Good luck with your studies! Work through the CC at a pace that allows you to absorb the information. You should really strive to become fluent with conditional logic and when you read LR stimuli get in the habit of identifying the conclusion and support structure for the conclusion. Doing a little bit of work every day is better than cramming. Lastly, stay involved here on the forums! There are a lot of people who are willing to help and commenting on questions in the CC and on practice tests will help you improve.
awesome thanks so much!! appreciate the support

Hey. You’re in the same shoes I am. I take it September and after I finished the CC my first PT was 160 (diagnostic was 144). It’s doable but you need to make sure that you’re not overworking yourself burning yourself out.i study 5 hours a day (min) like you!
The best tip to help burnout for me at least, is to keep my nights clear. Finish up before dinner and then spend the rest of the night winding down and relaxing a bit. Watch a movie, take a break. Also, take a break in the middle of your study sessions to grab a snack and cool off for a bit. Burn out is real.
Focus on the lessons. Drill whatever section you’re weak on. You have time. And you CAN do this. Never forget that you can do this and it will be okay.
Your first practice exam after completing the CC won’t necessarily be the score you want, but do not be discouraged. Use that as a way to see what you missed and drill those sections. If you ever need a study buddy, I’m here!
Study groups and BR calls are incredible tools! Use them to your advantage.
Best of luck. Never forgot that you can do this!
thank you so much that was very encouraging!! i would love to be study buddies if you'd like :)
hi guys! so i'm a rising senior at boston university (gpa: 3.33) and i had done some review on here since last summer, but i officially started studying properly the beginning of this week to sit the september test. i have the ultimate+ and i'm trying to get through the core curriculum so i can get as much practice and PTs as i can to be ready by then. i know JY and all of you say that take the lsat when you're ready and not plan around an lsat date, but i have 4 months of absolutely nothing to do but to study so i was hoping i'd be ready by september. i'm thinking of doing 25 hours a week would be good (around 5 hours a day, 6 times per week), and i'm hoping to be done with the CC by the end of june (the CC is extremely long so i have no idea how long it would take me to finish and it's really worrying me), and i'd have around 2.5 months to do PTs. do you guys think that would be doable? i did extremely bad on the diagnostic (137) so i am extremely discouraged, but i am very motivated. i want to get to 170 at some point. i know some of you are gonna say that it's a reach and that i can't improve by that much, but i was not at the best mental state when i took the diagnostic so i don't think it's what i would have scored at my best potential. what way do you guys suggest i study or split my time to reach my goal? september lsat is non-negotiable because i'm applying in the fall and i'm doing ED to northwestern. i reckon that 4 months of only LSAT studying should suffice, no? i don't work or anything this summer. any advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated! i'm really anxious about the whole thing, like i'm getting a daily anxiety attack thinking about studying and finishing on time reaching my goal. i know this is extremely lengthy so i apologize, i just needed to rant and get this off my chest, and if you made it this far into the post i thank you and any words of wisdom from you would go a long way. thanks guys!
Okay so I'm kind of confused because JY said that the main point/conclusion should not include information from the premise, but here, it does since it mentions estrogen, and it's not mentioned in the conclusion itself, it just says that the first hypothesis is wrong; so I did have some trouble getting to the right answer. Would someone be able to help me out?
so i'm a junior in college and i'm going home for the summer and just devoting my time to studying for the LSAT (full time). so i was wondering what the best way to study. like should i study 35-40 hours a week? or take my time getting through the core curriculum and then do practice tests? i'm not sure how to plan my schedule to finish on time and have the most effective way of studying (i did really bad on my diagnostic i got in the 130s so i have a lot of work to do). but yeah if anyone could help me figure out the best way to study that would be great!
I know GW and Northwestern offer full rides if you're admitted Early Decision!
