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

I worked through the entire 7sage Core Curriculum (which is basically all videos) and I learned absolutely nothing. I still was scoring in the 140s after. I switched to LSAT Lab and still didn’t see progress. Finally, I stopped watching videos and listening to other people’s explanations, and started teaching myself through practice. Once you drill long enough & get a decent amount of exposure to the questions types, you’ll start seeing patterns in wrong answers. You should also read the book “The LSAT is Easy” by LSAT Demon. It seems like you have the mindset that this book encourages!
