So I've finally started my long, arduous journey towards studying for the LSAT. Although it is tough with my son and I often think of how I had more energy and free time during my undergrad days, I am sticking to my guns and getting a little done each day. I started with LSAT trainer like many of you suggested and I plan to follow up with a 7sage course after I complete it. I am aiming to take the LSAT December 2015 (February 2016 the very latest). Feel free to comment if you too are planning on taking the exam at the same time.
Anyway, I find it difficult to complete full PT's mainly because I am always interrupted by something my son is doing and if it isn't that I start late (like 10 pm at night) when he is sleeping and by that time I am too tired to finish the entire thing. Does anyone practice them by doing split timed sections half and half? I know it isn't the ideal way to practice but it seems like it the only way I would get a full PT done. In the weeks before the exam, I will probably just go to the library (provided that I have a babysitter) so that I can get the full experience. And blind reviewing on the same day? Lol. Forget about it! Between my son waking up, feeding him, getting him to go back to sleep, etc it's a lost cause. Anyone take the exam and blind review the next day? Any suggestions would be great!

If you are a single parent, I would get a baby-sitter for a half-day on one or two days off a week for PT time. I had to do this on a few occasions, but it was worth it. I work full time and completed the 7Sage Ultimate between February and "time now" for the June LSAT. It worked, but I have a two-week vacation before the test to help it do so.
I think the bottom line is to try to make full 4- and 5-section PTs happen, and if that is not possible, try to do 3 sections followed by an elongated break before finishing the last 1 or 2 if necessary. BR on another day.
