LSAT October 2013 and how important it is to stick to a plan Forum

Nevertaken646 · Post by **Nevertaken646** » Thu May 02, 2013 9:30 pm

Hello all,

So, I'm not new to taking prep courses, I've taken both Powerscore 2009 and Kaplan 2013. And in both courses I have not been able to commit to studying. Does anyone have any suggestings as to committing to a study plan, with a busy work and family life. Hours vary at work. If anyone has a successful study outline for busy peron I would be very gracious!

Thanks in advance!

If you don't mind spending a little money, I would recommend looking at LSAT blog's study plans. Its broken down into daily increments and shows you what you need to do each day to reach your goal. This might help you if your someone who needs to "check something off" to feel like you accomplished your goals for the day.

not to be mean, but are you taking studying seriously?

I took Testmasters online and found it very helpful. It's pretty expensive, but if you want a course that gives you step-by-step instruction, it might be good for you. Don't skimp on LSAT prep, it plays a huge role in determining which schools you get into (and for how much money), making it arguably the single largest contributor to success in the legal field.

Studying for the LSAT now is probably going to be too late for October 2013

Nevertaken646 · Post by **Nevertaken646** » Fri May 03, 2013 12:23 pm

To be honest, I never really put my 100% into studying. I seem to start off with two hours one day, nothing the next day, 15 mins the next day and so on, also the enivornment is a distracting one. The sum total of my studies doesn't add to much progress. I have approximately 150 days for the Oct 2013 LSAT. I have to commit to a regular study schedule and stay motivated. I will look into private tutoring as well as taking another LSAT course with another company, (i'll look into Testmasters). Any Suggestings on staying motivated during this length of time? Thanks

I second the LSAT blog study plans mentioned above.

I was motivated by a deep-seated fear of failure--you should start with that

Definitely check out the blog's study schedules. I would also recommend looking into 7sage. Great video explanations and I have seen my scores improve since I began using this service. There's also discounts for the program, that can be found on the subreddit r/lsat.

My recommendation: Velocity. The course is about 10% theory and 90% drilling so there's almost no need to supplement with your own drilling and other resources.

I started studying in June for the October 2012 LSAT, so yes you have plenty of time. started with a lot of reading comp (i read courses didn't really cover this) and untimed practice tests, then moved into timed tests in july and took an august-september powerscore night class with all out logic games/logical reasoning. Probably took ~30 PTs in total. all this while working full time. was fine.

If you can't commit after shelling out the $$$ for a class, why are you thinking you are going to do it on your own?

I say 5 months is not enough for OP's situation because obviously he is lagging in his study.

And your experience is what exactly? You've taken an officially administered LSAT how many times and scored what on them? You've tutored how many students of various skill levels? Stop giving advice on shit you know nothing about. Stick to your bullshit about pencils and UCI.
