So who has committed to the October test?
ME.

How ready do you feel you are?
I think ... overly ready. I still need to lay eyes on a few weird games just to shore that up. Remaining X factor is the experie…
When I first saw the title of this thread, here's what I thought of:

Is this a good idea?
It depends on where you're at and how much time you have. If you feel shaky on the fundamentals, then firm those up before wasting …
I'm pretty much exclusively interested in litigation and goal is to first chair as many trials as possible. I'm not a feminist but it would be gratifying to break that glass ceiling. I'm interested in oil & gas litigation as a specialty but woul…

I'm interested in real estate law and eventually transitioning into real estate development/management and opening up my own company.
Get your CRE brokers' license ... word is that RE attorneys who can get commissions make $$ !

At some point, quantity, the amount of hours and pt's, begins to yield little in terms of becoming better at taking the test.
By the way ... I'm managing this right now. Currently in day 1 of a 5 day full-stop studying break.…

Right now, I'm not doing that until about 2:00 for the tough questions (it's like a mental block or something) and it's wrecking me.
I still do that too, sometimes. Recording myself on video is helpful to see how/when/(an…
@DumbHollywoodActor said:
That requires an enormous amount of practice so that everything becomes intuitive.
I've found that an important part of the mindset is being ok with questions being hard (and even too hard for me, in the moment). Like, wh…
@africannarp said:
Now I take PT every other morning from 7am to 11am.
That's a lot of PT's! Are you getting in true BR for each? If not, I'd say ... Cut back on PT's/week. BR is more important than taking more and more PT's.

I know some that took a prep course and did great on the LSAT after less than 4 months of studying.
It depends on what "great" means and it depends on what the diagnostic is. For someone with a diagnostic under 150 with a 170+ g…
@sarkisp23 said:
But depending on your LSAT/law school goals, maybe that's all the time you want to devote. You can still get a decent score jump in that time.
Very true. For folks happy with ~160-165, I'd say that for many, depending on the diagn…

Will this work experience benefit you as an applicant in the law school admissions process down the road?
This could be an important consideration. WE is a great soft to differentiate yourself from K-JD folks!

I work full time, so I figure it'll take me longer than others to get through all the material.
I'll hit 15 months by the time I take in October. Also work full time with a part time gig as well ... low and slow, like good BBQ.…

I’m not saying that that is your issue because I have no idea; I’m just playing the odds. But if it is, then you have to ask yourself what’s more important: the money or the freedom. The other consideration is that preppin…
@2RARE2CARE said:
The fact that I have put ANY time off in between college and undergraduate is unacceptable to my family and I am receiving pressure from everyone, regularly..
Ignore them.
@2RARE2CARE said:
so I am taking the slow and consistent route.
When we say "slow and consistent," we do not mean 5.5-6 months maximum.

We mean more like a year.

am I completely screwed and should give up
If you're even asking this question, then it sounds like you might not really be convinced that law is your calling. I invite you to consider why you want to be an attorney. If making a l…
