This isn't scientific or exact, but as an older person studying for the LSAT, I would like to share my own experience. I started studying for the LSAT around the age of 30 full time (4-6hrs per day x 4 days a week) and after about year I didn't feel…

Focus on timing, being able to identify parts of an argument, and eliminating wrong answers. Being able to put all these skills together and applying them efficiently is how you start to master LR.

Retake. If you're not an older prospective law school applicant and/or don't have responsibilities that may prevent you from attending altogether, take another 8 months to a year to study, law school isn't going anywhere. The most important thing is…

Don't take too many PTs, you don't want to run out of practice tests, that can be a significant problem. Also, take the LSAT when you're ready and scoring above, at, or near your target score. The LSAT isn't going anywhere. Be patient and apply your…

I'm sad to see it go too. It was my strongest section throughout my prep and at times could be fun, compared to the other sections. Goodbye LG, we'll never forget you.
-
One of my frustrations at the moment is that I've been studying for more than a year and I've dedicated a lot of hours to LG and if I don't do well on LG or on the entire PT itself, all that work and time dedicated to that section goes down the drai…

Do well on the LSAT (165 and above) and you've got a decent shot at a school in the 25 to 50 rank. Now, another option would be to improve your softs: work for a year or two, volunteer for an extended period, intern/clerk in a law related position, …

Law school isn't going anywhere, so unless you have a personal reason why you absolutely need to attend law school as soon as possible, I'd suggest you take your time, retake, and get a solid score.
-
Law school isn't going anywhere: do well in college, get a high GPA, find what you want to pursue as a career, have a great college experience. After you graduate, get some experience in the legal field and then start studying for the LSAT. Whether …

@lsat_sus said: @whatsmyname I realized I glossed that question initially sorry fam. And my tutor mainly taught me how to cross off wrong answers. We do the whole stem-stim-AC process and practice skimming the AC's real quick in like 8-10 sec…

Don't dwell on it too much, happens all the time. Some ppl talk a lot about studying together and joining you on a journey to reach a high LSAT score and when you text/call them to start organizing study sessions, they respond a few times and then y…

I clerked for the Los Angeles' DA Office simply by contacting them and asking them if I could volunteer b4 going to law school. Luckily, they have a community volunteer opportunity where you literally shadow DA's in their day to day jobs and do a va…

I do about 5 hrs a day (3hrs of LR or LG + 2hrs of RC), 5 days a week. That's been my study schedule for the last 14 months and it's worked out fine. No burnout yet. In the short term, I think you can get away with studying 6 days a week, but if you…

Hey, Don't be so hard on yourself. The LSAT is extremely difficult and the writers make it so in order to weed out the strong from the weak. You have to keep at it. Don't get discouraged. I've been studying full time since late 2018 and I'm still n…

Hey, Also in Orange County and also planning on taking the test early next year. I'm currently in the last stages of learning/prepping and will begin to take PTs pretty soon, but I always have questions and can answer questions if you have any.

Congratulations on getting to Yale. Fantastic job! Did you visit Yale before accepting or was it always your goal to get there? And if you visited, what was your trip like? I wanted to ask you about drilling. I've been drilling games for a few year…

Well, you definitely want to read a lot every day, just so that you familiarize yourself with reading dense and challenging material. In addition, you also have to hone RC skills that are unique to the LSAT (understanding structure, referential phra…

Great stuff, very happy for you!!

Checking in. I'm 34 and have been preparing for the LSAT part time for the 4 years, it wasn't until late 2018 that I quit my job and started studying full time. I worked in the legal sector (law clerk/legal assistant) for a few years and after some …

Congratulations, hell of a job!

@fycw2068 If you don't mind me asking, what's your average time on a passage where you go -1? I've been trying to improve on RC as well and even though I'm also at -1 or -2 for a passage, my time is still at about 9 or 9:30 per passage. That's why …

Hi, I'm also studying in Orange, at Chapman U. Will you be taking the LSAT this month or are you still studying? If you're still studying, let me know if you're still interested in a study buddy. I just started 7sage but have been independently stud…
