If by little activities you mean the drills that JY made himself rather than real LSAT questions, there should be PDFs to those in the curriculum, which you can print. If, however, they're actual LSAT questions, you need to buy the practice tests th…

Never got into Suits (I felt like it was too soap opera-y). I love Damages, but my absolute favorite is Better Call Saul.

@"cashundra.scott-1" 10-minute meditation before studying and taking breaks. I usually take a 5-10 minute break after 50 minutes or an hour to refocus my attention on studying. Also, silencing your phone and keeping your computer off helps avoid dis…

Yes, I would agree with @jdawg113. Your job sounds really interesting and I think it's definitely worth writing about in a PS. However, I don't see how that fits into a DS. I mean, a lot of people have fulfilling/interesting/meaningful jobs, but doe…

@blah170blah the problem with the federal loan forgiveness program is that it only forgives direct loans, not any other kind of student loan (for ex a Perkins loan) and you have to have made 120 loan repayments in order to be eligible. Also, while I…
-
I took a Powerscore course before 7sage and I did it for the exact reason you mentioned, @SUNKIST11; I wanted some external form of motivation/accountability. Turned out to be a huge waste of time and money. Plus there's little flexibility in terms …

For those of us who submitted a PS, when will we be notified whether ours was selected or not?

@Jengibre When I took the LSAT, I had a carton of soy milk and some chocolate. What do you guys think is a healthy/good snack?
-
@emli1000 I don't know if this is directed at me or someone else, but I usually score -0 (-1 if it's hard) in LG. @nicole.hopkins thanks for the invite to your BR group, but I think I'm going to focus on getting through the LSAT Trainer, doing some…
-
@blah170blah ah, you're very lucky. I work full time and it's really slowing down my progress and momentum to study. I only manage to do one PT a week (Saturdays). I guess I should try and maximize the productivity of my weekdays by drilling the que…
-
I think this has been covered by others asking the same question. Basically, you should postpone taking the LSAT. You shouldn't take the test with an attitude of "oh I'll just take it again." You should give it your all and if possible, only take it…
-
When's the deadline?
-
@blah170blah thanks a lot for the advice, I really appreciate it. How do you manage to get through 2-3 PTs per week and also BR each one thoroughly? How many hours a week do you study? Also, do you think it'd be more useful for me to do 2-3 PTs a we…
-
@emli1000 YES, couldn't agree more. Having to retake the LSAT because you rushed yourself/weren't 100% ready totally sucks. Pushing yourself to re-start the rigorous study schedule after a less than satisfactory score is even worse. I was going to r…
-
I def wouldn't recommend taking more than 3 a week. If you're taking 5 PTs a week with your current class load, I don't see how you could possibly thoroughly BR each PT and also carefully watch all the explanation videos. And if you're not thoroughl…
-
Lol I *wish* I were stuck in the 170-172 range! Still stuck in the upper 160s What'd you guys do to make it to 170+?
-
I'm basically in the same situation as you and would recommend that you wait to take it in October. Not only will you have a greater mastery of the material after having studied more intensively over the summer, but you'll probably have more confide…
-
Agreed, I would recommend postponing since the June test is coming up. An extra few months of studying could make a huge difference in your score and there are ways to prevent burning out (taking one day off of studying every week, keeping yourself …
-
Thanks for the input, everyone! I figured as much, but was hopeful there might be a shortcut. I find myself with just enough time to finish LR sections and would've been grateful for another minute or two lol.
-
Definitely agree with @"Nilesh S" and @"Derek Kunhee Kim (김건희)" Of course you can make enormous improvements and jump up to 160 in a month, but the less you study, the less likely that's possible. As they both point out, 10 hours a week of study…
-
It sounds as if you have a lot going on. Maybe you should consider taking the LSAT in Sept/Oct rather than trying to pressure yourself into squeezing in a lot of PTs in the last 3-4 weeks to build mental stamina. I think it's better to study gradual…
-
Just started reading the Trainer last week. Same as @harrismegan, I'm using it for Flaw and RC. So far it's great and as others have mentioned, compliments 7sage well.
-
Def would recommend it. You have a solid amount of time before the September LSAT and you want to review the curriculum and drill as much as possible. Plus, you get access to a lot of the most recent PTs, which you should def take, so I don't see th…
-
This might sound stupid, but I've never thought of controlling my diet when PTing. Do you guys think it actually makes a noticeable difference? I just figured that as long as I was well rested, tried to take PTs at a consistent time, and didn't drin…
-
@brna0714 I think I'm going to continue the same schedule as planned and wait until mid May to decide. I don't think that'll be too late to make a decision in terms of plane ticket prices going up. As for taking the more recent PTs, we're skipping a…
-
@Nilesh Normally I would agree, but I'm living in Turkey and the LSAT isn't offered in June or September. I'm going to have to fly to Munich and I can't afford to wait til a week before to buy the plane tickets or they'd be crazy expensive. But I ge…

@"Alex Short" I have ADD and I have found that meditating has helped me immensely. I meditate right before a study session or a PT and it increases my attention span and concentration.
-
Same here. I didn't have anymore time than the 7sage proctor gives when I took it in December and September at different places.
-
After I got a disappointing score in December, I totally lost motivation to start studying again for the retake in June. At first I didn't resist because I thought I should take a break anyway, but then it dragged on and on and I just couldn't push …
-
Hey guys, thanks for the advice! I'll def prep my meals in advance and hopefully I can shave off a chunk of time cooking. I'll also do LGs during my lunch break. I feel like if I'm really time efficient I should be able to squeeze in another hour or…
