Anyone here studying while also have a 9-5 internship/job? I'm find trouble with this and would love to know your study plan

Yes, and I would also love to hear study plans.

I am working a demanding internship that is on average 9-7. I wake up everyday at 5 and go workout and have like 1-1.5 hrs of some studying in the AM and then study when I get home at night for 2-3 hours. On days I can leave the office at 5:30/6 its great and can get more in. The weekends is crucial as well. It takes a lot of grit and determination but its doable. Thankful for the experience but also happy its winding down here and i can be back to full-time studying LSAT.

and whatever day im just too dead to study, that is usually my off-day. (Ends up being friday typically). Two days a week i wont workout and will study in the morning several hrs to account for nights I have to stay super late and work, or I might have to go out for a few drinks/networking or even that date here and there to clear my mind, relax, and have a little fun ;P haha

Props. Doing what it takes.

Thanks! Its been tough. Just the last two weeks have ive been able to effectively follow through with this plan. It took some adjusting and getting used too.

My PredictIt stocks are up 50 bucks. Don't know whether to sell, or to hold out and hope for the big payday.

Welp, lost all my money. Goodnight, folks.

Haha, glad I learned one rule as a kid-- never gamble more than you're willing to lose.

Sorry, that sucks...just the way you quoted yourself.

Going to finish watching a LG video or two, do some javascript to wind down, and go to bed.

Oh man! That is so awesome. I felt like the episode went by so fast and nothing happened. I'm glad the whole season isn't out, because I would binge watch the entire thing in 3 days.

Suits: I've always hated that pee wee Herman looking f*ck

Haha! Yeah, I remember him from Mad Men and hated him in that. He just always plays someone who is easy to hate, lol. Just his face..

Assuming that I know who you are referring to...

Come see Vincent Kartheiser in his next big role of being an unlikable smarmy Benjamin Button-esque looking man child as he portrays Martin Shkreli.

Haha Vicent Karteiser was always annoying looking too imo. I wouldn't be surprised if he played a perfect Martin Shkreli, lmao.

The guy on Suits tonight that was in Mad Men was Patrick Fischer. He played that comedian Jimmy Barret on Mad Men. He is just like Pee Wee Herman...It is uncanny.

In/out w/ categories problem set 1 done
LG from PT 70 done
4/5 hard reading comp passages done/BR and checked

I'd say it's been a productive day. Gonna watch suits and let it all sink in.

1 more hard reading comp passage tomorrow. Then GroupIng games lesson within 7sage followed with parallel flaw problem sets 2-6 (20q)

[ngogirl12]

So, I finished the Sufficient Assumption lesson on 7Sage. YAY. I'll be drilling them tomorrow.

At the end of the lesson, there was a quiz on identifying the question type from the question stem, also flashcards on it. I found I SUCK at identifying MBT questions from the question stem, so I think I'm going to try and really get those down. (((

On the flip side I have all the others down: MSS-MP-Sufficient (I branded them all under Sufficient)-AP (even though we haven't gotten to that lesson yet )-S-W.

Why MBT Why!?????

All those of you watching Suits, I hate you. I'm still at the end of season 5, I'm waiting until post LSAT to catch up..

[ngogirl12]

whats up sept? thought id come by and see whats poppin ITT. glad to see there was some black mirror talk in here earlier. i didnt appreciate season 1 ep 1 until a few months later when it surfaced that david cameron actually copulated with a pig. great show.

also good luck to everyone gearing up for this test. i took it twice. i know the grind. hope you guys kill it.

also if youre applying for the class of 2020, check into this thread: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 7&t=266481

Thanks for this. Just bookmarked, will probably be more regular post LSAT

What's up party people!!!??

Sat for June, and since I can't figure out what to do with the rest of my summer, I figured I'd use keep studying and try for an even better score. Reviewing LSAT Trainer this weekend and am jumping into PT's next week. Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You're not the only one! I started watching suits when season 3 was on TV and I binge watched s1 and 2 in a very short period of time. Fell in love with it ever since.

[20170322]

Taking this break was a good idea. Though my biggest fear is that, once I start prepping again, my score dips.

[20170322]

So, how are y'all adjusting your prep as we move closer to the test date?

Also, for those of you with real people jobs, any advice on how to manage prep with work starting in August?

Staying the course. Fairly happy with my decision to enroll in Testmasters...I think there are some problems with the course, but I don't know if I could have consistently forced myself to put in so much time without feeling the obligation to finish it.

Going to read some Manhattan LSAT and off to do more LR and RC!

I may go out Friday night for a singular drink in Manhattan...

De-lurker here,

What's the general consensus on studying for retakers that have blown through most of their studying materials? In other words, is one better served to retake more recent preptests that they've taken early in their studying or to just take fresh preptests even though they may be outdated?

I've gone through tests 52-77 in one way or another but tests up to 38 I haven't touched other than their games sections. Sorry if this has been answered before!

When was your last take? I'm a retaker x2. My second take was in October 15 after June 15 and I started studying again in July. I burned through a decent amount of stuff but I found it wasn't really all that familiar to me and even if it was I barely remembered it. I'm studying for my third take right now and I don't think I remember a thing.

Even if you took in June I still think you could benefit from redoing stuff.

It was in June, and I started to study mid-February.

After the exam I took a few weeks off then decided to alter my approach to studying--doing blind review diligently, actively searching for the conclusion and support in LR questions, writing out why answer choices were wrong, and etc. The first PT I did after a few weeks of just drilling sections I scored a 176. Before the June exam I was averaging ~167 with 171 being my high, so I'm not entirely sure if that jump is from the new approach or from the exam not being fresh (it was 52, so from early in my studying). I remembered a couple of questions that I had trouble with before but I would get the reasoning correct for the answer choices so who knows.

Sounds like our schedules are nearly identical, Jager.

I'm finding myself to only be a step or two from burnout at nearly all times, though; how do you combat this?

Do you mean the latter? Or are we encouraging alcoholism? haha.

I have class in the morning on Saturday, and I don't live in the city currently. I'm kind of over that train noise, so I'd probably just drive in, park, meet people for an hour or two, and head back.
