@sandydanadurst said: my test scores were hitting my target and now they are lower than they've ever been. no idea what's going on.freaking out!! Despite what you may think, take a break. Even if you don't do any more PTs, the mental break …

@"evan.006" said: How is the writing portion administered? My initial thought was over ProctorU, same as the real LSAT, but we didn't sign up for any test dates/times for the writing portion. But I know that there is still a video and time req…

Thank you! Good luck to all the others taking June! I'm also planning on taking LSAT Writing sometime this week (prob 3-4 days prior to my scheduled test). I'm calming myself down by knowing that it's unscored and I've had a lot of practice verba…

Good luck! I took a week off work prior to the LSAT date to chill out and relax. I've been hitting my goal score on the last 5-6 PTs so I haven't been doing much other than 1-2 PTs a week. I'm thinking of scheduling the LSAT Written in that week …

I just did a PT in the 70s (the flower bouquet one) which JY suggested that one of the main ways to figure out if a Chart is better is whether the game pieces can repeat. Can repeat = Use chart

@mahmedani said: 3) Finally, it may be a faux pas, but I typically don't do the full BR in one sitting; if I do, it's always on the day after, on a weekend. I'm a full time student and I don't have the time during the academic term to spend …

@"Burt Reynolds" said: If you can squeeze it in, I would recommend reading the Loophole in Logical Reasoning by Ellen Cassidy. It really helped me see the similarities between all of the question types. It's also full of great advice and helpf…

@"tkappen.neppak" said: Hey there! I am in a similar situation as you and with a similar timeline. I am also doing a full time job and have been studying since Jan as well. I haven't really done any PT tests yet. I am focused on fool proofing …

@sarakimmel said: Agreed with the other posters. I read Loophole prior to finding 7Sage and she advocates reading the Stimulus first. It wasn't until my tutor convinced me to try reading the Question Stem first that I switched. It took some ge…

@Burden_of_Floof said: I'm stopping and fool proofing each game before moving on, in a sense. I have a spreadsheet going with all of the games done thus far with notes, the last time I took it, and whether or not my last timed run fell within …

So should we concentrate on the 60s and higher PTs first rather than starting in the 30s as per the study schedule?

I'm interested too for either July or Aug. Did some light studying in the past (was looking at it a few years ago) but I'm more interested in getting a study plan together that isn't 34 hrs/wk as suggested by this site (not happening with FT work!)…

@rmmccoy94 said: You have like 7 months, you definitely do NOT need to be studying 35 hours/week. That's 5 hours a day and highly unrealistic even for someone not working full time to maintain from the end of January until August. Try to set a…

Nice! Due to work, I'll have to take a fair few 1-week breaks (writing in June) so I'm glad that it's not guaranteed to hurt my exam prep.

I'll echo all the others and say 23 isn't too old. However, I'd suggest to get a job, travel (if you have money) and then get back into study mode for the LSAT in a year. Or, work for 5+ years (or whatever Mature Student category is in that school…

Bumped as I have a similar question, but not as high stats. Been out of school 14 years, worked/travelled around the world with the federal government and still doing so, prob to the detriment of my LSAT studying! I'd be surprised if I got 170 or …

I'll be taking my LSAT at 36. Granted, what my plan for law school/career is a little different so I don't think I'm too old to do this (the folks I've talked to that did what I'm planning on doing all went to law school in their mid-30s/early-40s)…

I probably have one of the strangest reasons to write the LSAT. I'm in the Canadian military. About a dozen years ago, a girlfriend of a friend was preparing to write it and I had got it in my head that if she was going to do it, I'd take a look a…
