I think you sound very prepared and dedicated and you are on the right track! Just do what you can, but be careful of burn out :) Good luck!

@ Thank you so much for your kind words and understanding! I think we are mentally in the exact same place right now. I have starred that link, and I will be re-reading it soon. :)

@ Thank you :)

@ Thank you! I also wake up earlier than I need to, but in the mornings I like to work out. It gives me a chance to destress and clear my brain. Luckily my fiance always gets home before I do, and he's been understanding enough to help and make dinner the last few weeks, so I can go straight into studying. But you're right - when it gets hard, it's SO helpful to remember what we're working so hard for! (3(/p)

@ 1. OMG I love your username haha. 2. Congrats on your 8 month old :) 3. Thank you SO SO MUCH. This is exactly what I was looking for. I just need to remind myself that every little bit counts, and to keep on going.

@ My test center is actually at the Marriott across the street from my work! I've been there more times than I can count. I'm hoping that it might help to have a sense of familiarity.

Help Me Calm Down!!!

Hi all!

This is my first time posting in a Discussion Forum, and I could really use some words of encouragement. I currently work full time as a paralegal, and I have been studying since September of 2017. I'm not gonna lie to you, and I'm sure many of you know - it's so gosh darn hard to make yourself study after a full day of work!! Anyways, at first I wasn't studying very regularly, but then I got into the habit of studying on my lunch breaks, and after work as well. It's been SO exhausting, but I know that it's worth it when I see myself getting higher scores and having deeper understandings on a consistent basis. I was originally going to take the February 2018 test, but I then decided to take the June 2018 test instead, so that I would have more time to study. I THINK I'll be okay taking this June test, but I'm starting to panic again with it being right around the corner. I'm not sure if my doubts have any real basis, or if it's just me being my normal super paranoid anxious test-taking self. I know that if I'm not pleased with my score, I can retake the LSAT in September, but I just don't want to have to resort to that. Is that silly of me?

Thanks in advance for reading and for your help :)

After going through quite a few of these explanations, I noticed that one problem I may have is that I'm not reading the answer choices carefully enough. For example, in this question, I read answer A to say RURUAL groups, not URBAN groups. I think I'm rushing to try to get through the sections in decent time, and not being careful enough. Thanks, J.Y. for these explanations! I feel like I'm getting a lot out of them.

@ said:

Was the logic games section with the months and something about W X Y Z, the experimental or the real one? It was the last question of the LG.

That one was real! I only had one LG section, and this was in it!

Hi! I'm also studying for the February 2018 LSAT. However, I haven't officially registered to take it yet. I work full time, and I just moved to a new area, so I'm just going to take it day by day. If the February LSAT Registration deadline comes around and I feel like I'm not ready yet, I'm going to keep studying and take the June one instead. :)

I had a silly moment with this question, and it wasn't until I watched this video that I realized what I had done wrong. I originally eliminated ACs C, D, and E because they said "most of Denmark's population". I thought to myself, "The sample size was only 1000 people, how could we know what most of the population is thinking?!" However, after watching the video and hearing JY read out this part of a sentence which I guess I didn't pay enough attention to initially, I realized my mistake: "The sample comprised of adults who are representative of the general population"... Oops!

I saw some previous comments asking, but wasn't sure if a clear answer was given or not - Is there a way to record / push back the lesson for us West Coast folks who might still be at work? Thank you in advance, either way! :)
