However, they only tell you what to do each week, not what to do each day.
I often get questions regarding what exactly to do at a particular point in time.
Many of you just want things spelled out in more detail.
For this reason, I've created several premium LSAT study schedules that lay out specifically what to do on a day-by-day basis.
(Read some testimonials from those who've already used my day-by-day study schedules to learn more.)
The 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, and 4-month schedules are each $19.97. The 5-month, 6-month, and 7-month schedules are each $24.97. It's a small price to pay for a whole lot of guidance.
1-Month (4-Week) LSAT Study Schedule: Premium Day-By-Day Version
2-Month (8-Week) LSAT Study Schedule: Premium Day-By-Day Version
3-Month (12-Week) LSAT Study Schedule: Premium Day-By-Day Version
4-Month (16-Week) LSAT Study Schedule: Premium Day-By-Day Version

6-Month (24-Week) LSAT Study Schedule: Premium Day-By-Day Version
7-Month (28-Week) LSAT Study Schedule: Premium Day-By-Day Version
Want to know exactly which:
- PrepTest sections to complete under timed conditions toward the middle and end of your prep?
- LSAT Blog posts to read before completing particular LSAT questions?
- LSAT questions you should complete at a particular point in time?
Do you:
- want everything you need to do compiled into one big list?
- want to make sure you're not missing out on some valuable blog post I've already written that could hold the key to the score you need?
- want to know exactly what to do each day, and in what order?
Well, I've heard your cries of distress. My premium LSAT study schedules will give you all of that valuable information.
Let me save you the trouble of figuring out exactly what to do, so you can just get down to business right away.
Use these schedules to spend less time copy-pasting stuff and worrying about whether you're on track, and spend more time studying, sleeping, and maybe even watching some Jersey Shore.
Here are the schedules again:

Please note:
-The 1-month schedule assumes you're able to intensively study for the LSAT full-time.
-The other schedules all assume you're studying at least 10-15 hours per week.
- There are significant differences between the day-by-day schedules and the week-by-week schedules. The day-by-day schedules aren't merely the week-by-week schedules divided by 7.
-In particular, the longer-term day-by-day schedules include exclusive recommendations not found in the free week-by-week versions, especially when it comes to using the older PrepTests effectively. "Catch-up and review weeks" in the free week-by-week versions of the 5-month, 6-month, and 7-month schedules have been replaced in the premium day-by-day versions with recommendations regarding the effective use of older exams.

Thank you. I have been putting in the hours but I am still a tiny bit behind on the 3-month schedule. December is right around the corner so this will be very helpful to keep me on track.
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded your 2-month schedule. Its great!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI registered for the December LSAT about a week ago...I planned to take the LSAT in October 2011 and apply for the Fall 2012 year, but I decided recently I don't want to take a year off and would rather take the December test and apply for Fall 2011. I'd like to purchase your One Month day-by-day test schedule, but wanted to know how many points do you think I can raise my score (I scored a 165 on my first full length practice exam) if I studied my a** off for the next month?
Hey there,
ReplyDeleteI can't make predictions about how much you can raise your score.
All I can say is that you're more likely to raise it significantly by studying a lot than by not studying a lot.
will you be making daily schedules for long-term prep? I'm planning on taking the LSAT in june 2011, and will begin with your seven-month schedule in early December, but daily would definitely help keep me on track because i work full time. please consider it! thank you very much!!
ReplyDeleteHey Michaela!
ReplyDeleteYes, I will be making daily schedules for long-term prep - they'll be coming out soon :)
-Steve
Concurred with Michaela. Steve, should I wait for your long-term prep releases for those that have 6 months to study or should I go with your 4 month schedule? I actually wish to begin preparation this month for the June 2011 exam. I'm strong considering ordering your 4 month daily study schedule though. Oh, and like Michaela I also work full time. Please let us know when your long term schedules would be available. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLonger-term schedules are coming very soon - probably this week!
ReplyDeleteShould I get the 1 month study guide? I just took OCT and plan to retake in Dec. I did study, but apparently not enough. I got a 163, hoping for a 170+.
