Here are some great excerpts from LSAT Diaries where real students write in their advice and success stories. Take a look!
1. "The best way to attack RC...You really have to deeply analyze your wrong answers and find the pattern for why you're getting them wrong. It probably won't be obvious, but if you have someone around you that's willing to look at the answers you get wrong (even getting a tutor for a short time to look at this) that would be helpful." - Ellen, 174
2. "My success on test day came down to being comfortable with the time constraints...accepting my weaknesses and capitalizing on my strengths...Do not be dismayed by low numbers for weeks at a time, or low numbers in certain sections. It can all fall into place after a few months as you gain a holistic understanding of the test material." - Chrissie, improved from 149 to 165
3. "Keep plugging away at games; it's the only way to really get better. I started out working towards 100% accuracy with as much time as I needed, and only tried to cut my time down. I think putting time pressure on yourself before you're really a master is hard. I went from taking 20-25 minutes per game to sometimes 5-6 minutes - with great accuracy." - Caleb, improved from 161 to 171 on LSAT retake
4. "Patience really is the biggest test of the LSAT. It is tedious work, there is no doubt about it. Once you feel yourself improving in your ability to concentrate, you will definitely feel motivated to stay focused." Anthony, improved from 140s to 161
5. "[In Steve's study plan,] the first sections that you are doing are broken up, so at that point you are focusing more on fundamentals. When you get to the full tests, you will be doing the more recent tests, so just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to do those and make them second nature. Keep in mind the differences aren't huge, and you should be able to handle the problems regardless, so the earlier ones are great practice, but you will notice a bit of a change." - Brad improved from 167 to 179
All great advice! And there’s a lot more where that came from. These are just a drop in the bucket of all of the entries in the LSAT diaries, so next time we’re going to read a few more.
