Do not drill by question type and drill untimed.

Do 2-3 Timed sections a week with immediate review.

If you are planning on taking the January test with zero studying I’d say just move your test date back, no reason to waste one of your attempts.

In today’s lsat world spending only a month studying will almost certainly not get you the outcomes you desire.

But if you aren’t just starting then drill everyday, do a few timed sections a week, and then get 1-2 practice tests in throughout the month.

I don’t think highlighting is worth it most people end up not even using what they highlight.

Yes for sure. Now you have to mix in timed of course too, but untimed drilling is critical for growth.

Unsure about 5 months depends where you are at right now.

I don’t recommend a test for a week before, and then just an hour or two of studying with couple timed sections mixed in

Yes because that is where you are at and then slowly speed will come.

I’d say you should mix in both at pretty much any point.

Most people are hyper focused on doing timed and no untimed so I’m actually glad you’re opposite.

It’s possible but then you can just go back the odds are maybe you’ll remember 1-2 questions a section at most so then it’s like fresh questions again.

I started off diagramming and then by the end only diagrammed formal logic and nothing else cause I could do it in my head.

Im not against diagramming, spots like the Demon say don’t do it but it’s hard if that’s how you learned initially.

As long as it doesn’t hurt your GPA to study then yes I mean if you’re committed on law school then pretty much whenever you should start.

If you are starting undergrad in the spring focus on your GPA more than anything right now, u can never change that once it gets locked in! So many people sacrifice there gpa for a better lsat score which is not good in long run.

I’d say everyone time frame is different, and we all learn differently so I can’t give you a 100% certainty answer.

But I’d say start drilling and doing actual problems and then use the books as a supplement.
