@ there are ways to get more time on your lsat sections, if you want to explore those routes.

I have a tendency to value quantity over quality when it comes to...most things. When I started gearing up for the November test about a month ago I thought 40 hours a week should be my standard, but I work a full-time job too. So I've been going to sleep and waking up outrageously early (7PM-3AM). Would I be better served by just studying less and giving myself a social life again? Or is this weakness creeping in?

How many hours in a day can you truly study effectively? I'd love to know what your sweet-spot is

most people that i speak, talk, and listen to (which is a lot) tell me that i should, at least, treat it like a part time job... so about 20-25 hours per week. but also youre taking into account how much time you gave yourself, before your lsat, to learn this material, so it might be more or even less, if you give yourself a whole year to go through everything (for example). BUT to answer your question about, is there such a thing as too much studying?, one hundred percent yes their is and it might leave you burned out which is very very bad.

I've been studying for a while now and while I don't necessarily score as horribly as I did before, I can't seem get past the -7/-8 stage. I've gone through MANY of the LR sections and blind reviewed everything. I also watch a majority of the explanation videos, but even that still doesn't seem to be enough. Any advice please? I need help :/

unfortunately i dont have enough information about your study habits or programs that youre taking.. is your problem that youre not able to finish sections and thus have to guess towards the end or are you having trouble with just the logic of it all?

for example, the June cycle has three days, so id say it is at least two days guaranteed for August. Also, just take into account that the August test will no longer be three sections, the LSAT will go back to four sections moving forward.

Thank you! Do you know if those dates are typically set close to the "starting date"? I found for June they were not but I'm trying to determine the trend so I can plan my work leave accordingly.

the test days are typically saturday, sunday, and monday

son of a bitch, im in!

i would advise against it so that you can be more true to test-day format.
