I see a lot of groups form here with lots of people and undoubtedly a lot of noise. Personally, I wouldn't gain from entering a sea of people making noise on a discord group.
I'd like to form a small group of people ((10) that can support each other to develop our skills and study efficiently. I want to keep the bar high for the group, so you should have scored a 155+ on your diagnostic to qualify, or are PT-ing at 165+. Does anyone want to participate?(/p)
Hi everyone,
I'm a 173 scorer (4 months of study) and now tutoring students part-time. I offered a bunch of pro-bono tutoring this month and had a great response with almost to two dozen sessions.
I'm offering up some more sessions to help people get their studying on the right track. If you have questions about how to use your time effectively, building strategies for specific sections, or anything else big-picture LSAT study - feel free to reach out.
You got this (3(/p)
How many test sections have you done in between these PTs? What has your primary mode of practice been during these months of study?
Well I wouldn't consider this restarting or learning from scratch... If you are familiar with the exam and you know where weaknesses or gaps in your comprehension lie, in general, then you might be getting good use of your efforts in the CC.
I think your approach is fine. I only caution getting too comfortable with only doing CC for months and then getting into real test questions. There is no replacement for doing the test questions and the majority of learning will come from doing questions and making mistakes, and taking those mistakes as opportunities to learn. Doing a lot of theory without practicing actual questions can be an issue.
It comes down to you... Checking in with yourself regularly asking if you are really learning and engaged with material and not just autopiloting to feel a sense of accomplishment. As long as you feel good about your return on time investment it's fine (hard numbers and metrics are also useful to have over time).
Hope that helps! Happy to offer a free tutoring session to offer my best advice for your situation.
I would recommend doing PT sections before getting into curriculum. If you have 3-5 PT's worth of sections complete, you'll be much more informed on what you're actually looking at in the CC. Plenty of CC that you might not need to cover and things that you do need help with will be more effective to study after having already encountered them. Have you taken a diagnostic yet?
Tough hustles in undergrad like this can be a plus, as they speak to your ability to study and work at the same time, and they show a certain work ethic. They won't hurt to include, and some if not many admissions people will look at this positively. You can mention these it in your PS and make sure that matches with brief but accurate accounts of these jobs on your resume.
Howdy! Just hit my target score of 173 on the October LSAT - first attempt after 4 months of study. I worked with an incredible tutor to get here and I wanted to pass that forward. I haven't professionally tutored before so I'd like to offer some free tutoring to gain experience and see how I feel about it. I want to work with people aiming to score at their highest potential no matter what it takes :) I have some hours in the day to currently devote to this so please feel free to get in touch!

My hot take on blind review is to BR only questions you got incorrect, or ones that were just very tricky and you weren't sure about the answer/flagged. I'm not too found of BR-ing entire exams if you know why you arrived on the correct answer. Again, everyone is different.
