Glitch in Drill ACs

For the past two drills, every time I select an answer choice for the last question in the drill set, it doesn't save. So when I go to Blind Review, it appears as unanswered. #help

I'm in the same boat! I'm a product manager working 40 hours a week and it's been admittedly tough maintaining the energy to stay consistent with studying. I try to study ~2-3 hours a day by sneaking in studying - some video explanations, a problem set here and there etc. - while at work. And then I study after work and on weekends. I find it easiest to study after work when I WFH as I have most energy then when commuting isn't a factor.

Something I've learned is it's better to not study at all rather than study when you're tired / drained. It's just been a waste of resources for me to study when I'm unfocused. Better to take a break and return later.

If you have the flexibility, I would suggest breaking up your work as a student and intersperse it with LSAT study. As in, if you're hyper productive 10am to noon, dedicate that window of time to the LSAT, and then reallocate those 2 hours for LA work to some other point in the day.

It's exhausting, I admit. But you're not alone :)

I feel the same way. I've plateaued in the mid 160s after scoring high 160s immediately after completing the core curriculum. I can't help feeling like I've regressed despite hundreds of hours of studying. I've never felt more discouraged and unmotivated. It feels like nothing I'm doing is breaking through the curve. I will address one question type, and then another problem arises. RC remains the most unpredictable for me as nothing I've tried has improved my score there.

Hi! Is this your first time taking the exam? From my understanding, if it's your first exam on record then it matter less if this June score is the BEST you can do, and matters more if the next time you take the exam that there's an improvement.

If you have a score on record already and think there's a chance you won't improve (or score worse) then I would definitely reschedule. Otherwise, if it's your first test on record, I wouldn't cancel a score for the sole reason of you think you can do better. 1) Showing improvement over time is good 2) Having a cancelled score on record isn't ideal and should only be invoked if there was a drop in improvement 3) You may not actually do better on future tests and end up cancelling your best score

If you have the financial means to reschedule for a later test date, and your studying would be improved in the meantime (i.e. you're able to maintain studying cadence, dedicate sufficient time to make it worthwhile), then I see this as the best option. Just push it back and give yourself more time without having an unnecessary cancellation on record.

TLDR: reschedule for later; don't cancel a first-attempt score :)
