I agree with @"Alex Divine" . I'm registered for February, my PT average is about what I need to get into all except my reach school. I figure, if I don't write high enough to get a decent shot at getting into my reach school, I'll retake in eithe…

Is it possible that you could find an at home workout that you enjoy? When I'm crunched for time, I resort to dumbbell and body weight circuits at home. I don't enjoy doing that as much as hitting the gym, but it helps keep me in that routine with …

From the last two months here are the ones that I have experienced. See my LR scores improve from -7/-8 per section to consistently -3/-4 per section with my BR LR sections consistently being -1/-2. Improvements in my LG timing and doing a bette…

@lawschoolstuff16 said: is this straight studying? During each of the 90min blocks, it is. I set a timer on my phone, and go to it until the timer goes off. Same deal for the breaks, but sometimes I will just use an episode (22-30ish mins) of so…

I agree with JustDolt and Alex Devine. Burn out can sneak up on you. On my heavy study days, I tend to not study for longer than 90mins at a stretch unless if I am doing a timed PT. For me, it helps to break the time into segments throughout the …

I'm planning on wearing my regular clothes. I tend to dress in layers since I am almost always cold. So, it will be long pants, a t-shirt, and a flannel shirt. The flannel keeps me warm enough for if the room is cold (below 70), yet if they have …

I can't listen to music when I'm studying unless if I'm trying to simulate being distracted while testing. I play music for a living, so unless if I can tune it out, I find that I will start to focus on the music rather than what I am working on.

@desire2learn said: There are so many students who want to study in a legit fashion but would obviously prefer to do it in a convenient fashion (i.e. not hunting all over the internet to buy "rare" PTs, etc.) and reasonable costs. I wish LSAC would…

If you're looking to reuse the ones you currently own for retakes, why not just make copies or create the PDF's yourself? I make copies of the LG section before I take any test, so I can use it for drilling later.

I use something called Liquid Caffeine. It is just like the name says, liquid caffeine. If you buy the bottles with pumps, each pump is 83mg. My morning caffeine/energy drink is 2 pumps liquid caffeine, a dropper of B-Vitamin Complex, and then Mi…

I'm planning on leaving everything except for the plastic bag stuff in my car. If you want to leave the rest at the hotel, I'd check before booking if they can hold luggage for you until a certain time (e.g. after the test). Most of the hotels I h…

I'm planning on staying at a hotel the night before the February test. The test center that I'm planning on registering for is 30ish minutes away from my place, at least according to Google Maps. My reasoning is mostly due to the variables at play…

I have stopped studying for 4-6 weeks on two occasions so far. Each time before the break, I was PT'ing at 159-160, and when I returned, I was PT'ing at 153-155. The area that dropped off the most for me was Logic Games. A month after resuming st…

I'm not sure if there are any other military, or overseas voters on this site, but a beneficial resource is https://www.fvap.gov/ . The site is a one stop shop for absentee voting. The easiest example I can think of is myself. Despite being stati…

I'm guessing that you're hunching your neck and shoulders forward. That can lead to pain in your neck and traps. Try sitting up straight/using better posture. I agree with Alex about getting up every half hour or so, I tend to get up once an hou…

@tanes256 , if you're already using headphones at work, could you treat the curriculum like an audio book? I don't know how effective it would be, but it would be something. My schedule sounds worse than it is. The busy/touring season is brutal…

@"Alex Divine" said: Yeah, it's certainly a grind, but I think it forces us to be more efficient with our time. I can't agree with this statement any more than I currently do. I can't study at work anytime besides my lunch break, so I have found…

I'd buy the hard copy from Amazon and spend some quality time with a scanner or copier. For the tests used in the curriculum, I have been making copies of the LG and RC sections prior to completing so that I will have clean copies to use for drilli…

More often than not, I have either a protein shake or a granola bar paired with a home made energy drink. I buy this stuff called Liquid Caffeine, so I mix 160mg caffeine with a dropper of B-Vitamin Complex and some Mio for flavor. My plan for the…

I work full time with a fairly unpredictable schedule (military musician), am completing undergrad via distance education, and am studying for the LSAT. My highest PT score so far 162. My target score for most of the schools on my list is 160-164.…
