Maybe those other sources for answers to LSAT q's are good,
but I think that talking about questions here will jump-start the discussion here.

My schedule isn't great or anything. I am using blueprint's materials so there is already some structure in that. Basically I am drilling and doing a lot of untamed practice until mid-December and then I will be taking 2-3 practice tests until a week until the test. I just spaced all of the lessons and studying over 2-3 hours a day and put them on my calendar when I have time.

Cool, can you share with me please?

I've taken the Blueprint course...so I can look into some of that again.

I realized this weekend that I really don't want to have to study for this thing again. I liked studying for it the first time, but this time it just feels like failure.

Just bought Sotomayor's bio. Hoping that I can take my study breaks with that instead of Netflix. My study breaks never end once Netflix gets involved

Awesome! Is this the first time you're taking it or is this a re-take?

Literally same. I was so excited to be improving all the time. Now I'm just deflated.

How much are you looking at improving by?

I just want to get what I was PTing at last time... average of around 174/175.
That's why studying seems pointless. I can already get the score. Well, in theory.

What about you?

I'm the same as Ugg. I feel like I could be hitting 178s consistently and still end up barely 170-ing taking the test. I feel deflated and defeated.

Bill, because there is no way I could manage to study for the test again and still submit a strong app by early November. So, I'm sitting out the cycle. I know I'll have a much stronger application for it, but I'm feeling more and more depressed about it by the day.

Checking in. I was going to take the September LSAT but I had to take a move for my job and things got too crazy to actually take it. I will be using the LSAT Trainer with the trainer schedule for 12 weeks. Anyone looking for a schedule I highly recommend taking a look at Mike's schedules. I plan on using the Manhattan LG and LR books to supplement The Trainer. I also have the Cambridge packets for LG's by type and practice exams. I work full time so my goal is to put in about 2.5-3 hours a day Mon-Thurs then 5 hours on Saturday. Good luck to everyone!

Here is the link to the actual site:
http://www.thelsattrainer.com/

There is a lot of good information available on the site. Another good online resource is 7sage. They have video instructions for every logic game made (I believe) and it is for free. http://7sage.com/

I am pretty sure there is a trainer thread around as well if you have questions you can ask him directly. I also believe 7sage has a presence on here as well. They are both very helpful.
