@HideousWonderfulMongrel: I tried blueprint initially but thought it was cringe and actually scored less than my diagnostic. I use 7 sage personally for games, I use the loophole book for LR, and RC hero for RC. So far it’s helped a ton. Diagnostic was June 2023 at 139 for reference.

hi all, anyone have any insight if applying without an LSAT score due to taking It in February vs waiting for the score(if I do well enough)and then applying would make a difference? SW said they would just leave the application on hold until the score comes in.
