Only Studying - How to not burn out/run out of material Forum

[lawschoolgirl312]

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to not burn out or run out of material for the September LSAT?

I am only studying from now - the LSAT..and I fear that I will run out of material soon...!

I'm not really sure one could possibly run out of LSAT material in four months without burning out...

Ultimately, burning out is based on who you are. Some people could spend 6 hours a day studying for the LSAT for four months. Many/most cannot.

I can do 2x two-three hour sessions [depending on free time], but I need a day off a week on average doing that to recoup... I think it will change a bit when I feel comfortable with basics and am focusing on just hammering games or LR.

Something I think is important is to try and make sure you leave the more recent tests off limits in regards to working on games, question types, etc... you want those for available and not in your mind for diagnostics / full practice tests.

rest, then retake your PTs.

if you're not getting 180's on retakes, then work on those problems and figure out why.

Then do it again. Keep a spreadsheet of your recurring mistakes. Why did you get it wrong the first time? The second time? What can you do so when you see a problem like that again, you won't make a mistake?

thanks for your suggestions! I'm just re-starting the LSAT, i took it back in December and then I re-picked it up for the september LSAT. Its just a little discouraging to see how much I have forgotten

I would work on developing a fundamental understanding. I can see how someone would forget things, but I do not think LSAT knowledge would completely atrophy like that over a few months.
