hey everyone! I wanted to come back to this discussion group and get advice on something that's been on the back of my mind for the past few months, which is the struggle to juggle applying to law schools when I have yet to take the LSAT. I was planning to take the LSAT this December, 2017 but I have been having anxiety as to whether I can hit my target school LSAT median for my desired law schools.

Would you say it's the norm that people take the LSAT first and THEN apply or is it just as normal to apply then take the LSAT. There's just something in my gut that says to take the LSAT, do my absolute best, and the recalculate my game plan on which law schools to apply to then. I thought I'd get your guys' advice, thank you!

Is it an ok technique when you're running low on time to use process of elimination to get to the right answer choice? For this question, for instance, I was spending too much time analyzing the stimulus that I then shifted my attention to dissect how the mc questions differed in their language use of language, I then got to E. Is this an ok technique?

I just wanted to say thank you so incredibly much for all your comments everyone! They have all been so helpful. I hope we all get into our top law school of choice (actually tho) :)

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ (and everyone else I'm unable to tag)

Could I upgrade from my Starter packet to this Ultimate deal and pay the subtracted cost?

I would like to join as well please! :)

@ @ Thank you both so incredibly much for your responses, I appreciate it! Do you think it's a good idea to memorize some of the questions? I've been thinking of doing that for LRs at least, to memorize how JY goes about approaching the stimulus/getting the correct answer choice.

@ thank you so much for your help! I was planning to take the exam in December, but am feeling overwhelmed with how little I am able to practice in the evenings. That's interesting, so you went straight to LG games. Don't certain sections of the CC in the beginning help to enhance your understanding of LG though ? I would agree to work at LG because that was my greatest weakness on my diagnostic.

@ great advice, thank you. Can I ask when you say "drills" are these questions from the CC that you re-practice? I guess I'm a bit confused on what drills are?

I guess I'm just worried whatever I study, it won't be good enough for the next day! It's hard to tell if I'm studying as efficiently as possible.

@ thank you so much for your post! You do this everyday?

I forgot to add, that one of my issues though is creating an efficient study plan while working 40+ hours a week. I leave home at 8AM and return home at 6PM. So, I'm not sure how people would work on this type of schedule?

I was down between choosing AC A/B and ultimately chose B because I thought you had to assume the reasoning JY explained, and so I thought to myself it'd be safer to chose A. I understand the assumption made and why B isn't correct, but the assumption required is exactly what I thought we should be training our minds to avoid.
