I am currently studying for the October 2021 LSAT and I'm not that far through the course. According to my study schedule, I should be studying 54 hours a week. I am a full time undergrad student and I have a job. Looking at the study schedule, it says that one LSAT Prep test takes 12 hours. I understand that that includes the BR time and reviewing answers. My question is, does it really take a full 12 hours to complete a full test and do the BR and review it completely? Does it take more or less? How many Prep tests can I realistically do in one week?

Yes you can! its helpful in some occasions, I wouldn't say its that life changing though, but definitely use it!
Thank you all for the helpful input. Since my post, I have decided to go ahead and start PT's and I'm doing some CC here and there with spare time. I took 3 PT's in the last 5 days and I am averaging 161-162, and managed to get a 172 BR once. I would like to go for 167+ which I know might be difficult but I will keep taking as many PT's as I can before the June test. I know I will most likely end up taking the August test as well to try and get an even higher score with an extra 2 months of studying. I am pushing myself this much because I would like to apply as soon as applications open on September 1st to get as high of chance of acceptance as I can! Any further input would be appreciated!
Yes you are correct, also, F and V might not be "in" at all, which also means that G and W can be anywhere.
I would love to join!
I am signed up to take the June LSAT and I am behind on my course. I am currently 77% of the way through the CC meaning that I have 50 hours left to finish it. I have not done any PT's since my diagnostic. I have about a month until my test. Do I push through the 50 hours of CC or do I jump into PT's and do that for the next month?
Taking the June LSAT this Saturday. I have been taking as many tests as I can recently, taking PT 92 today and getting my highest score. I have 2 more full days before test day. What do y'all suggest one does in these upcoming days? I was planning on taking another PT tomorrow and then taking a break the day before the test. I am starting to think I should not take another PT and keep my confidence up with the one I took today. I do know that there is room for improvement for my PT scores, so should I try to maximize that before test day, or is it too close to make any progress?
Also, what kind of advice would you give for test day? My test is at 1pm, so what would you recommend I do that morning?
All future LSAT's are staying online, at least for the next year, and probably forever would be my guess. I believe there is a way where you can take it on a paper, but it would still be proctored online.
Interested!
I would say prioritize the LSAT studies above all else since it is the main part of the application. That "blank" time on the resume could be the time you took off to study for this test. From what I've heard from admissions staff, that is a valid reason to have a "blank" on your resume. If you can fit it in, it won't hurt to get some work experience for a few months. Unless you really want to apply on the first day the applications open, you should have plenty of time to get that score much higher. If you still get your application in before November, you are in good shape. A 155 diagnostic is pretty good! Power through that curriculum and start PT's and see where you're at. Then, you'll be able to evaluate where you are really. This also completely depends on what you're aiming for. Good luck!
