Self-paced
Just took the June lsat, scored in the mid 150s, aiming for early 160s. Anyone have a good study schedule to prep for the September test? Feeling defeated before I even start :(

Hello! You still have plenty of time before September, and your official score isn't too far away from your goal, so I feel like it's completely doable! I don't know how much you have done with the PrepTests, but when you feel ready to get back to studying, I highly recommend taking a PT in one sitting to simulate the actual exam environment. As you might have felt during your June exam, it's easy to feel fatigued by the time you reach the fourth section. That was my case; my brain was on strike by the end of the third section. Only after I regularly simulated the actual exam time did I stop feeling fatigued at the end.
After completing a full PT, invest your time in the review (which doesn't need to happen on the same day you complete a PT). There's no need to rush during your review. Move on only if you completely understand your mistake and how not to repeat it next time.
I hope this helps, and best of luck! You got this.
Hey there. I'm sorry you didn't get the goal score. When you're ready to hear the good news: you've got plenty of time to close that gap. Feel defeated for as long as you need, and then when you're ready, figure out a schedule that's sustainable for you. Quality is always a priority over quantity, and remember to give yourself at least one rest day a week! The bulk of your studying should come from drilling; generally, I wouldn't recommend more than 1 practice test a week (fresh ones are in limited supply, and unless you're actively working on strategy or trying to assess where you're at, they're not an efficient use of study hours and you won't really see an improvement after 3-4 days).
