If you have six months to spend on LSAT prep, you’re in great shape to get your best possible score. However, to get there, you’ll need the right study plan. Magoosh has crafted a 6-month schedule to guide you through the lessons, practice tests, and materials you’ll need to get the highest possible score on test day. In other words, we’ve put together the only 6 month LSAT study plan you need!<\/p>\n
You should dedicate 1\u20132 hours a day, 2-3 days a week to study over the next six months. Use this six month LSAT study schedule as your guide to make the most of your study time.<\/p>\n
Quick note:<\/strong> Your LSAT score is one of the most important factors in law school admissions\u2014so be sure you give yourself sufficient time to study. See all of Magoosh’s LSAT study schedules here<\/a>.<\/p>\n For the updated LSAT in 2024, please view the PDF below:<\/p>\n <\/strong>What follows in this article is the study schedule for the pre-2024 LSAT.<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n <\/a> With six months to prepare, you have plenty of time to space out your studying. This six month LSAT study plan assumes you have about 5-6 hours a week<\/strong> to study, split up into 2-3 days a week<\/strong>, over the next six months. <\/p>\n Note that this 6 month LSAT study plan is technically<\/em> a 24-week plan, so if you are going by calendar months, you’ll likely end up with buffer time, since almost all months are a bit over 4 weeks. Depending on how your studying is going, you can use this time to take a break or an extra practice test. <\/p>\n The 6 month LSAT study plan is laid out for you week-by-week, with suggestions for how to break up your days of study. Over the course of this six month LSAT study schedule, you’ll take a diagnostic test and eight additional practice tests. <\/p>\n And if you do fall behind, don\u2019t get discouraged. The last month of this six month LSAT study plan will have you taking a practice test and reviewing it each week. While we believe this is ideal prep for the homestretch (this plan includes 9 full-length tests, which is plenty for most students to feel well-prepared), it also provides some buffer if you fall behind in the six month LSAT study schedule: you can cut this last month short to just one or two final practice tests. <\/p>\n It\u2019s far more important to focus on learning the material and improving your weaknesses than it is to take test after test without intentionality. So if you find yourself in this boat, don\u2019t skip earlier weeks in this six month LSAT study schedule in order to catch up to the practice test weeks. <\/p>\n And if you\u2019re a Magoosh student, remember you can contact our tutors with questions at anytime. They\u2019re always ready to help, so don\u2019t hesitate to reach out!<\/p>\n Six months is a great period of time in which to prepare for the LSAT. In fact, we often recommend that students with shorter timeframes consider extending them to six months! It’s the Goldilocks of time frames: short enough that you’ll remember what you’ve learned, long enough for you to learn it!<\/p>\n With that said, it can be overwhelming to study for the LSAT if you have other time commitments, like a job or family obligations. This six month LSAT study plan assumes you have 1\u20132 hours a day, 2-3 days a week to study.<\/p>\n If that doesn’t sound like you, don’t worry! If you have the hours but not the days, consider distributing the work for the week over the days that you do have.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if you have the days but not the hours, get through as much of the material in the six month LSAT study schedule as you can, but know that you may need to extend this plan by a month or two to get the maximum benefits. <\/p>\nDownload the Study Schedule as a PDF<\/h2>\n

\nYou even get a few rest weeks (yay!) to prevent burnout, especially in the earlier months of study. We recommend you do your best to keep up with your studying so that these can truly be rest weeks (or at least rest from the LSAT), but if life got in the way and you took a \u201crest\u201d week earlier on in the plan (oops!), these weeks can also be catch-up weeks. <\/p>\n![\"Back](\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/lsat\/files\/2020\/05\/back-to-top-button-150x40-1-e1600198616924.png\")
