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.

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.

Is it worth it to apply to a regional school in Mid March or wait till beginning of new cycle?
Is it worth it to apply to a regional school in Mid March or just wait 7 more months to apply with the same scores/gpa and application at the beginning of the cycle? For the regional schools I want to apply to I am 1-3 points under the LSAT 25th percentile and right at the GPA 25th percentile for the schools.
At the moment I want to apply at as many schools as possible to have a lot of options but I feel rushed with the incoming deadlines and I am worried that I am doing my self a disservice with my app numbers (LSAT and GPA) by applying this late and I realistically might only have the chance to apply to max 3 schools this cycle as opposed to the planned 6. Regardless, I have my LOR's ready, resume ready, I am currently on my second draft of my PS and still crafting my diversity statement/adenda/optional essays.
Is it realistic to think that if i apply as early as possible I might get a better shot at $$$ and a chance a getting into schools that would probably reject me If i applied late mid march?
What should I do?

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

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.

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

@leahbeuk911 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.

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.
Hello, all
I have my test scheduled for November 2018 and plan to apply December 2018
The schools I want to apply to have acceptance score averages of about 156.
At the moment I have only taken like 4 PT's and my scores ranged from 141-144. My BR has ranged from 149-151.
I obviously have not taken enough practice tests and I wonder if anyone can tell me straight up if I will have enough time to at least bump up my score to 150 by November. Also since i have taken only 4 PT's, is that like an accurate measure as to what I can aspire to score in the coming months?
Also how many PT's should I be doing a week?
Gracias!

@xadrianas6x881 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?

@xadrianas6x881 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.

@adipick708 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!
