Hi everyone,
I'm taking somewhat of an LSAT hiatus for March (school, it happens) but I'm going to start a goal-setting/accountability thread here. Even if my goals will be pretty lean for the next three weeks, it'll be nice to have a solid motivation system in place for April, when I'm hoping to come back to LSAT with a VENGEANCE haha.
So the idea is that every week (let's say window from Sunday night to Tuesday morning), we post our tasks that we want to accomplish for the week -- and then the following week we check back and see if everyone managed to cross off the study items on their to-do list. :-) I'm hoping this will help us all stay motivated and accountable!

I think I'm taking this week off lol :(
Slowly getting there! I decided to save PT 42 for this week instead since I'm spending more time on drilling & BR!
@2543.hopkins aww thanks girl! I'm trying..
@igbodoe249 -__- where did the time go?
@hrjones44251 don't be lol I do 40-50 hrs per week. This is my job :( so I don't have a choice but to do so much.
This week wasn't as productive as I would have liked in terms of accomplishing what I set out BUT I've been able to sustain some good LSAT momentum, which is nice :)
THIS WEEK:
1) Review PT10
2) Drill LR weaknesses & difficult RC passages (RC all day, err day -- just like @licknee10505 mentioned)
3) Take PT 11, 12, and which ever one the BR group decides to go over on Saturday
4) Review & repeat step #2
My week was encouraging! Still can't explain how I've managed to sustain this momentum for 7+ weeks now; I realized I really enjoy LSAT and that probably explains motivation to keep going. Did at least 4 hours M-F and Saturday was an epic 14 hour LSATurday (BR group was the best part obviously). Sunday took it kinda easy, maybe 4 hours total—signed up for 7sage finally (I know ... got bills, y'all) and moving quickly through that.
I've got some drills and final chapters from the Trainer to finish, as well as PT 36 on Tuesday/BR, various LGR/LRB/7sage activities, doing BR every morning ... Finishing up the "learning" phase more or less and preparing for the test/review/refine phase coming up within about 2 weeks. Most of 7sage overlaps with what I've already learned but there are a few sections that are not covered much or at all in Trainer/LGB/LRB. That's how I justify spending that money to myself, anyway.

@hrjones44251 I believe you have described a prime example of the phenomenon known as "beast mode"! Way to go :D
First time doing this.
Goals for the week
-PT 61, 60, 62 on Mon,Wed,Sat
-Drilling 30 questions from LR Most Difficult Cambridge Packet on Tues, Thurs.
-Sunday off
This week I'm just trying to survive =/
Yes! I've taken a lot of the PTs that have been BR'ed in the group thus far but I have not taken PT 60 yet! WOOHOOOOOO
@hrjones44251 Perks (I guess?) of having nothing to do but the LSAT.
Will do 60 next week. I do 1 PT/2weeks
HOW ARE WE ONLY 7 WEEKS OUT? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH lol
Thank you for checking in on me and this thread. The month of March came and went. I had surgery so I was recovering and was in too much pain to study. I am going to start today - I will see how I feel in May - I may aim for October to give myself a fair chance.
@2543.hopkins. While I'm very flattered, Saturday night is reserved for the wife and the kids. :) Maybe after I've got a few PTs under my belt. :)
Last week: didn't do much. Got through a few RC science passages and Logic Games from early PTs. Took and group BRed PT 52. This week:
-PTs 50, 51, 53
-Remaining problem sets for Main Point, MSS and Weakening questions
-Fool proof 1 Logic Game per day (except full PT days)
-1 RC science set per day (except full PT days)
Got everything done, except I’ve changed my strategy a little. Instead of drilling, I want to make sure my fundamentals (irrespective of timing) are unquestionable. To that end, I’m going to painstakingly write up answer explanations to PTs 36-40 as I BR them. To practice, I’ll write up answer explanation for June 2007 PT this week. Finish LG Bundle (but not Fool-proofing, that will continue through May)
Finish Trainer 39-40.
Planning on Blind Review/Write up Answer Explanations (a la LSAT TRAINER) for my first 5 PTs.
Foolproof 10-15 games/day.
Read 30 minutes/day using Spreeder.com (Graeme Blake’s method)
PT 36 this Sunday. My first PT since the initial June 2007 test. Time to see if there’s been any progress.
This week is going to be brutal so I won't have as much time as I'd like. Last week I did -Next 4 Cambridge RC passages, -First 3 Difficult LG drills -Completed Weakening/Assumption and Causation lessons but did not get to PT 50. I did 36 instead. This week I hope to have time for:
-Redo logic games from PT 36
-Retake PT 47 Friday and group BR Saturday
-PT 52--take Sunday and group BR Monday
-Next 4 Science RC passages
-Next 4 hard LGs and watch JY's video explanations
-Re-watch strengthening and validity/MBT videos
Pretty much did all I set out to do save the necessary assumption drills
This week:
Necessary Assumption drills
Weakening drill
LG PTS 27-35
Foolproof 10-15 games per day (it's a way of life)
Trainer (chaps 26-29, 38-40)
Devise a fundamental skills drill chart
