  I dont have an exact schedule i used(now scoring around 170 on pts)but I would say the most important things are consistency and proper use of time, if you have engagements that prevent studying a ton everyday just make sure you're at least learning something new or practicing something each day so your brain builds upon itself and you dont lose the progress you've gained(breaks are still allowed obv but at least i found you should try not to take longer breaks)

  also it helps to go for 100% understanding on whatever you do practice, for example dont stop looking at a question you got wrong or dont get 100% until you can say and truly understand why what you thought is wrong and why the right answer is right.

  also also make sure you understand the general logic or theme underlying the question, especially for LR questions because if you cant apply what you learned later it loses a lot of its usefulness

  Regarding the study schedule, if you've already done the core curriculum, I wouldn't do any more than one PT a week. Do that PT one day and then BR it that day and maybe into the next day and then spend the rest of the week working on things the analytics pick up on you being weaker on.

  Although I don't have a child and we all operate differently, I'm working full time as well M-F with the weekend off and my current study block is studying after work up until I begin winding down for bed. I actively decompress usually for an hour or less so my mind is ready to focus on learning/reviewing. If I have some downtime at work, I'll do some studying/drilling as well (this might not be the case for a lot of individuals) however, if you are able to get some time in when you can, go ahead.

  I take a PT on Saturday and sometimes I BR that day or Sunday and try to understand why I'm missing certain questions. Sometimes to get more PT in during the week, I'll take a PT section a day vs the full thing.

  this LSAT process has taught me various aspects of time management and positively utilizing the amount of time I have without disregarding my faith, physical and mental health.
  hope this helps in anyway!!