ReplyDeleteI missed some LR.
I did 100% on the first RC, missed 3 on the animals talking part, and missed a few on the black history one.
Missed 1 question on most the the LG, missed 2 on 1.
Sorry to hear October didn't go well.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely recommend getting the day-by-day schedule.
Hey Steve I got your 1 month day-by-day schedule and it's great-thank you for making it. I'm doing the assigned problems and I wanted to know, what is the best way of reviewing the problems? Should I be concentrating on figuring out why I got something right or can I just spend my time figuring out what I did wrong and how I should have approached the problem?
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteFocus on the ones you got wrong and/or had difficulty with. Most people won't have the time to review every single question.
Hey Steve, I just bought your 6 month day-by-day schedule, and on day3 of week 1 it says to diagram in your style instead of theirs. What do you mean by this. Is this referring simply to the Limited Options part of the diagraming, or is there a blog post that goes through how to diagram every type of rule, and we should ignore how the LGB does it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Amish
Hi Amish,
ReplyDeleteI link to my blog posts throughout the study guide to give you a sense of my approach to the various game-types. You can see my diagramming style in the explanations I've written for several of my own Logic Games.
-Steve
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteHow many hours per day would I need to devote to LSAT for the one-month day to day schedule? Also, will this work for people who are re-taking the LSAT?
Thanks,
D
Hey D,
ReplyDeleteThe 1-month schedule requires something along the lines of 4-5 hours/day, although not all days have exactly the same amount of work.
These schedules are also useful for retakers. However, you may want to make some modifications to allow more focus on your particular areas of weakness.
-Steve
I just wanted to say thank you for creating the day-by-day schedule. I have been studying for the LSAT for the last month steadily, but found it difficult to structure my days as specifically as I would like. Now I can use this schedule in the final weeks leading up the Dec 11th LSAT to review and practice all concepts. The links to the blog through the schedule are helpful supplements.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, I started studying in February for the June 2010 test and while I was motivated at first, I got really busy at work and lost motivation toward the end of my studying. I didn't study much in May. I still ended up getting a 166 but am really trying to aim for 170+. At this point, I am considering studying again for the June or October test next year. Which do you recommend? Should I get the 6 or 7 month plan? I work full time. Thanks.
ReplyDelete@Anon 11/16 3:40PM - Glad you're enjoying it!
ReplyDelete@Anon above me:
If shooting for June, 6-month plan makes more sense since there are currently about 25 weeks remaining.
If shooting for October, 7-month plan makes more sense. See June vs. October LSAT to decide.
Best of luck as you prep!
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteGreat site, it has been of much help!
I signed up for the Feb'11 LSAT and was thinking about getting the 1 month guide. I work full-time [50-60 hrs a week]. I want to be able to maximize my time to target my weak spots (LGs and parallel reasoning q's) Oh, I took the Dec.'10 LSAT but canceled my score. PT'ing 165 +/- 4. I know it's odd for me to be asking you to tell me whether or not to buy your product but from a professional LSAT Tutor to a student what do you suggest?
Thanks
Glad you're enjoying the blog!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're better off getting the 2-month schedule (since there are about 2 months remaining and it's better for those working full-time).
Hi Steve, I took the December LSAT and did well below my Ptests (got a 155, and was regularly scoring in the low 160's.) I just registered for the Feb lsat, and have about 5 weeks to study. I was also planning on taking the June test as well (I'm not going to let this thing beat me) and maybe a class leading up to that. Any suggestions? Really appreciate what you do and your blog.
ReplyDeleteHey Steve, using the 2 month day-by-day and killing it. Words can't describe my thanks to you for setting up these guides, SO HELPFUL! It will be my second attempt at the LSAT this February and having the study plan has been such a de-stresserizor. I can actually watch myself improve on the various question types, such a revolutionary idea...
ReplyDeleteHey Steve,
ReplyDeleteWhat are required materials for the Study Schedules (Logic Games Bible, PrepTests, etc.)?
