My only reason for wanting to take it in June is to get the real life experience of taking the test, maybe getting a decent score (155 or above) and see what I can improve upon for the September LSAT, but now I realize that may be a dumb move because I have not taken the diagnostic yet and with limited study time because of the full time job, I may be setting my self up for failure for the June Test when instead I can just switch my test date to September and focus on only taking it once which would be in September and giving it my all in regards to studying like I am doing right now but with more prep time.

Btw for the sections LG were tough and LR/RC seemed easier and quicker for me to grasp.

Thoughts?

Thank you again for your responses.

@ Do you suggest postponing until September 2018 LSAT then?

Hello Everyone,

I Just finished going through all the CC. I am also taking the June 2018 Test. I haven't taken a diagnostic yet and plan to do it this weekend and then from there work on the BR method in all areas for a month till May 11 (planning to purchase all the LSAT Bibles as well and incorporate them for my month long BR session) and then do timed PT's from May 11 till the test date on June 11. I have been working full time M-F 8-5 while doing the CC and plan to do so for the rest of my studies for the LSAT. I wanted to know peoples thoughts on my current game plan and that if I score below a 150 on my diagnostic test and given my current study plan while working full time, would the June 2018 test date be worth it or should I wait till the September 2018 LSAT?

Gracias.

15 mins before PT, I do one easy LG game and 2 easy LR question. Ever since I started doing that, I dont get flustered anymore when I start the test and I am in the zone.

You know what worked for me is to write out the RC in my own words when I did BR, it is hella time consuming, but every RC section after I started doing that I went from -16 to -5 or -4 in the span of 5 PT's. I also write out the LR section in my own words and I went from -15 to -7 or -8 in around 6 PT's as well. This transformation made me realize that I CAN answer these questions, I just didnt know wtf I was reading cause I would get confused by the complex language some questions have. This time consuming strategy is clicking for me so I am going to keep pushing.

@ Hello, I work full time as well. I have been studying since around April and planning to apply this cycle. Do you think I gave myself enough time to study? How much time did you give yourself to study from when you started to the time you took your first lsat exam? Im planning to take the lsat for the first time in November and so far my PT scores have not been good at all 144-146 with a BR of 153. This week I stopped taking weekly PT's and I am forcing myself to go through the CC again. Please let me know you're thoughts, thank you.

taking a couple days off is the key to success on the marathon that is the lsat.

Holy shit, you have just changed my approach. Thanks for taking the time do this!!!

What do you think of Tottenham?.....

In my experience as someone who works full time as a paralegal and is studying to take the LSAT, which means that I usually come home mentally exhausted every other day and I don't even want to read anything else, it is important that you give yourself as much time as possible to prepare for this exam. I would say if you can at least 1 year. Considering that there are people who are able to study full time and don't need to work, I believe they can prepare fully within 6-7 months. Again, this is just my opinion. But please make sure you give yourself enough realistic time to prepare.

I am going for Mexico and thinking about Sundays game is stressing me outtttttttttt.......

@ I see but regardless i think at this point ima just upgrade my 7sage account. Do you know which PT are good for drilling for beginners and which PT's i should keep for when I start doing timed PT's?

@ thank you for your response, but what I had in mind are the powerscore workbooks not the bible themselves where they explain their version of figuring out problems. Or is here no difference between the two? I thought the workbooks simply just had sections of which I could use to drill or practice.

Thanks mijo!

@ thank you for the responses. I guess my question was like in terms of drilling for the LR,LG, and RC sections would the work books be good for drilling or should I just upgrade my 7Sage package. Because I have the starter package and i only have access to easy problem sets for drilling and I thought by getting the work book it could help me for drilling .For the PT that were included I don’t want to touch them till I feel completely ready to use them since there is a finite amount of them. Or should I disregard all of that and just upgrade because they other packages to include harder problem sets and i can just use for that drilling plus I would get more PT to use for timed tests.

Seems like the schools I am applying to don't have any specific guidelines regarding length, I will just aim for 1.5 pages, thanks everyone!

IF you work part time/full time, I would give yourself way more time to study as opposed to someone who is not working and studying full time. I work full time, 40 plus hours a week and I have been studying since January and plan to take the November LSAT to apply this cycle.

I would start by doing a easy lg game and 4 easy lr q's to get you warmed up like 15 min before taking a PT. That should ease the anxiety.

Gracias!

Is the LSAC/CAS GPA the degree (summary) GPA or the cumulative GPA at the end of the Academic Summary Report?

Are you applying to a school in the bay area? if so, which one?
