I try and do 2 hours M-F, and about 3-4 hours on Sunday, however come summer time I am going to treat this like a full time job. My plan is to study from 9-5 with lunch at 12:00 haha

just finished up the Flaws chapter of the Trainer and plan on doing a PT tomorrow to establish a baseline score.

Uh no work in summer =/= full-time job with which to balance LSAT prep

I'm superstoked!!! I just found out our LSAT is September 24th!!

which means, after I get through the material, and start PTing, I get to go through every PT from 40's to 70's at least once!!! AHHHH...

So today, is light prep, just drilling a few games and tomorrow I am going hard core

I believe it will be open for reg. after the June 2016 test. I'm not 100% sure on that and have no source, but I've read it multiple times on these boards.

just took my "diagnostic" PT using June 2007 and completely bombed the RC. scored a 166.

LG -2
LR -3
RC -8

but it's just a diagnostic so I'm not gonna sweat it. I'll get it together after going though all the books

Haha I'm on my 3rd take as well and did the same PT for diagnostic a week ago, got a 157. Good work man, I apparently forgot everything since December. Hoping to get back up in this beesh soon.

Ahh, yeah I'm in the same boat.. My LR and LG are decent but can be better, while my RC is just completely disgusting lol. I got my Blueprint RC book a few days ago and so far it's really good.

Had a 167 in December which was 10 points higher than where I was PTing then. Must've got some good test day adrenaline. But yea, I got some time fortunately.

It also seems like K-JD really hurts if you're aiming for any of the T3 schools!

How true is that, especially if you come from a small, private, liberal arts college from suburban NY?

I don't think it would matter if you came from a small college in suburban NY. a lack of work experience won't prevent you from experience, but the top schools definitely prefer it. that being said, it is possible for your numbers alone to get you in.

Would you say that interning as a paralegal from the summer before taking the LSAT through the application process is sufficient work experience?

there are others on this forum that know far more than I do on this topic but for schools like Northwestern, that isn't enough. they're gonna want you to be at least 1 year out of undergrad.

Weakening Questions. L/R Cambridge Bundle Difficulty 1 - 70/76. The 6 I missed, same mistake. Narrowed the answers down to two, chose the answer connected to the Phenomena instead of the Hypothesis (thanks 7Sage for the lingo).


And as others have mentioned, this is taking a lot longer than previously thought.

[proteinshake]

wow I was searching Amazon for some RC drill packs and they are selling for $100+.

[ngogirl12]

So I did the last 20 from the set of Strengthen questions and I got 8-9 wrong. I was really bummed, this is the worst I have done. So today, I am just reviewing those questions and analyze all the strengthen questions I have in my LR notebook.

I haven't gotten to strengthening questions yet but usually on the difficult questions I note down reasons why/why not an answer choice is incorrect. It can be a few words (strengthens blahh blahh/weakens blahh blahh) or acronyms (OOS -Out Of Scope).

The most challenging part for me: Explaining why an answer is wrong.
