Hi, there! I'm what some universities call a "mature student". I have a full time job, I have two small kids, a house to take care of. So my "free" time, even before deciding to take the LSAT, is close to nothing. Main point is: I need to make sure the time I actually have to study is used very effectively.
I've been watching all the lessons, but, at this point, I'm questioning if all the logic lessons are worthy it. I like them (in what now feels like a previous time, I briefly went to "Math School", so I really like numbers, logic and all that), I understand them and I even see how I can apply them to solve LR questions IF I don't have the time limitation imposed by the LSAT. Maybe if I were able to take and retake the tests a hundred times I would start to see all that "structure" coming naturally, but I don't. I barely have one hour a day to study, including the weekends.
Adding to my doubts, I took a LR session this week in a more relaxed, go with my guts way. Results were not great (they never are for me at this point), but they were much better than when I try to highlight the conclusion, identify the premises, do some logic "board" and so on.
Conclusion: I'm not sure if I should keep investing my time in watching the logic lessons or if I should skip to another part of the curriculum, or maybe just take test after test.
I would love to "hear" your opinion. I guess my other, more direct question is: if you had just one hour a day until your test (I'm taking the September one), how would you use your time?
Thank you in advance! :-)
@, any tips on how the mature student here (aka me) can keep up with all the fresh students that don't need to worry even with their next meal, whereas I need to worry not only with my meal, but also with my children's meal, my job, my house and so on? I used to be a very good student (grades wise), but I just think I won't be able to make it now that I have a completely new reality. Funny thing is. I am a lawyer, back where I am from. I've been to Law School (5 years back there!), passed the "Bar" exam and all. Starting everything again is hard enough, but the LSAT might just be too much. :/