The day-by-day schedules suggest using many of the same materials as the week-by-week schedules, such as: the Logic Games Bible, Logical Reasoning Bible, the book of PrepTests from 29-38, most of the recent individual PrepTests, and A Rulebook for Arguments.
ReplyDeleteHey Steve,
ReplyDeleteI was just about to start studying for the LSAT in June 2011 and your blog is awesome! In terms of studying for either the 3 or 4 month schedules, how many hours/wk am I looking at? 10? 15? 20?
Also, I would guess you recommend a light schedule (I'm a senior) while studying? I only need 10 to grad (but have to take 13 to maintain full time status), but am taking 16 just to 'learn.' I guess you suggest lighter is better (to study?? Thanks again!
Hey Asim,
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying the blog! Those schedules require something along the lines of 10-15 hours/week, although it'll vary from person to person.
Yes, less time in class means more time for LSAT prep. Some thoughts on LSAT prep while in college.
Hi Steve!
ReplyDeleteI took the December LSAT and I totally bombed it. Since then, I've been discouraged and have neglected studying...but I am trying to get myself together and retake the exam either in June or October. I work full time and am involved in some organizations. Having said, do you recommend that I retake the exam in June or in October? Depending on your answer, I would like to buy your study schedule...Thanks in advance!
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the December LSAT.
Here are some tips on deciding between the June and October LSAT.
Hey Steve,
ReplyDeleteI bought the 4-month day-to-day schedule and will start working through it for the June exam. (The plan looks great! Thank you.)
Couple questions:
1) Is there a reason for not using the prep tests #39-42 in the schedule ?
2) I actually have written through the June 2007 (the unnumbered one) before. Should I just pick any other prep test in its place? (or, is there one you'd suggest?)
Thanks!
Glad you're enjoying it!
ReplyDelete1. Yes - there's a limit to how many individual PrepTests people are willing to buy (due to individual PTs' higher price).
Additionally, those particular ones are difficult to find in print form, but plenty of PrepTests are available without those. If you like, you can certainly complete them in addition to or instead of others.
2. If it was a long time ago and you don't really remember it, you can do it again anyway. Otherwise, you can shift things around a bit to use another recent one, or you can simply do one fewer full-length PT.
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI am trying to purchase your 5-month day-by-day version, and it is not letting me do so, without any apparent reason. Is this available to Canadian test takes as well?
Thanks
I'm sorry it's not going through. I'd suggest having a friend make the purchase for you - it may have to do with your credit card.
ReplyDeleteThis is available to all test-takers in countries where PayPal operates. Canada IS among these countries.
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI just purchased the 5 month day-to-day study schedule and will be taking the test in October. I was going to start studying on May 1, but realized if I start then I will finish the study schedule 2 weeks before the test date. I was thinking that maybe I should just start it on the 1st anyway and give myself a bit of leeway during the summer months just in case I decide to take off a week for vacation, or I get sick, etc. So I have a few questions… Do you think it’s okay to take a break from the study schedule at all, such as a week like I mentioned, or should I just go straight through? If I don’t take any breaks and still start on the 1st, what do you recommend I do in those last two weeks without a schedule? Should I just keep taking more practice tests? Orrrrrrrrrr would it be best if I just forget about all of this and begin the schedule on the 15th so that I lead right up to the test?
Thank you in advance, Steve. You’re the BEST!!!
Glad you're enjoying the blog!
ReplyDeleteStart now so that you have a cushion if you want to take a break or in case anything comes up that keeps you too busy to study for a while.
If you end up with extra time, take more practice tests/sections and/or review weak areas.
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI'm planning to take the Dec 2011 LSAT. Just wondering if you were planning to update the 7 month daily schedule in any way. If not I will go a head with the purchase. Thank you in advance!
I will update it by adding PrepTest 64 (the October 2011 LSAT) to the study regimen, but there will not be any other significant change. I'd recommend buying the schedule now if you like.
