Self-study
I don’t know y’all. I am suppose to take the LSATs in April and I don’t feel confident. For some reason it’s no clicking in my head. As I do these drill questions through law hub I keep getting horrible scores and it’s becoming very discouraging. I’ve been studying a couple hours every days for the last month on top of finishing my BAS taking 3 classes this semester and I work 70-80 hrs a week. I keep telling myself if I just keep drilling then eventually it will click but nothing has. I have 2 months left to study and hopefully by April I will be ready. Pray for me y’all because I really want to go to law school. Thank you

You must understand the fundamentals first before drilling. And whilst drilling, you must be doing active review to understand why an answer is right or wrong. Don't just be drilling with the hope that you will get better.
Hi there!
Have you completed the core curriculum here or studied the equivalent somewhere else? Or have you mainly focused on drilling?
@ave Yes so, 7sage put together a study plan for me which include multiple videos of core curriculum and fundamentals to go over which I am reviewing. Mind you though each section is hours and hours of videos and skill builders. I work 70-80 hr weeks as well as taking 3 classes in the evening to find my Bachelors degree. So I have managed to get pretty far along with the core curriculum so I figured I would begin drilling. I only have until April to get this. I have noticed though the answer choices I select tend to be right but not the moooost right one. So if you look at the logistics after you can see each answer choice and the percentage of correctness. I normally pick the second highest percentage one because the highest one is the most correct. Its a little frustrating. I already only sleep 4-5 hrs a night but I'm trying to remain hopeful. When I took my first initial practice drill I believe i average somewhere between 135-140. Now I'm somewhere in the mid 150's so that's giving me hope that I am improving little by little
@Ignacio.Bone It sounds like you are working a lot and also completing a degree while studying for this test. As someone who supported myself through undergrad, I know how incredibly hard it is just to complete your degree and work. Would you consider just giving yourself time to graduate and then work for a semester or year while you focus your attention on studying and then take the test? In the grand scheme of things, maybe that would delay things for a little while, but you may get a much better score that sets you up for a better future.
