The Official February 2016 Study Group Forum

[TexasENG]

Finished my first PT since the June LSAT (PT 39). Made some stupid mistakes and missed some questions that I should have gotten right, but haven't dropped much in the time off so that's good. I think I need to get more diligent at blind reviewing.

Tentative check-in; ugh.

February will be my first take. I'm slowly working through the trainer and already feeling more confident! Who else is taking for the first time in February? When did you begin your preparation?

Me... I've been studying on and off since July.

Starting back up after Halloween

Checking in here! Started this summer, but didn't have any motivation, so basically I just started to start practicing. Now I'm drilling LR, hopefully I get better on necessary assumption questions.
LG isn't going very well, either, as I'm too slow, and have no clue what to do with grouping games. Hopefully I'll get better after practicing.

Thanks for the advice! I actually just got their cheapest class, and I intend to watch them when I'm bored of doing drills and get a better understanding of games. Sort of a replacement of Netflix for entertainments...I know this sounds weird, but whatever it takes to get a 170+ score

Have been feeling motivated lately.

Hey everyone, decided to finally come back to TLS after doing horrible in the Oct. LSAT. Going to redo the whole study process, which I'm going to dread.

How do you guys plan on prepping for February's LSAT? I feel like if I do what I did over the summer to prep for October, I'm going to end up burning myself out again.

I'm planning to drill for LR and LG this month, and hopefully start next month full PTs.
I'm not exactly sure if this will work, but I think this looks reasonable at least for me..

What is the best plan to get a 180 for February LSAT?

I am currently thinking of drilling Cambridge packets and then taking PTs 39-76 over the next three months.

Is this enough to reach that always elusive 180?

RC is the bane of my existence and the reason that I have to take this stupid test again.

I hope the gods listen to your prayers.

Oh god I hear that. I'm typically -0 on LG, then -0 to -2 on each LR then its just a crapshoot on the RC with anything from -0 to -10. I just need to focus more or something.

Same :v Why is this?

Checking in; this will be my first official LSAT exam (applying for fall 2017).

I started studying in May. With that said, I don't go as hardcore as some of you guys....I typically study an hour a day (do a section of a test and then review it) on weekdays, and take a practice test on weekends. Starting in mid-December I'll be taking a practice test every other day, and then spending the following day addressing weaknesses.

[StopLawying]

Joining the thread.Applying for Fall 2017 also. Don't know why the Feb test gets so much hate, really feel like it's a good time to take the test since it gives you plenty of time for potential retake/applications.

That is pretty hardcore though.

You're right but, it's because you don't want people who are applying for the fall 2016 to think that they can wait until February to take it, because while it's still a viable test for admissions purposes to a lot of schools, you're shooting yourself in the foot by relying on it.

Nobody hates on taking the February test for an admissions cycle a year and a half in the future.

Well, that's good to know! Whenever I come on these forums, I feel like I'm not doing enough.

[PwantsaJD]

IN. Applying for 2017 cycle. Might postpone and/or retake if I don't feel ready by Jan... First time taker tho.

Could somebody tell me if you have to bubble all the answers before the end of each section is finished if I had to guess? Or can I bubble when the next section starts?! And if so, then for the last section can I bubble during the writing section lol.

Also for the analog watch. I bought this "180 watch". Do I have to wear it while I take the test? Or could I just like keep it next to me on the table? (I hate wearing watches).

1)You have to fill in all the answers before the end of each section.

2) You can place the 180 watch on the desk/table. No need to wear it.

Disagree with this. Most people will tell you to wait the 4 months so you can have extra time to study.

Might take the 7sage premier course. Would help me keep on track, review the theory, and I already use 7sage analytics so why not enroll in their course.
