For any people who did their first writing sample for the Jan 2021 LSAT Flex, many days roughly did it take for LSAC to approve your writing sample?
Four

You have like 7 months, you definitely do NOT need to be studying 35 hours/week. That's 5 hours a day and highly unrealistic even for someone not working full time to maintain from the end of January until August. Try to set aside 30-60 minutes a day during the week, more time on the weekend. Work through a curriculum before you start going too hard on practice tests.
Here's the suggested LSAT Trainer schedule. Obviously it's tied to their book, but it only suggests 8-10 hours a week for 4 months out. Much more realistic and should be manageable working full time. http://www.thelsattrainer.com/assets/16-week-lsat-study-schedule-2020.pdf
Also my initial diagnostic was around 150 as well, and I scored a 166 on the actual exam while also working full time, so you can definitely do it with some dedicated study!
This book helped me along with 7sage!

What I did was start small to get my feet wet, discovered my weaknesses and went from there. Even 10 hours a week will make a difference, with seven months until your test I think you could make some strides with 10 hours or so a week, the challenge is to not overdo it or get burnout before then. I work full-time with a side gig on the weekends. I managed to study several times a week and I penciled in rest days. My diagnostic was terrible (129) ended up PTing the high 160s with three months of studying. I also was sick the two weeks leading up to the January test.

@dutchiebrown992 wow!! what kind of accommodation would i need to get more time.
There are various reasons in which you may qualify for accommodations. Sadly for the January LSAT it is too late to submit an accommodation request but I put the link down here for you, just as an FYI.

I'm doing practice sets vs full on PTs up until Friday, I simply no longer have the patience to sit for it after four months of devoted study.

@arianaalemi9875 thanks for confirming. i read somewhere that it was 50mins each section :neutral:
If you have accommodations the timing is more than 35 minutes but if you do not, it is just 35 minutes per section.

One way to bypass paying the additional $100 is to apply and be approved for a fee waiver through LSAC. They will include the LSAT Prep Plus along with your fee waiver.

I took down all my notes and files, they hang right above my work space. I plan on covering my tv, everything is put away in my storage closet just in case. I have triple monitors and I plan on covering those with a sheet/blanket as well.

I completed the written portion yesterday, it was pretty simple. Just remember the basics for writing, keep your argument organized and make sure it makes sense. Good luck yall

If you request it under accommodations it is allowed.

You are supposed to go into LSAC and click the link to launch the writing sample.
Click on LSAT Writing - scroll to the bottom of the page and you should see it.

Everyone's different... some people get good outcomes just piling on PT after PT. I think that's kind of like brute forcing a score increase just by sheer volume of exposure... not nearly the most efficient. In my opinion,1 a week is the sweet spot, 2 a week is doable, and 3 is probably too much. Quality of review is far more important. You just have to try it out and see what works for you.
Once a week is fine for me, I find that when I do two, I have trouble focusing and get burnt out.
I do however make sure to study for at least 2-3 hours four times a week to keep things fresh in my mind until the January LSAT.

Friendly suggestion, perhaps taking a bit of a break may help. Coming back to see things with a fresh set of eyes. When I get stuck I make myself take a break 24-48 hours and come back rested and I seem to perform better.

I usually go outside and go for a walk, listen to music or watch a favorite tv show and enjoy a snack or tea.

I think moving back in is difficult for some (like me) but, I plan to move back in with my parents for 5-6 months to save more money before I head off to school. I would think about the long term situation concerning finances and what is best for your situation, you know yourself the best :smile:

I'm terrible at testing, mine was 129 when I started mid-October I've been ranging from 164-167 I plan to sit for the January LSAT my goal score is 170. I've studied consistently with one test per week. Don't give up, you can do it!!
For UMN I also followed the same process. I received an email from the director of admissions on 4/19/21 and had a phone call gauging my seriousness cycle process, discussion of scholarship amounts from other schools I placed seat deposits. On 4/22/21 I received an email and call with a scholarship offer and seat. From my understanding, UMN is currently full and holding with their seat deposits. I applied and was complete late January.
