I hate the LSAT.

Ditto

I try to love it, but I think it hates me so I hate it back

[BlackCanary]

I have been absolutely terrible about studying today. Need to get back to it.

Lol #foreverhateful.

Weren't you also part of the June thread? Did you take or decide to postpone?

Had to go on an obligatory family vacation last week for 5 days. No LSAT work was done during. Got back on Saturday and have been hitting review hard in the Trainer on the LR/LG chapters before I move to drilling LR/question types (basically chapter 16 and onward in the Trainer).

Felt sharp on the Trainer's flaw drills today and the diagramming/inferences are starting to come along in LG as well. I actually kind of enjoy doing the setup/making inferences for LG. Anyway time to get ready for work. Blah.

Me too, I think that I spend more time planning how I'm going to study than actually studying. ;.;

[proteinshake]

actually woke up early (8:45) today so hopefully I can start going to sleep earlier.

Same. Definitely been trying to wake up earlier to get an earlier start and attempt to sleep before 4am haha.

I haven't studied since Sunday. I thought I'd get a bit of a break, I'm driving to Arizona tonight to take in some baseball games (and to sweat my ass off) but I kind of miss studying? I feel this huge void in my life and I'm undecided if it's a good or bad thing. I'm thinking about drilling some questions in the car ride but on the other hand I think my brain could use a breath to reset...

How many hours a day and during what times is everyone studying the the LSAT? Just curious to see what everyone's routines are as far as this goes?

I teach as well and since Monday, I'll be studying, or at least setting aside the time to study like if it was a job. Studying 9-5 M-F, 1 hour lunch break, with 15-30 minute breaks in the morning and afternoon.

After two weeks, I also plan to use either Saturday or Sunday to either review/drill for a couple hours, or take a PT. I'm also doing the Insanity program in the evenings

This week I start my internship which is minimally 9-5 M-F. I am going to wake up extra early so I can workout and do a little prep before work and then in the evenings I will try to do at least 3 hours a day, but hopefully more like 5 and then grind my ass off during the weekend. I am just going to try to get in as much as I can when the time is available. I know some days I will have more energy than others, so we will see.

Anybody working full-time like I will and have any recommendations/advice?

I like that routine! 9-5, give yourself breaks...Seems reasonable and efficient. I may try something like this!

I'll be full-time as well, starting next week. anticipating a lot of waking up super early, going to bed super early (joy oh joy), and then a lot of lsat work in the evenings. Mornings are obviously a much more ideal time to study than evenings after a long day, but unless we plan on waking up at 4am every day, there's not much to be done there.

I was considering it (if I have too, I will), but thats just fucking BRUTAL.

Just finished a pack of 5 logic games. 31 minutes, -1.


Let's do this shit.

I'll be reading the LSAT trainer on the way to Vegas on Wednesday!

I loaded up my ipad with a mix of beach reads (I miss them!) and lsat garbage. The drive will tell which I pick! I love Vegas, I should go to celebrate this whole law school stuff when I get in somewhere.

[studyingeveryday]

I definitely have asked about books and resources a LOT here, but just to clarify before I buy:

The Manhattan books are good for raising my score from low 160s, right? and powerscore is better for foundational stuff? I'm retaking, so I'm looking for material that will help me raise my score to high 160s, or low 170s if I do well. I just want to make sure I choose the right material before I buy it--thank you!!

And whatever I get, I'm pairing along with the LSAT Trainer 16 week plan.

100% Manhattan, though I really think, as a retaker, you shouldn't spend 16 weeks with the Trainer.

Think there's some improvements in my LG! Drilled PT4 LG tonight, went -4 at 35min, the -4 coming from four unanswered questions leftover in the last game. Came to the last game at 27 minutes. It was a mapping game involving ski chalets that kinda threw me for a bit. Went 3/4 afterwards on the ones leftover untimed. Watched the 7sage video on the missed problem, I was forgetting a little option in the mapping where I could connect chalet J to chalet O. More LG tomorrow!

That's excellent! I can't wait to start seeing some improvement in my LGs. 7Sage is such an amazing way to review. It has been such a big help already and I just started logic games Again, nice work. Seems like you've got a good grasp of the skills you'll need for a very high score.

Checking in.

Took the October lsat. Read Kaplan, did 3 PTs/wk for about 2 months (a little over 20), and didn't really do anything else (no review of what I got wrong!, no power bibles, wasn't on these forums, etc). Took the test literally the sickest I have been in my entire adult life. 167, not too happy, but continued my cycle anyway. Both my seat deposits were paid, my landlord was letting me out of my lease early, my work knew I was leaving, etc. Just decided I'm going again! I was really excited to start school in the fall, but being so unhappy with so much of my application, waiting is the move. Wish I would have made up my mind earlier.
Looking forward to seeing what I can do this time around!
