Moms studying for the LSAT?

Are there any other working moms out there who are studying for the LSAT? I truly hope I am not the only one!

I wanted to make a groupme where working moms can support each other through the process of going through the core curriculum and preparing for the LSAT.

Message me if you want to join the groupme. I truly hope I am not alone in this seemingly crazy, impossible pursuit!

Thank you all! Good luck to you with your studies!

    Me! I have a 15 year old daughter. I'm actually at work right now. Clearly, this company is lucky to have me.

    @JDream2020 - Props for taking the LSAT at 31 weeks. I can't imagine trying to get through logic games with all that kicking and poking! Maybe don't drink anything sugary before the test :smiley:

    I am a single Mom with a five year and work full time. Some advise that I would give to other Moms studying part time/ working is just to expect your journey to take a little longer from the beginning ( especially if you are looking for a 160 + score). I have been studying over two years now and would have laughed if someone had told me it was going to take this long. But the combination of being a parent, having been out of school for awhile and working has made this a significantly slower process than I would have ever anticipated. Try to make whatever studying you are doing as high quality as you can and be creative! Pre Covid I commuted to work so I listened to LSAT podcasts on my way to and from. Sometimes I would put together a short practice set or would BR part of a PT on lunch. Another thing people can do in limited amount of time is to answer requests for help on the discussion board. It is one thing to be able to answer a question correctly but it is another to be able to teach it to someone. Teachers average 6 points higher on the LSAT. While we can’t all be teachers, the majority of parents already have the skills of being able to simplify and break down concepts like we do with kids and this is a good skill to try to develop for LSAT.

    I would definitely be interested in joining the group. I am a mom of a 6 month old, 4 year old, and 8 year old. In between working from home full time, doing learning distance with the 2 older ones and introducing new solids to the infant -- with support from the hubby too but I can totally use some discussion as it relates to crushing LSAT and balancing work/life at the same time. :smile:
