Prep Tips<\/h2>\n

Your LSAT prep process should proceed through the following stages: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gaining familiarity with the format of the LSAT.<\/li>\n
  2. Building your understanding of the concepts it tests.<\/li>\n
  3. Going over the LSAT prep checklist one month and two weeks before test day. (Keep reading for a free download of the checklist!)<\/li>\n
  4. Taking and reviewing practice exams.<\/li>\n
  5. Getting ready for the day of the test.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Get to Know the Format of the LSAT<\/h3>\n

    \nBefore diving into your LSAT studies, you\u2019ll want to read about the format of the test<\/a> and what\u2019s in each of the different sections. Then, take a diagnostic test<\/a> to see where you\u2019re starting. This is also a good time to think about the target score for your dream law schools<\/a> and get motivated to master this test!\n<\/p>\n

    2. Build Understanding of LSAT Concepts<\/h3>\n

    \nAfter learning about the format of the test and taking a diagnostic exam, it\u2019s time to build your understanding of the different concepts tested by the LSAT, including conditional logic, causal reasoning, logical fallacies, diagramming logic games, and so much more. This is where taking an LSAT course<\/a> or working through LSAT prep books can be very helpful. During this stage, you\u2019ll want to develop a systematic approach to every component of the test and work through problem sets from past LSATs to expose yourself to many of the tricks and traps the LSAT writers set for unprepared test-takers.\n<\/p>\n

    3. Check Your Progress With Our LSAT Prep Checklist<\/h3>\n

    Our free, downloadable LSAT prep checklist<\/a> will help you keep track of the concepts you’ve learned throughout your LSAT preparation. Start by rating your knowledge (on a scale of 1-5) of the concepts listed about one month before your test day. After you complete your first check-in, look at which concepts have a 1, 2, or 3 next to them. These are your weaker areas, and you’ll want to focus your review and practice on these concepts.<\/p>\n

    \"Screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n

    Two weeks before test day, go through the LSAT prep checklist again, and rate each concept again. Have you improved your confidence in the weaker areas? Are there any concepts you still feel unsure about? Be sure to strengthen your LSAT prep in any concepts that you rated between 1-3 while still leaving time for doing overall review and practice tests.<\/p>\n

    \"Click<\/a><\/p>\n

    4. Take and Review Practice Exams<\/h3>\n

    \nMany LSAT-takers don\u2019t take enough practice tests before the real exam. Although you might feel comfortable with a lot of things tested by the LSAT during a relaxed study session, you may feel differently under the pressure of a test. When you\u2019re limited to 35 minutes per section and have to deal with a mix of question types, the pressure is on! Taking practice tests under realistic conditions is the best way to get used to the pacing of the exam and to figure out your weaknesses. The most successful LSAT students usually take at least six practice tests before the real thing, and many take more than ten.\n<\/p>\n

    \nReviewing your tests is even more important than just taking them<\/strong>. To learn from your mistakes, you have to understand why you made them and how you can avoid similar mistakes in the future. For every question you get wrong, strive to understand:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Why the answer you picked is wrong.<\/li>\n
    2. Why the right answer is correct.<\/li>\n
    3. Why you picked the wrong answer instead of the right one.<\/li>\n
    4. What you can do to avoid this kind of mistake. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      To help you with this process, using resources from an LSAT prep course or working with an LSAT tutor can be effective. <\/p>\n

      5. Get Ready for Test Day<\/h3>\n

      \nAbout two weeks before the test, it\u2019s time to get ready for game day. The LSAT is a test of mental performance and endurance, and it\u2019s therefore critical that you\u2019re in top test-taking shape by the time of the real exam. This means you should adopt a sleeping, eating, and exercise routine that fits the time of your scheduled exam.\n<\/p>\n

      \nYou should also get all of the logistical and administrative issues for the test out of the way well in advance. If you\u2019re taking the remote LSAT<\/a>, you should prepare your space for exam day and test out your internet and computer on ProctorU\u2019s website. If you\u2019re taking an in-person LSAT, you should know how to get to the exam location and gather all of the items you\u2019ll bring to the exam center.\n<\/p>\n

      \nOn the day of the test, make sure to do a super easy logic game and a handful of easy logical reasoning problems to warm up several hours before the real exam. Think of it like stretching before a run.\n<\/p>\n

      How long does it take to prepare for the LSAT?<\/h2>\n

      \nSo, how long should you plan to study for the test? That depends on a lot of factors, including how you do on your diagnostic test, how much you want to improve, and how much time you have to study each week. That said, an average person coming to the test as a beginner should be prepared to spend between three to six months studying for the test. No matter how long you intend to study, make sure to use an effective LSAT study plan<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