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the study schedule. I just have one question about the 3 month study plan. In week 3, day 5 & 7 of the logic games, you ask us to go complete PT32, PT33, PT34, PT35, and PT36. We did all these problems already throughout the first couple weeks. Do you want us to do these sections games all over again, but timed? I am hoping this is not a dumb question. Thanks again.
Yes, I want you to redo them, timed.
ReplyDeleteEugene
ReplyDeleteHi Steve just wanted to know I am taking the LSAT in October and is planning to purchase the 4 months study plan on Thursday of this week (should I purchase the 4 or 5 months self study plan ?) thanks again.
Dear Steve,
ReplyDeleteI am entering my senior year this fall. I have been studying for the June LSAT for the past three months semi intensively and although I have achieved scores in the range I hope for (169-176) these are still infrequent on timed tests. In fact, my recent scores have ranged from 160- 167… much lower than my best, and alarmingly all over the place. I am, I think wisely so, postponing until October, because I am confident that I am capable of scoring in the 170s with the right kind of practice. I am extremely self motivated and do not need to take a course/ etc. to keep me on track, I think what I need is (other than to better my timing, which remains iffy) to understand the test more by question type and be able to identify commonalities in each category. I have looked at the descriptions of your day by day schedules and week schedules. I think that something of this nature would really help benefit me (i.e. tell me what to do when, so that I can just do it) but am not sure whether this is ideal for me, or if there is another way that you would recommend. One of the things I plan on doing is going over questions I got right AND wrong to determine why I got them right and wrong, and why each choice is right or wrong. Do you think there is value in this as well? I’m not a complete idiot—I have a 3.93 GPA, am an Honors student, and don’t settle for less than I know that I am capable of (hence postponing!) but am concerned that my timing especially is something that just cannot be improved, and is a “personal thing…” I’ve taken 17 practice tests, and only 6 of these timed, but don’t know HOW I should be interpreting such erratic timed scores (160=176 is a crazy range!!)
Sorry to pick your brain like this!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
@Eugene
ReplyDeleteJust pick the schedule best for you based upon the number of weeks remaining until Test Day and your personal schedule / obligations / vacations between now and then.
@Anonymous
Detailed review of every question is helpful, but time-consuming. You may want to focus more on questions you get wrong or have difficulty with - or have specific reason to believe you'd benefit from reviewing.
Timing can definitely be improved!
Hello Steve,
ReplyDeleteI am upcoming junior interested in applying for my JD/MBA. Because I am taking both the LSAT & GMAT, I will be taking the JUNE 2012 LSAT. Will you be updating your study plans anytime soon for this test?
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI do not have a credit card. Is it possible to e-mail you the cost for the 4 month schedule? I'm in Canada, not sure if I can do that. After the funds clear then I can get the schedule?
Can anyone help with this? I took the June test, royally screwed up the RC, then decided to cancel. I'm planning to retake in October and wanted to purchase a day-to-day plan, but I'm not sure which, if any, would apply to my situation. I've already worked through the LG and LR Bibles, along with most of the older books of ten PT's. Any recommendations?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 6/10 - I won't be updating the plans for June 2012 yet since it's still a year away! I recommend you can get the 7-month plan and complete it at a slower pace.
ReplyDelete@CherM - You can still use PayPal - it's possible to link PayPal with your bank account and pay by eCheck. PayPal is the only payment system I use. Alternatively, you can have a friend with a credit card make the purchase for you.
@Ty - Sorry to hear of the RC screw-up. I'd recommend the 4-month day-by-day plan for you - it'll give you plenty of guidance on using the newer exams and a variety of books.
Hello Steve,
ReplyDeleteTwo questions for you :
1. I'm planning to take the December 2011 LSAT as a junior in college. Do you think that's too late (should I take it in October instead?)?
2. Without any knowledge of games, tricks, rules of the LSAT, I scored around 157 on my first LSAT... :( Is a 170+ or even a 180 goal too unrealistic at this point?
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI bought your 4-month study plan back on May 1st to begin working through it (somewhat slower due to a heavy work schedule) for the October test - are there any big changes since to the 4-month study plan since May? I saw that you stated that you updated them, but I'm not sure if I purchased it before or after the updates!
