Filing all my tests

Nanchito-1-1

Hey guys,

I've had this thing with making copies of all pts. It's gotten really bad. I've ripped all of the pages from all my 10 Actual books and filed them along with 2 copies of every pt for actual and br. I feel like it's just better to not think about it and have it all there. It's been a long process but im finally finished making copies.

At first I got this for drilling

Then this for future pt's

But it's looking like im going to get this.

Trial and error baby. When im done, I'll recycle it all, or donate it. How are you guys filing?

Nice set up! I use something similar; I have the Bankers brand boxes with manilla folders. I have a few to organize PTS, Drill packets, and completed things. I also have a couple of those accordion style cases, but I haven't found a useful way to implement them as of yet.

I hear you on the copies. I luckily had the .pdfs of the tests, but I printed out 2 of every copy. 1-75. I used up 3 black ink cartridges and at least 5-6 reams of paper, if not more.

Anyways, I like those Bankers boxes just because it is easier to organize and see exactly what you need when you need it. They're also cheap fit a lot more than you'd think!

I'm also probably going to donate all my stuff. I've toyed with the idea of burning it, but I'm not a wasteful person, lol.

@"Alex Divine" lucky you for having the pdfs.

I was going to burn it all until I realized how much i'm actually using, and how much work I put into it.

@nanchito Amen! Next to my desk, in the corner of my bedroom, is just stacks of tests, papers, and LSAT books. I need to re-organize it sometime this week. At least to make it appear neater. lol

=( sneaky ads, manilla folders are separate.

I just need one box, not 10. I have to do more digging.

I love these threads!! when my desk isn't organized I get super anxious and can't do anything until everything is in place. I haven't copied all my PTs just yet but when I do you best believe I'm going to invest in those sorting file boxes.

One box.

@nanchito Hey so I did something different. I bought plastic drawer with three partitions so that gave me some sense of organization: http://www.target.com/p/3-drawer-medium-storage-cart-gray-room-essentials/-/A-50570263?sid=1018S&ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Storage+Organization+Shopping_Brand&adgroup=SC_Storage+Organization&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9008464&lsft=gclid:CIrs85mg8c4CFdJahgod5QgOvQ,gclsrc:aw.ds&gclid=CIrs85mg8c4CFdJahgod5QgOvQ&gclsrc=aw.ds Each section can fill 1-75 preptests. I keep fresh tests in first, things to be reviewed, and drills in the second, and completed ones in third. I found it easier to do it this way. I also moved around quite a bit, so I take the thing and put it in my car, without any issues. This is also cheaper.

The lack of organization was driving me nuts! The box idea is great but I went for a cheaper solution since I had a bunch of old 3 ring notebook/binders. I bought clear sheet protectors really cheap at Wal-mart - but this is the link for Amazons. https://www.amazon.com/Avery-Standard-Weight-Protectors-75530/dp/B000WUVWYG/ref=sr_1_5?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1472843345&sr=1-5&keywords=clear+sheet+protectors

I have Binders for my PT copies. For each section, I have separate binders for Strategy/Notes including Webinar Notes & then Drilling etc. The Master binder has the Forms that I created tracking my analytics and study schedules. So far this has worked for me:)
