Hitting the Restart Button

Hi guys. Looking for some friendly advice.

I've studied off and on for about a year now. My last time studying was about 5 months ago. I am 100% committed to writing and plan on taking the June LSAT.

I've gone through most of the curriculum with 7sage. I still have a bit more Reading Comprehension and I haven't really touched Logic Games yet.

How should I go about starting to study again?

Should I start with Reading Comprehension and then move to Logic Games and end with reviewing Logical Reasoning? I am planning to go over all of the 7sage material again.

I am working 2 jobs right now - about 50 hours a week - so time is precious. I am studying a couple hours a night during the week and spending more time on the weekends studying.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I completed my undergraduate degree in 2013 and completed my college degree in 2014. I'm a licensed paralegal currently working in a law firm as an assistant. I originally had the plan of going to law school right after University, but life happened, unfortunately. I am currently studying to write the LSAT (for the millionth time) and keep telling myself there is no rush. There's nothing wrong with getting work experience before entering law school, especially if it's within the legal field. Also gives you an opportunity to get more volunteer experience. And finally, it gives you a chance to save up some money before heading back to school.

I'm likely going to apply for 2018. Happy decision making!

Studying at Work

I currently work at a law firm as an assistant and have got the go ahead from my boss to study when I am not busy at work (other than my lunch hour).

Most of my free time has been spent researching schools, personal statements, tips, etc. but I'm hoping I can get some studying in as well. I am currently only using 7sage. I have tried to put my headphones in and watch some videos but find I can't absorb anything.

I thought about bringing one of my many LSAT prep books but should I be mixing 7sage and say for instance, Kaplan? Any recommendations for other brands which have similar teaching methods to 7sage?

For those of you who have full-time jobs, do you study while you are at work? Any tips?

I'm planning to write for September 2016. I have 2 jobs so I work about 55 hours a week. I've just started studying 20 hours a week. I've been studying off and on for the last couple years but finally decided to take the plunge and write.

Thanks in advance!

Ugh. I feel your pain too.

I work a 9-5 job Monday-Friday as a legal assistant and then bartend twice a week. So some nights I'm working an 18 hour day or on the weekends I'll work 5pm to 3am so my sleep schedule gets messed up.

I'm writing in September and I'm going to make an effort to study two nights out of the week for 3-4 hours and then commit to at least 6 hours a day on the weekend. Good bye social life! But worth it right?
