5.11.25

- had a very productive study day today at the local library! I really love 7Sage; I did a bunch of lessons on main point questions which I kinda love cuz I’m good at them haha. I did some drills too and only got one question wrong!

- it was such a confidence boost and I love the feeling of actually understanding what I’m doing. I knew why wrong answers were wrong, and I was speeding through the problems without second guessing myself.

- I’m looking forward to studying more this week!

You ever have those days where you wanna wear red lipstick but also look like a casual academic?

5.13.25

- studied for a bit today and worked on most strongly supported questions. I used to struggle with these kinds of questions but it definitely got easier going through examples and utilizing grammar parsing to help me better understand the language being used

- 7Sage also showed me a motivational video from a law student who underperformed on her first LSAT and kind of gave up studying for a while and felt demoralized. That reminded me a lot of my situation; I went through a period where I thought I could never get to the score I want so I just gave up studying. But like the student in the video, I’m glad I started up again and I do have confidence that I can master the LSAT. If she could get to her goal score so can I

- I won’t be studying tomorrow as I’m going out after work, so I’ll see you all on Friday with another study update :3

5.12.25

- studied for a couple hours after work today! I wish I could study more but I have such a limited time frame on the weekdays cuz I work 9-6 🙃

- but I started transitioning from main point/main conclusion questions to fill in the blank most strongly supported questions! It was a bit difficult at first, but it started to click into place thanks to the video instructions. I’m definitely a auditory/visual learner

- it also definitely helps to have a video lesson, and then immediately applying what I learned in a question or drill

- now I’m about to go watch legally blonde for the hundredth time for inspiration 😂 see you all tomorrow!

5.17.25 - 5.18.2

- this has been a very productive weekend for me! I studied for a majority of the day on Saturday and really focused on nailing down the question types I’ve been working on so far (Main Conclusion, Most Strongly Supported, and Point at Issue). Then I studied for a few hours today before going out for my Dad’s birthday

- I felt intellectually stimulated and engaged for the first time in a while which was a great feeling. I did a LOT of drills which I’m starting to find kind of fun lol

- I am really struggling with most strongly supported questions which is definitely frustrating. But I’ve been trying to go easy on myself and working on first getting through easier MSS questions to get more comfortable with them.

- I think before moving on to the next question types I’ve, I’m just going to keep drilling until I’m getting few (if any) questions wrong and feel more confident.

- also, kind of a side note, but I’ve been thinking about maybe starting a YouTube channel where I talk about all things LSAT, preparing for law school, film study vlogs, and maybe even do commentary about legal issues that interest me! Eventually when I get to law school I’d also love to document what that’s like too. I’d love to go more in-depth about what I’ve learned preparing for law school and show a realistic portrayal of what that looks like. If anyone has any topics they’d like to see me cover on that channel I’d love to hear from you!

- that is all for this weekend, thanks for reading and coming along with me on this journey! I hope everyone has a great rest of their day!

10.24.24

- I kind of struggled today when it came to studying not gonna lie. I’ve enjoyed going back into my workbooks and taking notes/studying from those instead of repeatedly taking practice tests, but I feel like I still have trouble applying what I’ve learned

- I got through two chapters again, one in my PowerScore Logical Reasoning Bible about resolve the paradox questions, and one in my PowerScore Reading Comprehension Bible which I haven’t touched in a while cuz I feel like reading comprehension is my strong suit already

- I then decided to try and complete a logical reasoning practice section on LawHub, but I really struggled to get through it and didn’t do great when I ended up finishing it and seeing my results

- Idk if I’m burned out or what; I was on such a roll earlier this month and improving exponentially but now I feel like I’ve regressed

- It’s frustrating to feel like all my studying is not paying off even though I know it has in some respects because I’ve been doing well on some practice sections/exams. UGH why can’t things just be easy. I hate whoever invented this test lol

- I’m thinking of maybe using flash cards/quizlet with each question type on a card and tips/tricks I can use to approach them. I tend to memorize things better that way so maybe that’ll help

- I can’t let this test defeat me I am determined to beat it. I know I can get there I just have to be patient (which is not a strong suit of mine lol)

- I hope everyone is having a great day!
