Approximately how long should it take to complete the curriculum with a full time job?

  I have this same question. I read on an older post that you shouldn't necessarily do all the problem sets, and that in fact you might want to save some of the problem sets for drilling later on. So now what I'm trying to do is resolving some of the first problem sets that are the easiest ones, then a few of the middle ones which usually have medium difficulty, and a few of the last ones which are typically the hardest ones. But I still feel like I'm moving at an incredibly slow pace. For reference, I study between 3-4 hrs a day, 6 days a week (also work full time but had the flexibility to change my schedule to best fit my study schedule). I'm particularly worried about how time-consuming foolproofing LG will be.

  I work full time and was able to get through 90% of the core curriculum in a little under 2 months. That being all the videos, all of the LR problem sets, almost all the LG problem sets, and a quarter of the RC problem sets Though there is the caveat that I had lot of downtime at work the first month. That being said, you don't want to rush through just for the sake of finishing it by your exam date. You want to take as much time as you need in order to fully reap the benefits of the course.

  I started going through 7sage in November 2020, and I'm 37% of the way through the core curriculum. I didn't go in order (I started with logic games, then moved on to logical reasoning and reading comprehension), and did a lot of drilling that wasn't in the CC. I've probably taken longer on the CC than a lot of people, but I tried to tailor my studying to my needs, and it's paid off. I focused a lot on drilling and foolproofing. I'm not done with the CC but I'm happy with the improvements in my score so far.

  Hello! I am also working full time and I am shooting for the August/ October LSAT. I started studying late March and I am about 60% done with the CC. I do not do every problem set, instead I just to the odd numbered problem sets and I save the even numbered ones for a later time (my hope is that when I start taking practice tests, I will drill the question types that I need some help in with these undone problem sets).

  I will say that it was difficult to find a study schedule that worked for me and found myself trying to study the way other people had suggested. This obviously did not work for me and honestly was pretty frustrating. Once you find what truly works for you, I promise you the CC will seem a lot more approachable. I study about 3-4 hours M-R and about 7 hours on weekends. If you need a study buddy or some support feel free to PM me, working full time and studying for this test is a dooooozy.
