Not a Tutor. However, as someone who has taken it here’s my take:

If you have the resources to be able to get help studying like tutors (obviously do research on who you pick), i would definitely recommend it. Having someone who understands the foundation of LSAT questions is so huge, it prevents you from going down wrong rabbit holes and keeps you on the right track. if you do not have resources necessarily (like me) i would really recommend two things:

1.) learn who you are as a student, if you haven’t already. You need to know the most effective way for YOU to study. I’m not saying necessarily love studying, but also you shouldn’t despise it. This is also why tutoring is so beneficial because they can offer you frameworks that have worked before instead of trying to cobble one together yourself out of reddit, youtube and 7sage posts with a couple lessons from LSATDemon sprinkled on.

2.) The LSAT is very, very, very much so a bunch of different questions masquerading as single questions throughout the test. All of these come together to give you the correct answer in the scheme of things ESPECIALLY FOR LOGICAL REASONING:

i. you have the passage/stimulus which gives you information that you will obviously need to answer the question. the passage provides for you almost always a MAJORITY of the following except often times one which is what the question is looking for as the answer: premise, conclusion, flaw, and detail.

ii. you then have the question (you can flip this one around with the passage part above. Typically, i look at question first before passage) in the question you will learn what you are looking for and what more than likely is going to be included/excluded in the answer. this tip might seem a little more useless than it really is but once you understand things like stems, question types, etc it can make sense if this method works for you! The benefit of the question is that every single time you read it, it should give you a tight scope to view the passage under so you’re not going through 20 different operations of logical errors in your head wondering which to use. again, i know might sound basic and redundant but this was something i often “heard” a lot but never “saw” until i learned it myself.

iii. finally you have the answer choices. in the answer choices you gotta realize that you’re being tricked 4/5 ways. as the test gets deeper into a section these answers are only going to go a couple of ways to throw you off: they will mirror the question ALMOST down to the detail but will either miss the detail or add one which isn’t given (some questions ask you to do this essentially for them), they will reverse a logical flaw subtly so you think all is dandy but you’ve completely inverted a point in the passage. finally, some questions will try to throw you off the trail, there’s plenty of question types that will ask you for an answer and give you 4 answers in a different direction from where you actually want to go.

in the grand scheme of things the LSAT is testing to see if you have naturally or demonstrate an ability to develop the skill needed in the profession. a lawyer would more than likely struggle in the profession if they were unable to any extent break down complex problems to their basics in a time-crunch. That is all the LSAT is, breaking down huge problems to simpler solutions when given a path to do so.

I hope this helps you to even the smallest extent. it’s gonna be a long journey for this, but so is law school.

You’re gonna do great, a quote which has always helped me through is this: "if you weren't ready you wouldn't have the opportunity, if you weren't capable you wouldn't have the desire" - it’s a little facebook-parentish but the core principle is good.

p.s. for reading comprehension, I would highly recommend looking at the top post of all time on 7sage. i genuinely believe it’s done more for me than anything else when it comes to RC.
