@ @ @ @ I want to thank each of you for taking the time for reading & commenting on my post. I appreciate it SO much! I took the weekend off to shake off the discouragement and after reading this thread, I feel much more comfortable juggling the load I have while continuing to pursue my goal of being an attorney. We will all do great if we continue to work hard and not lose sight of our goal! :)

Thank you again!!

@ and @ thank you both! I needed that reassurance to shatter my preconceived timeline for taking the LSAT.

@ Glad to know I am not alone.. The past year, I didn't really have a training plan/material. I was foolish and thought the LSAT was just "another standardized test"..and boy was I very wrong and got the wake up call I deserved.

Last December I bought the LSAT trainer and worked my way through it and I started to understand the break down of the LSAT and found myself being able to read an LR question and know what the question asked of me, I could come across a LG game and know how to set up a game board, and for RC I finally saw how the passage could be broken up (so I thought). In my mind, I was ready. So, I took my first PT about a month before the June LSAT and this is when I saw my 144 and immediately withdrew. I stopped, reassessed, and decided to purchase 7Sage. I have been working thoroughly through each lesson, like you said, even if that means spending 30 min on an explanation of a question or reading through the comments to find a way that makes sense to me.

In the past year, I have noticed a burn out trying to devote equal time to work & studying. I am going to take your advice and take a brain breather when needed. I hope I can see an improvement like you have in the near future.

I guess I am worried that come my next PT after fully finishing the curriculum I don't see an improvement (Need to shake this off !!)

I really appreciate the support..Its great knowing there are people here pursuing the same goal, thank you!!

Hello,

I am hoping someone could give me some guidance ..

I have been studying the fundamentals of the LSAT sans tutor/books/etc for the past year while working full time and have had moments of "damn! why can't I just afford a tutor!?" and stopped and reassessed my studying & approach. It was at that time (about a month ago) that I came across 7Sage. The one and only PT i have taken is the 2007 one and scored a 144 (very upsetting)

I don't want to give up and think thats the best I can do since becoming an attorney has been a dream of mine since I was younger.

I am working through the curriculum and really taking the time to understand how to approach each section. Does anyone have any advice on anything else I should be doing to supplement the curriculum? I work 8-5 M-F, I study from about 6-9pm M-Thurs. & of course Saturday & Sunday.

I wanted to take the LSAT so I could apply for the fall 2017 school year, but I also don't want to give myself that deadline and add more anxiety to my progress, so I am open to waiting..

Any advice/guidance is appreciated!

Thanks guys :)

General · Advantage for Sept. v. December LSAT?

I was just thinking about this also.. I took my first PT today and scored 144. Safe to say I am pretty disappointed especially since I was hoping I could take the Sept. LSAT for admission in the same cycle you are. I think if your reaching the score you want in August then go for September, but if not, I like most, would advise you hold off until you're at the score you want! Good luck!
