How to Study?

So I've been studying for the LSAT since May, and after taking the test in August and not scoring well I am back to the drawing board. I began restudying about 2 weeks ago and while I already feel like I'm understanding the test even more this time around, but I want to make sure I am maximizing my study time so that I am actually making progress that translates to increases in my score. 2-3 weeks leading up the the August LSAT I felt really stuck. I was making no progress in my score and it felt like I was doing all I could, but not seeing any results in terms of a score increase.

That said, does anyone have any tips for studying the 2nd time around? Is there anything I should be doing differently? I want to make sure I am getting something out of every study session so that I can start seeing increases in my score.

    Hi!

    I am not entirely sure what you’ve been doing already but I recommend blind reviewing and WAJ.

    Blind review helps you differentiate if you’re getting a question wrong because of timing or if you don’t understand the question type and how to solve it. From that you can see if you need to practice timing more or review the question type and how to break it down into its parts to solve it.

    WAJ I honestly hated doing at first because it was tedious but if you use the template 7sage provides, it helps you analyze (1) why the answer you picked is wrong, (2) why you missed/eliminated the right answer, (3) deciding an action item to prevent future mistakes or improve your strategy to approaching similar questions.

    I also like taking advantage of the priorities analytics 7sage provides. By seeing which questions i’m struggling the most with, I can effectively prioritize my time to my weaker areas. Based on my priorities, I can review the lessons from the core curriculum, do questions specific drills, or attend a live class.

    This is what’s been working for me but everyone’s different!
