I would say that every second of every minute you can possibly study, counts. They don't have to be hard, insufferable minutes and seconds but they do have to be attentive minutes and seconds. You better get yourself back into the game or you are going to miss the boat. Time waits for no lawyer, would-be or otherwise. Believe it now or pay later. Do you want to live in a van down by the river? The five minutes you just wasted writing that comment was an LSAT point you just lost by not practicing a logic game. What if you get the flu in the next two months and you have to take a week off? Use your health now while you still have it.

It's called the FEAR method.

Forget

Ever

Attending a

Respectable law school

If you don't stay on it.

In motorcycling class they tell you to look where you want the bike to go. They tell you this, aside from the obvious reasons, because when it appears you're about to hit an obstacle it's almost impossible to turn your eyes away. Imagine heading straight for a tree at 60 mph and having to look somewhere else. It's very difficult. You get tunnel vision and you panic. You think if you can just keep your eyes on that tree you can avoid it. But that's exactly what makes you smash into it. In those moments you absolutely have to move your eyes and find a path around so you can steer the bike in that direction and drive into another sunny day in the rest of your life.

You have to think beyond the test and find a path so you can relax and not smash destructively into it. Make the test small in your mind and the path big. If you have to you might even imagine a great life without law school. With the discipline and smarts to get a 160 on your practice tests the world will be your oyster, no matter what happens. Plan it out in detail if necessary. Anything to get your mind directly off the obstacle in front you. Then you can negotiate it like a pro and get the score you need.

JY talks so fast on the videos I internalized that pace in spite of myself and I couldn't shake it. This worried me because as a matter of habit I'm not sure learning is happening unless a deep, sub-atomic connection with the material is being made. But I have since come to realize that this stuff will come together without plumbing the depths of consciousness to really ping out on those "aha" moments. Force yourself to do them at JY's pace and they will come together. It doesn't seem like they will, but they will.
