@ Thank you so much! Handling a new puppy is super stressful too so adding that to your current schedule is a lot to handle! I am glad you are powering through. And WOW. Your improvement in games is quite impressive!!! I love games a lot but I just suck at them. I have linear games down but any others like hybrid or in/out or grouping I am just god awful. I am curious to know who your tutor is (if it is someone on here or an outside resource) as I am open to that. I am financially needy at least for the next couple of months but am willing to make it work if it is worth it which it sounds like it is. I have the chance to save money later on when I move back home this fall. Are you able to provide me with any resources as far as the tutoring services you have done? Thanks!

@ I appreciate your insight so much. I will most definitely look into these support groups, as my peers can't even begin to relate to my struggles! Timing is a big thing for me and I felt so rushed to be able to work and work and to save as much money as I possibly could before even thinking about applying to Law School that I couldn't even come up for air as far as actually taking a moment to study in depth of this test. You have made me feel 110% better, as well as the other responses I've received on this discussion. I will keep in mind that my timeline is no one else's. I'm going to listen to some of those podcasts you recommended tonight. Thank you again!

@ Thank you SO MUCH!! I am the type of person who thinks that I can cut corners and immediately catch up with the rest of the flock, as I have been doing in my studies and any sports I've done growing up, and it has always worked for me because I am a "fast learner". Well, I have realized with the LSAT, cutting corners DOES NOT EXIST. Maybe, someone who is superman/superwoman can achieve a 30 point jump by studying for 1 month, but that would be something out of this world. I have picked here and there of the sections in the CC, and I planned on taking the August exam, then contemplated October, and now thinking November. Even though I have enough basis on the very very basics already, I think I am going to start at square one and really just dive into the CC. It just scared me because when I inputted my preferred test date, the system told me that it was a very bad idea saying something like "You will have to study for 14 hours a day for the next 3 months to finish the curriculum" which is why I never even started that in the first place. Updates to come, thank you for your real, raw advice.

Hello all,

Going to spill a lot of feelings here so please refrain from any judgmental comments. I last took my LSAT in Feb and got a 145, I took about two months off after that, and started studying 3-4 nights a week, 1-2 hours at a time until mid June, it is the end of July now and I just took about 1 week off because I was honestly getting burnt tf out. I decided to study by section, so I’m just finishing up my Logical Reasoning but my most recent and best so far is -10 which is still bad. I have yet to fully study games and RC since I plan to take my exam again in October and want it to be my last. I need a 150 to get into my school so it can’t be too hard right?

Well it’s tough, I am drained by the time I come home at 5 PM, I go train in the gym for an hour or two, still have to cook, study, and I want to be in bed by 10 every night. I’m using 7Sage alone and have tried bibles, LSAT trainer and not really fond of them. I’ve been on here before seeing how I can improve my comprehension and understanding but I’m still getting -10 on LR by itself, and it is super, super discouraging. I’ve also contemplated on if this career is right for me, as I am scared to get into something that will put me into a lot of debt, possibly a lot of stress, and something that I could regret. I have a reason to get into law, as I have a personal connection with knowing how hard it can be for those who cannot advocate for themselves, and that is where I want to help, plus the idea of law just really fascinates me. So I’m curious, what do you all do when you’re in this state of mind of “Can I do this?” “Is this career going to be the one for me?” I am 22 years old and done with my undergrad already so I’m just trying to get on with the next step of my life. I know it is truly possible to get an increase in score but I’m not sure if it’s something to do with me since I have tried multiple study programs and still not making that much improvement, like I’m un-teachable or something. To end this rant, I was wondering if any of you had any true, raw advice for someone like me who is questioning everything and feeing doubtful about improving my score. I’m prepared to hear some honest truth here.

Thanks!

Necessary Assumptions

Hi all, I have been tracking necessary questions for about two weeks. I was on a roll getting 5/5’s from the syllabus course and now the questions are getting harder and harder and I’m not quite able to negate as fast, nor do I understand what I am negating half the time or how I come up with the right answer for these harder questions. I’m going to be honest, it’s the stimulus that I flat out don’t understand sometimes and I always eliminate down to two answer choices and choose the wrong one still (again choosing the wrong one because I can’t negate very well). I always blind review and watch the explanation videos but it’s always until after does it make sense. I can’t seem to make this jump on my own. 2 weeks ago, weaken questions were my worst and I drilled and drilled and now I get them all right, but these necessary assumption ones are the death of me. Can someone try to dumb it down for me since obviously I can’t get it? Thank you, I am not a quitter but I am getting really discouraged on this particular question type.
