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!

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!
