@ I'm doing the LSAT Trainer 16 week study plan, and I'm almost through with it. I'm just trying to find ways to effectively fit in more PT's and utilize my time efficiently. I'm about to start doing 3 PT's a week (2 after work, 1 on the weekend) and I'm trying to find a way to not slowly die, haha. @ -- yeah, I feel you. I work at a law firm too and at the end of the day I'm not at my best to take a PT. But hopefully doing it in less than ideal circumstances will actually help me in the end!

How about anyone who works full time? I'm trying to adjust my schedule starting this week so I can get in more productive studying. Though I think trying to study smarter, not just harder might just be the better tactic. Schedule so far has been:

7:00 -- Get ready for work

8:00 - 12:00 -- Work

12:00 - 1:00 -- Lunch break -- do whatever drill/review is on my list for the day

1:00 - 4:30 -- Work

4:30 - 6:00 - Try and relax, make some dinner, unwind

6:00 - 10:00 - Accomplish whatever is on my list for studying

Saturday -- PT

Sunday -- BR

I have to admit, though, I tend to study quite a bit during work as well. I think that's doing more damage than good, though, since it feels less productive. Just going through the motions, if you will.

@.rizeq Only if they are calculated in an institution's GPA, I believe. For example, I have a few AP scores that have increased the amount of credits I have at my University, but they aren't factored into my GPA at the institution or through LSAC.

@ Not all high school courses! I'm just talking about those classes that I received college credit for.

Oh shoot! That's too bad! Did your college count your AP credits towards your uGPA?

LDSA GPA -- Miscalculation?

Hi all!

Great advice on here, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this siutation. I've heard that LSAC can and does make some common mistakes calculating GPA. I have a fairly high UGPA, but some courses I took in high school bring that down (if only I had known then...). I expected this, but it seems like they brought my GPA down more than I expected. My LSAC gpa is lower than what I calculated on 7Sage LDAS GPA calculator. The two that I'm concerned have been miscalculated are one 2-quarter class where I received a B and B- and another where I received an A- and B+. The first has three credits listed under B and one under C while the other has all four credits listed under B. Everything else looks like I had expected.

This may be correct, but I'm obviously unfamiliar with the process. Does anyone know if this is the correct calculation? Thanks in advance!
