LSAT Prep Question Forum

[kevgogators]

It's often easy to get lost in a sea of drilling, so I've been contemplating setting a structure to my daily routine of LSAT prep. I've noticed the amount of work I get done per day fluctuates greatly and I want to set a daily quota for myself. What do y'all think of completing 8 RC passages per day, 8 games per day, and 50 LR questions (minimum) per day?

Is this too much/too little? Bad idea/good idea? Is it comparable to the amount of studying y'all do?

I'm shooting for the December sitting. PTing at 156. Looking for a solid 15+ score jump.

doesn't sound efficient to me

Quality over quantity.

That doesn't sound like a great approach to me. There are two essential things you need to do: learn the theory/methodology for each section, and work on timing. So while doing a lot of timed sections will be helpful, simply doing a ton of prep work every day won't actually increase your score if you don't understand your mistakes and the areas that you need improvement in. Quality over quantity for sure.

Initially, work on understanding the basics of each section. You want to be able to get every question right on every section (not timed). Once you feel comfortable with the each section and know how to approach each question effectively, start working on timing.

For one: if you're only PTing 156 you're not really ready to start burning PT materials. For two: no, it's a real bad plan.

But get to work on a reasonable plan; three months for going from mid-150s to 170s is certainly not going to be easy, to say the least.
