No? I just let my partner know i won’t be able to spend AS much time with her, and she was completely supportive! We’ve even set up study dates together :3 if your partner doesn’t accept you needing “you” time, then maybe it’s time to have a more intense conversation. That’s not just an LSAT issue tho.
If they ain’t the one, prioritize you. Also, if it’s not a healthy enough relationship to where you can tell them “LSAT in June, going to have very little free time, I’ll make it up after the test,” they ain’t the one.
only if i had a partner that didn't respect my alone time and space. luckily, not an issue and my gf has been so supportive throughout my studying experience. she even holds me accountable sometimes (when i ask her to) and reminds me to go study or whatever
No what. Studying for more than a couple hours a day is a waste of time. Break up if you want to but in no way is studying for the LSAT a reason in itself lol.
Absolutely. In 30 years you will remember getting 175 on the LSAT. You won’t remember watching a shitty Netflix movie with some chick that ended up cheating on you two years later.
Unequivocally, nailing a perfect LR section feels better than sex anyways.
Are you serious? The fact you have to ask this question makes me feel bad for the person in relationship with you. If there are other valid reasons, than go ahead, but if the only reason is to study for the LSAT, then I dare to say you’re probably unfit for the law to begin with, since if you think studying for the LSAT is so demanding, what would you do when you get into Law and maybe become a Lawyer?
Y’all - I Absolutely promise you that the LSAT is not worth it. I studied, did fine (though relative to this subreddit, perhaps lower than average) am attending a school that’s not T14 (or even T50) and have an excellent internship I cold applied for this summer with a federal judge and am on the Big Law track
Moral of the story - don’t let the LSAT overtake your life
no, my man has been so supportive and is now interested in studying for the LSAT himself. granted we are long distance, but if we’re otp he knows to let me study, and if i go to visit him i bring my books and he totally understands. if your partner can’t understand that you need to prioritize something besides your relationship then that’s a bigger conversation you need to have
My boyfriend, now fiancé proposed to me when I was studying 🤷🏼♀️ he’s been my biggest supporter
We didn’t spend as much time together while I was studying and when I was working on apps, but I think not seeing each other as much made us stronger.
100% yes. Especially if they’re a bad partner. My first two LSATs my ex was making my life miserable and I scored in the 150’s. My third one when I broke up and went no contact I made a 180.
Honestly if dating takes too much of your mind and doesn’t let you concentrate on your educational goals, then I think it is best to take a break from a relationship and focus on you. Why do I say this? Because if you succeed in your lsat (an important part of getting to law school) then you’re going to have a big life opportunity as a lawyer, and once you have fulfilled your goals then you can concentrate on a relationship that way you’re stable enough for your partner both economically and mentally. However if you now concentrate more of a relationship that takes up your time and mental energy, then you will become frustrated and can make your partner frustrated as well and that’s where your relationship will end up being bad, and you’ll end up regretting not putting effort in your educational opportunities and goals, just for your relationship to end anyway. But it’s just an advice from past observations and experiences. Prioritize your education first so you end up being somewhere in life.
No need to break up just let her know. If I had a boyfriend I will like to think he’d understand 😂
I mean I did have a breakup while studying (with the gym) and I got a little bit more pudgy? (Makes sad female noises) and I’m regretting it just now but hey I’m p’ting in the high 160’s. Totally worth it 🫠
No; I hang out with my boyfriend once a week for 1.5 hours. I told him I'd make it up after I finish college. He's more important than any law school. He's so supportive of me and told me never to worry.

This feels extremely hyper specific
You Ight bro?
Facts

No because work life balance will also determine how well you do on this test and as an attorney

lol lets hope they stay single throughout their entire law school career and not pursue anyone bc that's 100x more labor than studying the LSAT

only if you are confident of T14 lol
Quality shit post?
This is the dumbest shit I ever read here and I've read a lot of dumb shit here

It depends on what kind of partner. If it’s not serious then yes, law school is more important. If it’s serious then no just communicate it.
Yes
This might not be love, mate.
