Following what you both said, I definitely agree that quality is more important than quantity, but at what point do the diminishing returns (which you get from continuing to study on a given day) create negative returns? how do you guys determine when to call it quits each day.

Honestly, I wish there was an algorithm to tell me when im overworking but there isn't. To be honest, I set realistic goals that I can get done and try to accomplish them (Thank you 7Sage's schedule). Albeit, I fall behind on schedule sometimes because I may have to re-watch some CC stuff (like right now I'm on grouping games, trying to ace it) or I just wasn't able to study that much a certain day. But regardless, there isn't a surefire method. You just know when you can't do anymore. And by that I mean, that If I study more I will not have the focus nor motivation to complete said task. If you lack interest in the LSAT or just HATE it completely, you won't be able to finish studying for it. That is how I started out, lack of interest and general hate but I'm pretty sure I developed Stockholm's Syndrome because I lowkey enjoy studying now lol.

@ I like your suggestion of incorporating an extra 30 minutes each week. I guess it differs for everyone, but essentially what i'm asking is at what point do you know when to stop?

I read this https://www.quora.com/How-many-hours-should-I-study-without-break

Specifically this comment " One needs timely breaks for more retention of the information while the other can sit for long hours at a stretch for studying. However, how many hours you study at a stretch does not matter, what matters is how much concentration and focus you are able to put in whatever number of hours you study. Besides, ideally i would suggest 3–4 hours.".

Hope that helps, and don't hesitate to DM me, I don't mind having someone to motivate while also being motivating myself at the same time :smile:

Good Luck!

Conduct for the Test Day

Hi! So I'm registered for the October 2019 LSAT and had a couple questions. I live in Canada so the weather in October will probably cold.

Am I allowed to wear my winter coat ? What about a hoodie?

Am I allowed to bring my wallet to the test centre?

What should I do with my phone if I need to call a ride after the exam?

I googled this stuff but keep getting conflicting info, so any input would be appreciated. And if this has been asked before, please link the discussion below :)

Thanks!

You can refer to this: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/8265

Also personally, try to give yourself some breaks in between. Don't do ANYTHING LSAT or PRODUCTIVE for an hour (or more) in my opinion, go for a walk, watch an episode of your favorite show, nap, workout, etc.

In regards to improving your mental stamina, I like to push my self an extra 30 mins each week. For example, Week 1 I spend 3 hours without a break, Week 2 I spend 3 hours AND 30 minutes without a break. But don't overdue it I personally cut myself off at the 4 hour mark, after that I force myself to take break.

With that being said, you are human, and there are limitations to your ability. Overdosing on caffeine and/or forcing yourself to keep studying while not retaining anything won't help you. Realize when you need a break and give it to yourself. Similar to BR, the quality of your studying matters more than the quantity of it.

I dont know if I should report this here, but on restarting a fresh copy of a problem set causes the program to glitch, if I click anything on the top toolbar (Sound, Time, Etc). The window doesn't close/ will keep reopening when I click anywhere. Any help would be appreciated!

I submitted an accommodation form for the flex test on the 23rd. Should have heard back by now, should I reach out to them? Or give it more time?

I know some people that have gotten it already, check your LSAT Test Registration Status

One of the webinars called Active Reading may speak to this.

Will there be alternative dates for these after these sessions finish?

An update: we tried to reproduce the problem using both Windows 10 Chrome browser and the app on iPhone 8, but were unable to. Do you mind sharing some more details about what happened on your side so we can more closely match what is causing the issue?

Sure! I was using Safari on the latest Mac OS (Mojave). Let me speak more on what was happeneing, essentially if I did not wipe the data from the previous problem set, the toolbar becomes "sticky" (unable to fully close if clicked on during the test) and if it does close it just opens back up when clicking anywhere on the screen.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
