As an undergraduate, I must say that the drinking advice is hard to fully accept. Is drinking on weekends without getting hammered an effective route to pursue? I take my weekends off from studying anyways, so is it really necessary to sacrifice social drinking?
Honestly, applying to law school has forced me to practice better habits. Most definitely. For me my biggest issue was drinking (still is, if we're being honest).
Ultimately it came down to me asking myself, "Jacob, would you rather pause the drinking for a few months so you can get your law application completed? Or would you rather drink for that time and not submit any law application ever?"
Considering that question in either/or terms forced me to recognize what's important. It forced me to ask myself, "What do I want out of life? Would I rather drink, never apply to law school, and then spend the rest of my life wondering what would have happened if I did? Or would it be worthwhile for me to buckle down, get a grip on things, and find out what I'm really made of?"
Regardless of the outcome of my applications, this has been a good for me. I've learned a lot about myself.
The prep tests are all 4 sections but the online version I'm taking next month is only 3 sections. Is there a way i can adjust the prep tests to have a format more similar to the one i will be writing? #help
We are currently looking into this. Unfortunately, we don't have a roll-out date or any other details yet. Sorry!
In the meantime, you can simulate LSAT Flex on our site by checking the box labeled "Simulate Flex" next to the PrepTest name in the Digital Tester. This will skip the second LR section.
See the example below:
You can also create a custom Problem Set with one section from either LG, LR, or RC. If you aren't familiar with the custom problem set interface, here are more detailed instructions on how to do this:
4. Filter further by typing keywords like "pt36" (optional)
5. Tap the plus icon at the leftmost column to add all the questions, or scroll down and mark the questions you want to include with the plus icon on the left
6. Finally, tap on "Create Problem Set with ... questions" located at the bottom of the page.
Might I also suggest the meditation by the "Art of Living" is next level! They are in all major cities, if you have the time try their 3 day course, IT IS LIFE CHANGING
Early on in my LSAT prep I learned how important it is to go for a run when I get up, before starting my prep work. If I run, eat a solid breakfast and consume a small amount of caffeine I'm the the sweet spot. If I skip any of these I'm either too nervous and scattered to focus or too sluggish to go fast. I write my exam in October and I am SURELY going for a run first. I think if I skip this I'll have too much nervous energy to focus.
I wouldn't use paper. Get used to staring at a screen for four hours straight with timed tests. It can be straining on your eyes if you are not used to it. Just my opinion though.
I’m on my IPad so I’m not sure how to post links since it’s all apps, but if you go on YouTube and type in “Sam Harris meditation guide 15 mins” it’ll pop up all versions (longer or shorter) and I found the 15 mins one just down below on the first page. If you have YouTube Premium, you can save the video and it allows you play screen off. If not, you can also download the video. I just did a trial run and it started downloading, but I had to pause it cuz I don’t want it on my IPad lol.
Is there a way for me to download the guided meditation? Or is there an external link to it? I really want to bring it with me whenever I travel, and I just do not find an equivalently good guided meditation.
The best argument I've heard for exercising during your prep is that it increases blood flow/oxygen to your brain. So exercise is like viagra for the brain, lol.
Also, I've stayed away from alcohol for basically the past two years because of #5 and the fact that I keep pushing back/retaking the test. Thanks, JY.

meditations don't seem to be working still? browser issue?
Deepak Chopra's abundance meditation on Spotify = lifechanging
Love the holistic approach to studying. It's so true that a healthy lifestyle really benefits your studies.
#feedback Not sure if it's just me or the new version of 7Sage, but I don't see the meditation audio files any more!
Needed a reminder of these, thank you! Really puts into perspective the toll the LSAT has on the mind and body
Is there any we can download these meditation audio files?

heavy on this
and what about food? ))) no food at all? only coffee/tea?
In step 5, please capitalize "God." For anyone who is religious, we thank ya'll.

Y’all
It would actually be "y'all" because it is lowercase! lol but nice try! =) happy LSAT-ing!
She's saying it's spelled y'all not ya'll lmfao
That's exactly what your response to @charlee.vance-1-1-1 gives
Did you like your own comment? lmfao
Yeah, and I'm saying it wouldn't be capitalized in that context lol.

I am glad to see that the aspects of Hinduism, the oldest religion in the world is here. Meditation works people!
Awesome suggestions!
I feel like this would be a good introduction, before the core curriculum! still glad this is included though!
Seriously !! Wish i had seen it in chapter one
Agreed!! I wish this would have been at the beginning!
Early on in my LSAT prep I learned how important it is to go for a run when I get up, before starting my prep work.

Good luck on your journey!
#help should we still be printing out exams even though they will be now on computers?? I dont know how I should be taking them!
i need answers!
I am wondering the same!
I wouldn't use paper. Get used to staring at a screen for four hours straight with timed tests. It can be straining on your eyes if you are not used to it. Just my opinion though.
Why the hate on black tea? Nothin like a nice cuppa earl gray...
The only modern purpose of black tea is as a vessel for bergamot intake, as in Earl Grey.
All other black tea is obsolete and only functions to stain teeth unnecessarily while providing a weak-ass caffeine solution (as opposed to coffee).
Green tea is superior. Check it.
Man this is a lil savage.....
Battle cry: FOR JY!!!!!!!!!!
reads novel in bed and wakes up early
#help can anyone help me find the 15 minute version online to download?

Sam Harris's guided meditations are great, and his podcast is also awesome. Just sayin

These are from Waking Up Podcast with Sam Harris, so I think you can download from there: https://wakingup.libsyn.com/mindfulness-meditation-9-minutes

Um... Maybe not jogging. But I could probably get back into Yoga or dance games again for a bit.
is there an offline version of the guided meditation?
