After studying The Trainer, as well as here at 7Sage. I realized that there really is much to grasp than what appears on the surface. Learning the fundamentals and building one's skills is vital to success. My original goal was to take the December LSAT, although I had from the start a four month prep period, I don't feel I can master these skills yet. (I need a 165+) In addition, I want to participate in an internship to add to my law school application.
My Question IS: How should I prepare to take the LSAT a year from now? I don't want to burn myself out, but at the same time not take things too slowly. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also any tips to improve my resume/law school application would be great!

I went through the Trainer (using 2 different 16-week study schedules) twice. Then I worked on the 7sage curriculum. Then I took a lot (a lot) of PT's. I started PT'ing in March—1 or 2 a week until June when I switched to 3-a-week. Back to 2 or 3 a week now with some curriculum mixed in just to double cover bases and because I find it relaxing.
My diagnostic was a 152 and I was steadily in the 165+ range by, say, March or April.
I'm now in the finishing touches/maintenance phase and I'm putting in 10-20 hours per week, taking PTs and BRing throughly.
If @nicole.hopkins were here, she'd say, "something something..the best method is low and slow like good Texas BBQ... something something..."
Feb—May 2015, about 35-40 hours/week
June—present ... Let's say 20-25 hours/week. Building in longer multi-day breaks. About to take a big break. Coping.
You guys are really sweet
