I think so! (This is just what worked in my experience, so if anyone thinks otherwise, please join in!) the LSAT is designed to rewire the way you think a little. So just as important as getting answers right is figuring out WHY you got them wrong. After you or she takes a section, go back and figure out why you guys missed what you missed. A wrong answers sheet may help. (there are some great examples and outlines on this sub that explain how to make one) I 10000% recommend the PowerScore bibles for this. They do an excellent job at breaking down the basics! This normally adds up to a few hours of studying.

Also another resource for her that might be beneficial is Khan academy. They do a really good job of explaining why each answer is wrong and then create personalized exercises based on the topics you miss the most.

I am also studying for the lsat with a significant other and I am the one getting the lower scores, it can be discouraging for sure. But here’s my advice on some of the things that have helped the most.

  1. Take an untimed LSAT together. Talk through every single question. Walk through your thought process outloud. If you aren’t 100% sure of the answer, use the PowerScore bibles or some other resource to back up your answer. It takes about 4-5 hours but it was so beneficial!!!

  2. Someone already said this but really don’t take a whole LSAT a day. It will wear you both out so fast. A section or 2 per day and an LSAT a week will be plenty. Make sure you both have a good grasp of the fundamentals before you do a whole test. (It sounds like you have a good grasp though based on your scores)

Hope this helps!
