Through the week I work on lessons and take written notes and print PDFs. I keep those through the week in a small two pocket folder to make taking it with me to work easier. It has prongs but I don't really use them. I eventually transfer the pages…

I agree don't worry too much. I think the point is to make sure you have the reasoning right.
-
I'm at about -8 right now on LR and RC. That helps me a lot @tsamvelyan.
-
To add to the discussion, I personally have a problem with accepting a different answer than my original one especially on LR. And this leads to wrong answers. So, I think a clean copy will help with that even though it will be time consuming. I thi…
-
I like that idea. I may use it too. :-)
-
I don't know where you are at. But I agree with @emli1000. Maybe redo the curriculum to get a firm understanding of the basics. And focus on problem question types. Furthermore, I think BR is extremely important to improvement. It's helped me immens…
-
Thanks everyone for your advice. @jdawg113 I agree PT 44 did not seem all that much easier. But it sounds understandable on wrong answers being more difficult to weed out. I thought I was going to be further along on my course than I actually am so…

well said @emli1000
-
Cambridge and Blind Review have been extremely helpful for me on LR.
-
I was wondering this as well. I always run out of time on problem sets. Thanks.

Something I've been meaning to share that relates to this topic. I have a work calendar that has quotes, this months is "You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failures."-Charles C. Noble.
-
Thank you. I struggling with persistence. I took the September 2014 LSAT I'm a little ashamed to admit I got a 145. I used PowerScore the first time through studying for about 3-4 months but I slacked off too much and when I did study I wasn't doing…
-
I have The Trainer, Cambridge sets, and the PowerScore bibles. Not sure about Manhattan. I just started using the Cambridge sets but they have been helpful so far. The Trainer has been good for solidifying things but for me it wasn't a good starting…
-
Thanks everyone for your comments. I've been using The Trainer to help with solidifying information. It gave me my ah-ha moment on conditional logic. I definitely think that completing the logic curriculum will help immensely. The Excel spreadsheet …
-
lol @ddakjiking me too.
-
I agree with the previous posters. Go ahead and start studying if you can. I started studying May 2014 and took the September LSAT. I was unemployed but between stress and slacking off, I ran out of time to study completely. It was no surprise that …
-
That's what I was thinking as well. Thanks guys.
-
I don't think so either but I would definitely check with the test center. On my first take, I was under the understanding that it was one clear bottle of water only but there were multiple people with Gatorade or Vitamin Water. I saw one girl with …
-
I personally think that PowerScore is too complicated and I tend to like complicated. I'm using some of the problem sets in the PowerScore books for extra practice which is helping. But mostly it is not helping solidify understanding. However, I am …

Congrats!
-
@emli1000 I have the Ultimate course. I don't know if the Cambridge packets are necessary, but I can certainly see them as useful. I just upgraded but one of the things I realized within the last few days is that the Cambridge will be useful in gett…
-
@LSATman1 Cambridge packets are sets of questions from PTs 1-38 (I think) organized by question type and difficulty. They are used for question type drilling/practice. I'm personally about to start using them for practicing with difficult questions.
-
I agree it would be a good idea to postpone. I'm in the same boat as you with missing a lot of questions even on BR. Right now, I am blind reviewing everything. And drilling as much as possible. I can definitely already see a difference by doing the…
-
I listen to music for motivation before and after studying but not during. I find it distracting regardless on the genre. But I have been trying to do my PTs in a library and with the proctor app with distractions turned up.
-
Thanks everyone. I think I do have a compelling case on my mental illness but it is a little tricky to make sure I word everything correctly. One semester my GPA was about 3.0 the next semester it was 2.5 the next it was 1.8. The next it was back up…
-
No AP classes for me either so I have no idea on that. But a large majority of my community college courses definitely counted towards my BA and GPA. I took some courses after receiving my degree for fun, for lack of a better description. But those …
-
Thanks everyone. I was a bit freaked out with my 2.54 degree GPA. But if cumulative (3.0) is what matters that's good. I'm glad to hear it sounds like I may actually have a chance at T14 with a 170+ LSAT. I'm retaking in October from a poor performa…
-
I just upgraded to the Ultimate. It took me about 2-3 months to do so. The biggest difference between Ultimate and the Starter is that there are more problem sets once you get into question types (especially once you get to Most Strongly Supported q…
-
I agree completely with @blah170blah I think that doing timed sections will help me read the question stem more effectively and help with timing. So far, I've been doing the 7Sage sets timed and then Blind Reviewing them. Then checking answers and r…
-
Thanks everyone. I think I am going to do both PTs and drills. I agree with you @ddakjiking that I would have older test questions with Cambridge which I think would be a benefit. @emli1000 I upgraded to Ultimate today and there are more problem …
