Hello!

Like some of you, I am feeling the effects of burnout and am still planning to test in September after consistently hitting my target. However, I was wondering what all of your takes were on reading for pleasure in the meantime. For example, I was thinking about beginning the 4th Harry Potter book, but wasn't sure if this was a good idea. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    Multiple test centers. I'd guess you'd need an alternate identity too, but I think with a time turner you could probably hook that up.

    Frankenstein is a great book that was horribly written, lol. At one point I think it devolves four layers deep into a story within a story within a story within a story. I love Frankenstein, but if the structure serves any purpose at all, I've never understood it. And if it really doesn't serve a purpose, then it's just convoluted and confusing. In spite of that, it's just such a great story that who cares.

    Walking dead comic books. Online, anything can be free.

    I started reading Frankenstein which isn't very simply written. Lots of long sentences and referential phrasing. I really enjoy it but also think it has the potential to get my used to the RC writing styles? Killing two birds with one stone.

    @jhaldy10325 What I wish is I had a time turner like her. I feel like having one of those would really simplify this whole LSAT thing.

    Haha, but remember that when you go back in time, you are not supposed to meet your old self.

    @476 lol

    @jhaldy10325

    for sure. But I think even she wasn't allowed to use it during test to cheat :(

    And, of course, she never would anyway!

    @jhaldy10325 I was thinking about stopping Wednesday or Thursday but not taking the whole week off

    You know yourself best. If you think stopping a few days before is all you need then do that...just avoid anything that will cause burnout/stress/anxiety.

    @jhaldy10325 I was leaning more towards easing into it by doing two timed sections and BR then PT the next day but am not sure where it is close to game day. Really only planning on taking three more max.

    I think you're on the right track. We're already almost one week into September and before you know it, you'll be sitting in your test center dominating the LSAT. Focus on your weak spots and I think 3 more PTs is reasonable. Just reserve the last week for relaxation and nothing LSAT study related :)

    Oh and one more question: coming off burnout would you say it's best to ease back into things or take a full PT? I was leaning more towards easing into it by doing two timed sections and BR then PT the next day but am not sure where it is close to game day. Really only planning on taking three more max. Thanks!

    @476 Plus, Hermoine's ability to study for long hours is great motivation to keep studying. :)

    I actually just finished reading all the Harry Potter Books again. I actually think it helped me remember how much I enjoy reading. I felt like the LSAT kind of made me forget that. Plus, Hermoine's ability to study for long hours is great motivation to keep studying. :)

    That is a fantastic idea. I started at Sorcerer's Stone.

    Do itttt! anything that relaxes you without causing stress is worth doing. This will help keep your RC skills sharp too...readers always do best in these scenarios!