Thank you!
@Anonymous 6/20
ReplyDelete1. Too many factors are at play to say what's better.
2. More time is better for significant score increases, but don't take a cold diagnostic as being indicative of your potential.
@Shaina
The 4-month schedule currently available is now oriented for December test-takers, but there have not been other major changes, except including links to recent substantive blog posts within the schedule.
Steve, can you compose a 3 month intensive retake day-by-day plan for the re-triers? I will be happy to purchase it. Unavailable though.,
ReplyDeleteSteve: Purchased 3-month day-by-day. Week 1 Day 4 (yes I'm behind...) says to do "PrepTest 34, Game 2 - p.211". Is this correct? It seems harder than appropriate at this stage (multiple variable sets) or am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteJust posted...Same thing with the next one. I'm totally missing the connection between these ones and the prep to this point.
ReplyDeleteOkay - Looked at them again today and figured it out. The wording of these things kills me...
ReplyDeleteHello Steve,
ReplyDeleteWhen will the day-to-day schedule be available for the Feb 2012 LSAT?
@Anonymous 7/6 - I haven't made a day-by-day schedule for retakers because most retakers haven't completed one of my original day-by-day plans. Those who have should focus on their weak areas, and different test-takers have different weak areas.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 7/27 - Probably within the next week or so.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on taking the Dec 2011 LSAT. I've just downloaded your 4 month guide. As I'm skimming through, I'm just wondering what do you recommend buying? I just want to make sure to make all the purchases before I begin studying so I'm not stuck waiting for items while I'm studying? So far I see the LGB, The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests, and the LRB as well as SuperPrep. For instance, you recommend doing a question from PT 45, S1, #8 (under day 5, week 4)...do I need to buy another series or is this in the LRB? Also under day 7, week 3 you reommend doing timed LG sections from PT31 and PT 32...should I be making multiple copies of the games before I start doing them so as to not spoil the answers when I do them timed? Same for the recommended timed LR sections under PT 47 you recommend doing [week 9, day 4] (again, where can this be found?) Also, your full practice tests include instructions for an experimental section correct? Sorry for the length, of this post, I was just a little unclear in the beginning. So far, your guide seems awesome. I'm a retaker (with more than a year off, so I found your day by day guide to be really helpful, I definitely need the structure).
Glad you're enjoying the schedule!
ReplyDeletePlease see the list of recommended books provided at the very beginning of the schedule. For each book, I link to where you can get the given book at the beginning of the schedule as well as when I first mention it within the relevant week. I also link to a blog post where I give recommendations about photocopying games to redo them. I give instructions about experimental sections when discussing full-length timed exams at the end of the schedule.
Hope this clears things up!
Thanks again. Sorry about the post, I was work. I'll be printing it out and doing a full read through tonight. Thanks again for the guide. Best $20 bucks I've spent in a while!
ReplyDeleteI posted earlier to ask a question - so thank you for getting back to me!
ReplyDeleteI also just wanted to say that I am a little more than halfway through the 4-month study schedule, and it has really saved my LSAT Prep. I intended to take the October LSAT last year, but with a busy work schedule, I just couldn't figure out where to start. Then I though I would take the Decemeber...and then the June...I can't even imagine where I would be right now without the LSAT schedule (probably not prepping for the LSAT!).
Even though I do not have specific results yet, the study schedule was the smartest $20 investment and truly gets you on track while still leaving the flexibility to add in areas that you need extra practice.
So thank you again Steve! I don't know where I would be without you and your student schedule!
I've noticed that most people (posters on this blog as well as elsewhere) seem to be able to score between 165-170+ after some studying - whether it is from your guides or from other sources. I've found that I've only been able to improve my score from a 149 to about 156-160 on practice exams. And I know that there's no way the majority of people taking this test can score in the 165-170 range so easily, otherwise getting a perfect 180 would be an absolute requirement when it comes to getting into ANY decent school.
