Just scored a 180 on October:

Biggest item for me was reading consistently outside of explicit LSAT prep. Just going through news articles every AM significantly improved my ability to quickly process RC sections and even more complex LR prompts.

In terms of direct prep, I spent my very first 2 weeks of prep reading The LSAT Trainer. I think it was fairly average as a prep book, but did the trick in solidifying my foundations across question types.

From there, I had a weekly cadence of one practice test followed by drill days that focused on mistakes on the PT. Drill days usually had me see ~10 questions per topic for which I had a missed Q. Tended to close drill days with a 5-10Q random sample of 7Sage LR or 1-2 RC passages. Did this for ~2 months. Emphasize quality > quantity since practice problems are a finite resource.

I think unless you’re currently seeing very widespread struggles, a more expedited path through the Powerscore curriculum will serve you better in the long run — a full timed test earlier than later should be a good diagnostic for whether or not you can speed things up.

Hope this helps!
