现在在一家consulting firm, 全职，所以准备考试初步考虑是每天早上起来1－2h和晚上8－9下班坚持3－4h，一天中间最多还能抽出1h的零碎时 间，周末不加班的话看一整天。

请大家出出主意帮我规划一下时 间～ ) [; T' c7 ~5 k M3 ]$ q2 E
A: 这个问题并非由我来回答，但很显然，要制定一个计划，你可以backward planning或者forward planning。由于申请截止日 期已定，必需用backward planning。首先，决定考试日程，再做一些有关习题了解题型，并根据你的英语水平，加上你的目标分数，评估你攻克每个section需要的精力和需要的做的习题（包括书、培训等，但不包括真题）。再根据自己的学校学习安排，决定你需要模拟真题需要的量和时 间。最后根据两个时 间加上你希望完成的日 期，比如考前两星期完成复习，来制定你的启动日 期。当然，没有把握的话，最好考虑一些多余的时 间以对付意外情况。
3 N& U7 N* W1 {3 ?A: 试试就知道啦，不过可行性还是可以的。因人而异，LSAT越往高分，英语基础越重要，所以关键看你的英语基础有多扎实。

I heard that it does help a lot if you let them know, in some way, like through your PS, reference letter, what it means to you to be able to get to the school you attended. they appreciate if you let them know as much as possible about your school. 3 \0 U) z4 O q/ D7 W

A: Beginning with the June 2005 test, the time allotted for the unscored LSAT writing sample will increase from 30 to 35 minutes, the writing space will increase from one to two pages, the directions have been revised, and each test taker will be randomly assigned one of two different kinds of writing prompt. One kind is new to the LSAT. The other is very similar to the kind of writing prompt that has previously been administered with the LSAT and that has appeared in official LSAT preparation materials produced prior to June 2005. The writing sample will remain unscored.
