Helpful post, EuripidesFan. If I also take the December LSAT and apply in late Dec/early Jan, do you think I will be at a significant disadvantage? What do other people think? A higher score from December will certainly outweigh a lower score from October even if I manage to submit my applications in late-November.
For someone who has finished the 7sage lessons and is about to start the PTs, what would be a good weekly study schedule? I recognize that taking as many PTs, BR-ing them and training yourself under the time constraint is key to doing well. I have read some posts where people say average 2 PTs per week with a break in between. Let's say I am preparing for the December LSAT. I also work full time. Any advice would be highly appreciated.
I am still trying to get the timing right. Recognize that there will be questions that I will have to skip and come back to if I have time at the end. Would really benefit hearing from those of you who finish all the questions within the 35 min and still maintain good accuracy on how you pace yourself and what are the benchmarks you stick to when doing timed PTs. By all means they are meant to be flexible.
From what I have read:
LR- First 10 in 10 min or less (and if possible first 15 in 15 min)
LG- Easy games under 5 min (someone wrote doing the first two games within 15 min)
RC- Easy passages under 7 and hard passages under 9 (aim to finish the first two passages within 15 min)
Thanks, Eric! Very helpful. I will adjust my weekly study plan accordingly.
I am in the same boat with you guys. Taking the Feb LSAT and applying by early March will put you at a strategically disadvantageous position. Law schools admit students on a rolling basis and unless you have a stellar LSAT score like 170+, most of the seats will have been already filled by then. I was hoping to apply this year as well but I have decided to wait until next year. Now retaking the June LSAT and will focus on trying to get better at LR which is where I lost a lot of points. PT 71 was a tough test and it had a -13 curve for 170. Good luck if you are retaking the Feb LSAT!
I am also interested in the 180 watch. The website said they are out of stock. If anyone is interested in selling, inbox me.
Thanks, Katherine! Good luck!
