Took the June LSAT and didn't do as well as I'd hoped. Thought about taking the September but will not be sitting for it (obviously). Can someone let me know how bad my prospects might be, if at all, if I take the December LSAT (do well) and send in apps after the test?

Not bad at all. Send in your apps early and ask them to hold until you get your December score back.

Messed up and forgot to register for the September test in time.... I have a 167 from December 2015 though. Is it going to hurt me if I just apply with that when apps open and let them know I have a pending test?

Nope, you will be fine! Just let them know to hold your app until the Dec score comes in.

Back on the grizzy in a week from now. I'll be doing mostly timed sections of LG/RC, and drilling individual LR. The Preptests will start around Halloween.

Also undergrad is starting in a week, so I'll probably disappear again, only taking 13 credits to make more time for LSAT but still busy schedule together with full time job.

PM me so I get an email alert if you need anything from me

Good luck, I start in 2 days

I'm taking a leap of faith doing just 7 Sage curriculum. I'm going to use them for everything including RC. Was very happy with what I used them for.

I really hope I've got enough time to get through it all. If I don't reach my peak in December I'll retake next Fall and use Manhattan books. I figure I'm going to at least go in there and get a feel for it.

It's kind of a precarious situation I've got to balance out curriculum work with drilling.

What would be a good target date to have all of the curriculum done?

Nice! I am sort of in the same boat. I may use The LSAT Trainer/Manhattan Books if I finish in a decent amount of time. My provisional test date is June 2017, so I am sure I'll have some time to eventually try the books if need be. But I am hedging my bets with 7Sage. So far it has been wonderful. Almost ready to start RC and see how it works for me there.

A good target date....Hard to say, tbh. I think J.Y. recommended to spend at least 3-4 months going through the CC, and then 6 months doing PTs. But it doesn't sound like you are on that timeline, but I also don't recommend rushing just for the sake of getting to the PTs.

Thanks I will take your advice on not rushing for the sake of PTs. I have to remember that I've done a lot and I can internalize or brush up on some things quickly, while being more fastidious for weaker areas. But I agree you have to do internalize the material, you have to learn it well so you don't have to think about it much.

Tonight I'll do curriculum for LG up to Grouping/Sequencing (hopefully) tonight and will start drilling those along with the LR questions I complete on Thursday.

I'm going to try to study for 6 hours starting Thursday.

(Rotate Morning and Afternoon)
3 Hours LG (+ Review Incorrect Games watch as many videos as possible)
-1.5 Hours Drill All Types Completed
-1.5 Hours Material

3 Hours LR (+ Review Incorrect Drill Answers)
-1.5 Hours Drill All Types Completed (And later when have more material rotate question types to drill)
-1.5 Hours 7 Sage Curriculum

This way when I get done with Logic Games Curriculum I have 3 Hours of drilling to do for that section, or (after I reach -3ish) more time to put into Logical Reasoning Curriculum or drilling.

Once I get done with the LR curriculum I will do this (will probably last about two weeks)

Reading Comprehension (3 Hours)
-1.5 Hours Material (Same applies as above the material time can be used for Drills)
-1.5 Hours Drills

Logical Reasoning (1.5 Hours)
-1.5 Hours Drills (Types completed rotating by day)

Logic Games (1.5 Hours)
-1.5 Hours Drills

From there I will start taking practice tests fairly regularly. Maybe every other day but I've got to count them and figure out how many. I think I can retake some and it will have been long enough but I want to leave a few fresh tests as well.

The practice tests will tell me if I still have problem areas and if it's not too late I can work on those more.

I think I'm going to kind of get by on the skin of my teeth but that's my plan.

Sounds like you are dedicated, so I am guessing you will do just fine! Although, to stave off burn out, make sure you are taking a day off per week or at least going easy when you feel like you are just seeing diminishing returns while you are studying. But I am digging that study plan. 3 hours in the AM, 3 hours in the PM.

[scalawag]

Thanks man will be sure to take a day off.

Anyone else have dreams about the LSAT? Third time this week. Out of, like... Se7en.

I had a nightmare the day after taking the June LSAT that I got an extremely terrible score. the dreams stopped up until a few days before scores came out

Oof, that must be terrifying if it seemed real... And that's the thing with dreams;
sometimes, unless you're lucid dreaming, you think the stuff happening is really going on.
The other day, I had a dream about being at a party and meeting a girl (never even got her name, but that's so me).
When I woke up, I felt bummed because I realized I haven't really gone to a party in ages. Goes to show the LSAT really is life-draining. GDI.

the LSAT is like a drug that you NEED and even when you don't want it, you still need it. i'm down to to go LSAT's anonymous with you.

"hi, my name is mickey and i want to go to law school so i'm taking the LSAT"
"HI MICKEYYY"
"i just don't know how to feel anymore. i cant sleep, i cant eat. this test has consumed me. i am not myself anymore, i dont have fun anymore, all i want to do is hit that 170+. i dont know what to do with myself anymore"

[Deardevil]

Haha LA... I like that.

Woke up late today, but thanks to my recent dream, I have a better idea of what to write for my PS.

[Deardevil]

Solved a sufficient assumption Q in a few seconds; these really are freebies. :')

[Deardevil]

Another dream doing LSAT questions. Hope this is a good sign...

Yet another dream re: the RC section. And something sexual on the side.

A dream about getting a blowjob while going -0 on an RC section?
