Study Practices: What Helps and What Doesn't

Consistency matters more than intensity.

Studying a manageable amount on a regular basis leads to far more improvement than attempting to cram or frequently overhaul your study plan. Results on the LSAT are rarely immediate, and changing approaches too quickly often prevents you from seeing whether something is working.

Blind review is a critical part of skill development.

Simply completing questions or tests is not enough. Blindreview forces you to separate issues of understanding from issues of timing, and it reveals patterns in reasoningerrors that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Scheduled PrepTests should be taken as planned,

even when you do not feel fully prepared. PrepTests serve two purposes: practicing test-day conditions and providing benchmarks over time. Avoid focusing on the scoreitself, whether high or low. The score is a data point, not a judgment. Improvement comes from sustained,thoughtful work, not from reacting emotionally to individual results.

Do not assume that a method or platform will work for you simply because it worked for someone else.

If a resource is not producing results, there is no benefit in remaining loyal to it. Every student's path through LSAT preparation is different, and comparisons are rarely helpful.

Above all, prioritize quality of review over quantity of questions.

The LSAT does not reward memorization. You will never see the same question again. What carries forward is your understanding of the underlying concepts and strategies.
