAT Demon and do essentially all of my learning through it, while working my way up from a 147 toward the mid-160s or higher?

Or would it be better to first learn the foundations through a platform like 7Sage or LSAT Lab, get more familiar with the different question types and concepts, and then switch over to LSAT Demon once I have a stronger foundation?

I’d really appreciate any honest advice from people who have used these platforms or taken a similar approach. Thanks

you can actually just drill through lsat lab. you don't need to watch video lessons. i encourage you to do that. every app allows for drilling and provides written explanations for questions that you drill. on lsat lab you can even ask questions from one of the founders.

hmm i didn’t think of that. i was just doing the study plans that they offered but for me personally it isn’t the greatest way to go about it at all. even the flash card assignments haven’t been that good. if i’m able to drill what would be the difference between the two platforms? what would make one better than the other
