I am interested if you are still taking students

@Kevin_Lin Thank you for your input and feedback. I think my desire to achieve a consistent 180 before heading into timed is holding me back. I have been viewing it as my ceiling if I move on without it, assuming that anything else will only be as good or worse. I will try your recommendations, and just trust the process that I can continue to improve. Thanks again!

I work full-time w/ overtime, doing a house renovation, along with command time in the Army, all while studying. A few thoughts:

A) Schedule your LSAT and adjust your law school timeline if required. I decided I wanted to give myself the best shot to get into my top schools, versus pushing myself so hard, and/or not getting as much studying done as I needed to where I would have to settle.

B) Find your routine that works best for you. After work, I immediately drive to the library to study for a couple hours. If I go home, I am a goner. If you have ever read Atomic Habits this aligns with some of that.

C) Little pockets of time can be super valuable, like lunch.

D) Try not to overrun yourself. I gave myself a good bit of time to study, but I have plenty of times overworked myself and burned out while studying. This is still something I am working on because I tend to run myself into the ground on a normal day, but I hope you can strike a healthier balance than me because it has disrupted my studying a number of times.

Everyone’s journey is different. You may just need to spend more time in the basics. I found The Loophole very helpful for this, especially with their Basic Translation and CLIR practice methods. Instead of knocking out practice tests, you may need to focus on the fundamentals until they become second nature, and work on your method so you aren’t practicing poorly. Additionally, I made a little worksheet for myself that forces me to exercise some of the elements different resources taught, so maybe try that. Taking a bit of a break from your cycle may also be helpful just mentally as well. You got this! If you are competitive like me (if not, skip); Don’t focus on a the comments talking about how well they are doing, they aren’t you, and they aren’t on your journey… and honestly, can we even verify it to all be true? Get you and your process right, and you may be making one of those posts yourself

For me it is worth it for the drilling alone, and that doesn't take into account the curriculum. Yes, it is $99 a month, but this whole process is about investment, so why short yourself when making sure you get into your dream school where you will spend +100x that? (Accounting for a year of the monthly subscription.) That's just my opinion. I tried going the free or cost limiting route similar to yourself at first, and I wish I just jumped in after finding something that worked.

I treat it as a continuation of my job. Instead of going home, I pack a dinner and head to the library. I don't make it optional, and that continued momentum helps me. If I go home, even just to stop by, I am going to struggle to find motivation and probably not study or do what I need to. For me this also helps with my mental health because when I do go home I am not frustrated with myself and having anxiety about studying since I know I already did what I need to do.

Studying while working full-time is hard, and it doesn't give a lot of time for life to happen depending on your schedule. Since it is hard, if you haven't done so already, you might want to register for the test, or plan intermittent school visits to make it real for you. When you are stuck in the grind of a full time job, it is easy to lose sight of your dreams and passions, so it can help keeping it at the forefront so it doesn't feel so abstract and far off.

Feel free to DM me. I have taught classes on resume building, and enjoy helping people with build/structure their resume.

I highly recommend looking up the Loophole's CLIR strategy/Basic Reading Comprehension drills, and work work on those. They have helped a lot, and they get to the foundational understanding of the stimulus. Especially the Basic Reading Comprehension, since it forces you to put it in your own words, and therefore, understand the stimulus, along with improve your memory (helps with time). A tip I saw/have practiced is to go through a drill, don't even look at the question, or the answers, put the audio recording on your phone, and talk/walk through each stimulus out loud (and try not to constantly reread).

First of all, you got this! Just take it day-by-day, and trust that your process will get you where you need to be. Second, I talked to the University of Michigan about early application, and what I was told is that they admit people as they get applications. So the earlier the better. That said, they did say you should definitely go for early applications, so if the schools you are planning to apply to still consider it within that window, I would call it good. If you are still worried, refer back to the first point ;)

I'm interested. Beyond 7Sage those are my two main study material, and I am about halfway through each.
