Decided on taking a gap year. How should I continue studying? Forum

So I just came back from a 2.5 week vacation in Cuenca, Ecuador, and decided that I'd love to take a year off after graduating this year from college to teach English there for a year. I've read so far: The Trainer, Manhattan LR+RC, PS LG thinking I'd write this October/December. I haven't started drilling yet, though.

I'd still like to keep preparing for next year's batch of LSATs. So my question here is: how should I keep preparing for the LSAT throughout my gap year? Read formal/informal logic textbooks? Subscribe/read different kinds of journals? Thanks in advance for your tips/suggestions!

You don't need any books other than the ones you've read. Drilling is most important right now. Get the Cambridge packets.

This. Cambridge packets and a nice printer/copier.

I mean, I don't know. If you're floundering on RC or something and just don't think of yourself as a particularly good critical reader, a year of reading dense stuff that you're interested in might be enough to show some appreciable gains.

But honestly, that's way more of a crapshoot than drilling, yeah. Find a guide out there from somebody who studied for 12-15 months and copy them.

No. I got a job that has been eating up a lot of my focus. Putting my retake and law school off for a year or so.
