I'm prefilling my apps cuz i still have to have someone look over my personal statement and I've decided to retake the lsat in November b/c jd next's accommodations process was annoying and lsac already approved them.

I’m a non-traditional student working full time. One mistake I made was constantly switching between prep materials. I used The Loophole, PowerScore, LSAT Demon, and 7Sage at different points, and I think switching approaches slowed me down. I also learn better by doing than by reading, and I realized too late that I was spending way too much time reading about how to approach the LSAT instead of actually doing questions and learning from my mistakes. Toward the end of my prep, things finally started clicking, which honestly made me wish I had picked one method earlier and stuck with it. I think all the flip-flopping contributed to my 135. My biggest advice would be to figure out how you learn best and build your prep around that instead of trying every resource people recommend.

@Laurenms3935 I appreciate the advice, and I'm glad that approach worked well for you. I also take medication and regularly see my psychiatrist, and I studied consistently whenever my schedule allowed. I'm just not interested in continuing LSAT prep or retaking it right now. I'm moving forward with JD-Next and my application, and if this cycle doesn't work out, I'll reassess my options then.

@GManToGradSchool Thank you for your confidence. I work full-time while also managing bipolar disorder. I also tried to study during my downtime whenever I could.

I got a 135 and I'm not retaking it. I'm doing JD-Next to supplement.
