Yes, SicSemper, amazing response. I appreciate that you have noticed my alma mater, as well. Thank you guys.

I am taking the Dec LSAT and I have taken the LSAT already. I am almost certain they take the highest score (you can find information regarding this on LSAT blogs). That being said, I would not let my confidence be diminished from a single low score. Even if you take another PT and you score within that same range, I still believe you can be ready in time for the December LSAT (this thought is based on the assumption that you would like to be in the 160-165 range). Focus on drilling your weaknesses and keep pushing. Best of luck.

I will answer your questions here, as well. My schedule will be different than yours but I believe my approach may help you find what is best for you. Tuesdays and Saturdays, I drill old individual sections and review concepts from the course (especially for weaknesses). Thursday I take a fully simulated PT (5 sections = 4 from a recent PT + 1 section from an old PT). I BR that day for as long as I can before my brain gives out on me. This is important because your thought process is fresh in your mind. On Friday, I complete the remainder of the exam using BR and take detailed notes on why answers were right or wrong. After this, I would take a break. This break will be until Saturday when I begin drills again (see above). The days I have left out (Mon, wed, sun) are days I have school and / or work so I do light studying on those days.

As for how many PTs you take per week, this will depend on where you are in your progression and how close you are to your test date.

Again, I usually study at least 6 days a week. However, I usually limit myself to 3 - 4 hours of continuous studying. This is because the actual LSAT length is within that time frame. You may go over this time limit when BR'ing.

I hope this clears things up. Please let me know if you need clarification on any of my points. I am doing this on my phone.

Cheers

I study at least 6 days a week. The example I gave above about taking a PT Thursday was intended to be my situation and my proposed mode of attack. My studying is spread out like this because of summer school and work. Send me an email with answers to the following questions and I can help you set up a PT / Study schedule as well as answer any other questions you may have, if you would like. Otherwise, best of luck.

1. Do you have other obligations / responsibilities other than studying for the LSAT?

2. Have you completed the course?

3. When are you taking the LSAT?

Actually, it makes a bit of sense to do a combination of the two. Do BR for individual sections when drilling in between days of taking full length PTs and after full length PTs, as well. For example, I take a PT on Thursday and BR that day for the full length test (and maybe a little more BR on Friday if my brain is fried), then take a break. Then, on Tuesday and Saturday when I am doing drills (individual sections from old PTs), I BR after each individual section.

AGREE?

Are we hurting ourselves if we wait to finish the entire PT? Or, should we be using BR after each section (LR, LG, RC) for drilling purposes? Both?

JY is not only a LSAT genius, he is a hand model. Zoolander anyone.....

Thank you, Zach. Best of luck.
