(My current GPA is 3.92 and my aim for LSAT is around 173. I've tried some sections from PT and I think my starting point is kind of above average.)
Thanks for your help in advance!
Depends how quickly you pick things up. Some people can prep in 6 months or less, others take over a year. Perhaps take a practice test next Jan to see where you stand? If you score well at the start, then you don't have to worry about timing as much. If you score poorly, you may want to revise your plans.harryzhang wrote:For me, I think the ideal time to take LSAT is June/July 2019 and I'll probably start preparing from Jan 2019. Is that a little bit late? I plan to devote my winter break after Christmas and whole spring break (2 full weeks), in addition to the time from mid-May to the exam time.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. You can never fix your GPA, you can retake the LSAT if you need to. LSAT studying should not impact your course studies at all. To the extent that they do, you need to stop studying for the LSAT.I'm just wondering that is that possible to devote a lot of time (8-10 hours) to preparing LSAT every week throughout the semester when you have full course-load (4-5 courses). I've heard that LSAT is more important than GPA in the law school application, so is it a better choice to devote more time to LSAT and lose my GPA a little bit?
Many people study for the LSAT while holding down a full-time job. You could spend 60 hours a week on internship and honor thesis and still have 20 hours a week to study LSAT.Say I don't do well in June/July 2019 and I'll retake in September/October 2019, is it a better choice for me to study full time for LSAT throughout the summer or I can do an internship (part time/full time) at the same time? In addition, I also plan to write a honor thesis, so I'll probably need to do some research/reading in the summer as well.[/list]