ReplyDeleteWhat am I missing here? Am I just not smart enough to score higher than 160 despite improvement a bit on practice exams?
By definition, most people score towards the middle, so I wouldn't agree that most people, even most people who post, score 165+.
ReplyDeletePerhaps those who post are an unrepresentative sample - those who score highly are more likely to mention their scores.
However, this is not reason to work as hard as possible to become one of those scoring 165+. You have plenty of time to improve through hard work and reach your goals!
Are the study guides self-contained, or require a number of preptests to be purchased as well?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it's not possible to include PrepTests and prep books within a schedule that costs less than the cost of the PrepTests / prep books themselves!
ReplyDeleteHello -
ReplyDeleteWhen the study guides download, are you able to open and use them on multiple computers (personal laptop, school computer, etc)?
Let me know when you get the chance!
Hannah
Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteYes - all downloads available through LSAT Blog are PDFs that you can open and use on any computer you like!
Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to buy the one month and finish up my prep for Dec 3.
Love your blog - its just reaching that point where I need some extra motivation and the articles and study helps have gotten me pumped up and excited about finishing strong.
Thanks! Hannah
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI would like to purchase the Day-by-Day study guide soon in order to start preparing for the June 2012 LSAT. Should I go ahead and order, or do you anticipate making changes to the study guide in the near future? Thank you.
I forgot to mention that it is for the 6-month timetable. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteYou should go ahead and order it now - no changes planned.
Can you tell me which study guide I should buy? I plan to take the test in Feb 2012. I took the oct. 2011 and did not do well. I really just need to start doing Preptest. What's the major difference between one month vs. two month schedules. What do you recommend I do? thanks
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the October test didn't go well. The 1-month schedule is for those studying full-time over that period of time, and the 2-month schedule is for those studying at least 10-15 hours per week over that period of time. I'd recommend the 2-month schedule since we're about 2 months from the February test date. You can always complete extra practice problems if you end up with extra time.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI just found your site today and I am planning to take the Dec 2011 LSAT exam, but I feel extremely under prepared despite of studying and practicing past LSAT exam.
This will be my first time taking the LSAt exam and I am thinking to maybe just skip out getting scored, but go to get a feel for what the actual exam day is like.
Every time I take old LSAT exams all ranging from the 2000s, I've been scoring around the mid 130s to low 140s. I don't feel that is a drastic difference and I don't want my first score to reflect it either. Please help me by recommending useful tips or materials to better prepare me. I am thinking to maybe wait till the Feb 2012 or June exam.
Thanks for all your useful information and advice!
- K
Hi K,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of the trouble. If you're not ready, I'd suggest withdrawing your LSAT registration. The blog is full of tips and materials - poke around and you'll find tons of advice.
Wish you all the best with your prep!
Hi Steve, I was debating between 4-month and 5-month plans .... and came to notice that they differ in prices. why is one more expensive than the other? Is there a difference in quality? I mean, if five-month plan is more detailed and more helpful, I'd get it, but four-month seems more compact and suitable, since I want to leave my last month (for June test) solely for real-setting preptests. I understand it's a tricky question, but I really don't care about the price, I'd rather get something that's better, and that's why I'm asking.. thank you! (And sorry if this question is a bit hard to answer.....) And I'd appreciate if you can answer me soon for I can't wait to jump start right on with your schedule! :)
ReplyDelete@Susan - The 5, 6, and 7-month plans are all slightly more expensive because they give recommendations regarding the use of significantly more material (PrepTests). These schedules also give recommendations regarding the use of full-length PrepTests (about a month), so you don't need to account for that material separately. If you're shooting for June, go with the 5-month plan.
ReplyDeleteSounds great, thank you Steve for answering my question! I'm going to go ahead and get the 5-month plan! :)
ReplyDeletesteve,
ReplyDeleteI took the JUNE 2011 LSAT, didn't score very well (150s), retook OCT 2011 but cancelled. I was workign a professional full time job and barely studied (5 hours max a week). I am going to be studying full time starting Feb in preparation for the JUNE 2012 exam. Which plan should I use?
