Is 6 Months Adequate?

I have had an "Ultimate" subscription for two months but am only 30% through the core curriculum as I run a business that requires about 12-14 hours of work, seven days a week.

I am selling part of the business and will now only be required to work around 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. This now gives me way more opportunity for LSAT prep.

I am aiming for October's test. I know there are loads of variables at stake, but is six months generally considered sensible/enough prep time, if I go all guns blazing?

Cold diagnostic was 148, so there is a long way to go!

    While everybody is different and learns at a different pace... 6 months is generally good enough for people to max out their potential.

    Set the target for 6 months and start studying and assess as you go along.

    Here's something else to consider, if you haven't seen it already:

    It talks a lot about timing and other common mistakes students tend to make in their study methodology. :)

    @jamesjentucker - I began studying in February 2014 and took the September/October test. My diagnostic was a little higher than yours, but that could be for any number of reasons on both of our ends. So I think it is possible for you to take the October test and do well based on where you are now. However, definitely heed the advice of JY, Dillon and the other 7sage instructors. You cannot cram. You have to actually learn the skills of the LSAT. Don't get burned out. And definitely do not waste practice tests. Remember, you can always push your test date back if you think that you are not at 100% of your potential yet. That can be frustrating but getting the best LSAT score you can is well worth it.
