How to balance LSAT prep with your life

Studying for the LSAT is can feel pretty pointless sometimes, so taking breaks is one fo the most important things you can do to relieve some of that tension. It’s too easy to get burned out studying for this stuff, and you aren’t doing yourself any favors if you’re mentally exhausted before you even sit down in the Test Center.

(Speaking of the Test Center, did you read my last article about checking it out beforehand? If not, read this.)
A weekly LSAT study schedule:

This isn’t one-size-fits all, but I’ve used it, and it’s worked for many of my students, too.

Bottom line, as always: find what fits your life.

* If you work full-time or go to school full-time, 15 hours per week of LSAT studying over the course of 4 months is a good start.

Here's how you might fit it in over the course of the week:

-5 hours on Saturday
-2.5 hours per day, Mon-Thurs
-0 hours on Friday
-0 hours on Sunday

* If you work part-time or go to school part-time, 20 hours per week of LSAT studying over the course of 3 months might be a good guideline.

Here's how you might fit it in over the course of the week:

-5 hours on Saturday
-3.75 hours per day, Mon-Thurs
-0 hours on Friday
-0 hours on Sunday

So there you go, hopefully that gives you a good starting place.

Wanna know more? Of course you do! Here's an article that covers this with more details.

This is all well and good, if you’re just at the beginning of your LSAT prep, but what if your test is just around the corner?

In that case you’re in luck! Because my next article is going to focus on some great last minute tips I’ve developed (and may have used myself)

Stay sane out there!