I'd go for the 5-month (20-week) plan.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on taking the Jun. 6, 2012 test, so I have 18-19 weeks to study if I start soon. Do you think a 4 or 5 month schedule would be more useful? What are the main differences between a 4 and 5 month schedule (seeing as how that's the cutoff for short/longterm study plans)? Thanks a bunch!
@Jennifer - The 5-month plan gives tips regarding a greater number of LSAT PrepTests. If you have a good amount of time on a daily/weekly basis to study, go for the 5-month. If you have many other obligations, the 4-month plan might suit you better.
ReplyDeleteHello Steve,
ReplyDeleteI am planning on re-taking the June 2012 exam. I am not sure what is going because I can not seem to reach anything above a 158 even though I have been taking practice exams for the past 2 months. I realized that taking 3 exams a week is burning me out. I know that my weakness are the logical reasoning and reading comp. I had already purchased a 3 months daily plan a while back. Do you suggest that I purchase the 4 months daily plan as well or just focus on logical reasoning and reading comp since I already know what my weakness are? Do you also suggest that I only take 2 full exams a week since taking 3 exams a week is burning me out? Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Lynn
Steve, I am registered for the June 2012 LSAT and have a solid 4 months to prepare from this point. I am also registered for the full-length powerscore prep course that begins in mid April. Would you still recommend purchasing your 4 month plan to get a head start on my studying? I am making studying my full time job so I have no other priorities until the test. Should I maybe order the 2 month study schedule and then jump into the full-length prep course? What are your thoughts on the two study schedules overlapping for the last two and a half months? I am at the point where I'm ready to stop researching and start studying. But don't want to wait until April to do so. What do you suggest I do to begin the process of studying while I wait for the prep course to come around?
ReplyDeleteEagerly awaiting your reply,

@Lynn - You can use the 3-month plan and focus more on the LR and RC portions of it. And, yes, I'd certainly recommend doing only 2 exams a week if 3 is too much.
ReplyDelete@Claire - Yes, I'd recommend starting with the 4-month plan and doing the first 2 months of it before you start your course. Once the course starts, you can continue with the schedule or do the work assigned in the course (at that point - you'll have a better sense of the areas that you need to focus on).
ReplyDeleteI plan on buying your four month plan. Can you tell me which materials I need to purchase in order to use your study plan? Do I need to purchase preptests 1-60?
ReplyDeleteHi yrgreer, You won't need every single PrepTest. The 4-month plan recommends the use of most exams from 29-present. Other than that, it gives recommendations regarding the use of a wide variety of materials, but the only materials that are truly necessary are the PrepTests.
DeleteSteve, I had a question about your 7-month day by day study schedule. I am retaking the LSAT (planning for October or December) after taking it the first time Oct '11. I do work full-time though, about 40-50 hrs per week, so I'm wondering how much of a commitment per day/week the 7-month plan is. Any help would be great. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteHi Jess, It's meant to be about 10-15 hours/week, but you can feel free to adjust accordingly.
DeleteSteve:
ReplyDeleteI am taking the October, 2012 LSAT and have 29-30 weeks available to study. I work full-time, between 40-45 hours a week. Would you suggest I take the 6 or 7 month day-to-day plan? How do they differ?
Also, I have found several lists of suggested materials to purchase on your blog and am unsure as to what specific materials I will need. Could you possible provide me with a more specific list (Preptest Numbers, Logic Games, Suggested Supplements, etc.)?
Thank you so much for your help.
Natalie
Hi Natalie,
DeleteThe 7-month plan includes suggestions regarding a greater amount of material to complete than does the 6-month plan. I'd suggest the 7-month plan for you.
Each day-by-day plan includes a specific list of recommended materials along the lines of what you asked about. Wish you all the best with your prep!
Steve, I bought your 3 month premium study plan byt ending up not taking the LSAT when I intended. I have now registered for the October LSAT. I was just gonna stretch out the three month plan but wanted to know if there was something else that I could to eliminate me having to purchase another study plan. Thanks for all of your helpful information.
