I wish there was more to it but it sounds like you have the fundamentals down. Lots of practice is what will move you over the finish line. The best thing to do is have days where you basically do games until your eyes bleed. Maybe twice a week do at least five hours of games even if it means you have to hit some older ones for me, I knew I did games hard enough if I was still seeing variables flying around in my head when I laid down to go to sleep. Make sure that you do occasionally mix in intense days with more study maybe one day a weekend Also, when you get to the tail end of your LSAT prep you must schedule in the time it takes to do full simulated tests.
I am averaging at , however, I am desperately hoping in these last weeks to hit and reach a on test day, having done so only once. I am trying to stick to a 40 hour a week schedule, taking tests times a week. Well, first, you sound just a little bit stressed out. Focusing on the prep is great, but maybe try some sports and meditation too. To deal with those difficult problems, try mixing in a little untimed prep back into your schedule and also remember to properly review each and every question you find hard.
Beyond that, you want to just keep doing what you are doing. A lot of people make big strides in the last month so there is still time for things to click.
What type of schedule do you suggest I follow? Celia, I suggest you leave it until 4 months or so before the exam and just study intensely for that time. I just see higher scores with that rather than really drawn out prep. Check out our lesson on LSAT conditional reasoning.
I am interested in this program, all programs involved, and preparation to take the LSAT as well. What would be an example of a study schedule i should follow? Do you recommend spending at least a month on logical reasoning, than another month on logic games and so forth? Looking forward to this Evan, your recommendations for prep books were spot on so far and fairly consistent with the rest of my research regarding self study prep materials.
