Three Practices to Implement in Your LSAT Prep

If traditional studying won't cut it, how do you train for a top-tier score? Here are three actionable strategies to implement today:

1. Ditch the Clock (For Now)

One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is obsessing over the 35-minute section limit too early. Speed is a byproduct of mastery, not the other way around.

• The Fix: Spend your first few weeks doing untimed drills. Focus entirely on applying the correct logical framework to each Logical Reasoning question. Only introduce a timer once your accuracy consistently hits your target percentage without time pressure.

  
  

2. Embrace "Blind Review"

Taking practice tests is largely useless if you don't extract the lessons from your mistakes. Checking the answer key immediately after a test and thinking, "Oh, right, I see why it's B," is a passive trap that creates a false sense of security.

• The Fix: After taking a test, do not look at the correct answers right away. Instead, go back through every question you were unsure about and solve it again with unlimited time. If your answer changes, figure out why your initial logic was flawed. This agonizing, slow process is where the real brain-rewiring happens.

  
  

3. Argue with the Author

In Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning, passive reading is a death sentence. If you find your eyes glazing over by the third paragraph, you're losing valuable points.

• The Fix: Read aggressively. Anticipate where the author’s argument is going. Look for the gaps in their logic. If someone made this argument to you in real life, how would you dismantle it? Engaging emotionally and critically with the text keeps your brain active and makes the underlying structure of the argument pop out.
