I am taking the LSAT in June and started studying last Monday. My study preferences currently are M-F, 4-6 hrs/day, and Comprehensive.

My original goal was to study 4 hrs/day for 20 hrs/week and I have found that while the grand total time for each day equates to around 5 hours, it is more like 7+ with taking notes, bathroom breaks, etc. and I am struggling to have enough time in the day to get everything done.

I have also noticed that often with the lesson videos that if there is an explanation for something being correct that I understand and then the instructor gives a bunch of hypothetical reasons of why something would not be correct, it ends up confusing me the more I watch.

Should I reduce my study plan to 2-4 hrs/day and/or change from Comprehensive to a different plan type?

I have approx. 5.5 months until the exam, so I know I could probably reduce my study time and still be just as prepared, but I am wondering if there is a better study plan than Comprehensive for me to use.

    I think you should give yourself grace and study so you don't burnout. I personally use the pomodoro method when studying and the focus app because it allows for breaks. I turn on YT and use Jay studies or Merve. Basically with pomodoro, you study 50 minutes then take a 10 minute break. They also have 30/5 or any amount of minutes you want to use.
