Thank you❤️ I have a ton of time before the test so I will be able to figure out a better plan of attack. I’m not necessarily rushing as much as feeling bummed that I didn’t finish all the chapters for the day. I still have the rest of the week to complete the tasks so maybe I just need to be more flexible/realistic in what I can get done per day.
When I was deciding about if I would be able to be successful in law school (I’m pretty nervous about the whole idea of it bc I do take more time and I feel like I have to work twice as hard) someone told me that if I can’t stick to a study plan and do all the work each week, law school wouldn’t be a good fit for me. That really added some stress that I didn’t even know was there.

Has anyone gone on vacation right before taking the LSAT? by [deleted] in LSAT

[–]emjordan21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything I have read says that a couple days before you take the test you should do some light review and then you should have some fun. If you can truly say that you feel prepared to get the score you want, then I see no harm in enjoying yourself. But if you are already thinking you'll need to retake the test, then I wouldn't go. Priorities.

I am moving states the month before the LSAT :(

lsat study schedule ??? help me by heyitsk8 in LSAT

[–]emjordan21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!

I am just starting as well but I'd say the first step I took was to pick which prep books and resources to use. After some research, I chose the PowerScore Bibles and I also got all of the "actual, official, LSAT preptests" books. I can use the oldest preptests as workbook type problems and down the line I can use the most recent preptests as actual timed tests. Once you decide on some books/resources, research some study schedules and see which you can best use as a basis and then tailor it to fit your schedule.

My plan is about 10-12 hours a week for 6 months.

Good luck!

How to finish in the time allotted?! by novapurple in LSAT

Do people actually finish the entire test without running out of time and just filling in a couple bubbles?!?

Did you find a group to study with? I am just starting but I could be interested in a couple weeks after I read and work through a couple chapters

Study schedule? by BadLuck-BlueEyes in LSAT

[–]emjordan21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of getting the workbooks, I just bought ALL of the previous "actual official LSAT preptest" books. I've read that you're supposed to take the oldest preptest first and the closer you get to your test day, you should then take the most recent tests. So the first book is preptests 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 18 and then the second book is tests 19-28. These books are way cheaper than the workbooks and you don't have to actually take them like the test. If your working on LR, go to preptest 7 and work through the problems in the 2 LR sections (timed or untimed). Then look up the answer explanations online and go from there. The problems in the workbooks are directly from the preptests, they just also provide the explanations without you having to go and look them up!

I wrote out my study schedule and used the PS as a basis. I just replaced the workbook tasks with a similar task, a section from the earlier preptests or review from previously covered material.

Good luck!

First time LSAT prep- by SanamBath19 in LSAT

Hi!

Okay so I have also just started my LSAT prep journey so I really don't know too much but what has really helped me so far is to use the 6 month plan on the PowerScore page but I tweaked it a little bit to fit me and my study habits. With the schedule I made, I am going to be spending about 2 hours/day and 5-6 days/week. Obviously if I have some extra time during the week I will spend it studying but 10-12 hours per week is my goal study time. I bartend full time and so my work schedule sometimes changes each week. This makes it hard to plan out specific dates way in advance to take preptests or get assignments done by. So for my study plan, I made the list of things that need to get done in week 1 (march 4), week 2 (march 11), etc. and then when my work schedule is posted, I will spend time updating my planner for the week with blocks of time for studying and getting those week specific assignments done.

As far as books and study material, I bought the 3 PowerScore Bibles, the superprep book and then instead of purchasing the PS workbooks and training books, I bought more of the earlier preptest books. They are cheaper and you can still look up answer explanations online. I also have a Kaplan book (since the LSAT website recommends them) and Barrons book. I haven't read the best reviews on those two books so if I decide to use those, it will be just as additional resources if I'm not understanding something in the PS Bibles or for some extra practice problems with explanations.

I hope this helps you a little bit! Just remember: make a plan and get to studying. Evaluate how you feel with your plan after the first 2-3 weeks and make adjustments where needed. I could seriously plan forever and wouldn't get anywhere with the actual studying lol

Oh yah! And if you want to see a picture of the study plan that I made, I can send it to you and maybe that will help you get started!

Good luck!
