Self-study
I recently started studying for the LSAT, and I feel behind and like I don't have a sense of direction. I have been following along with the 7Sage study plan that they have created for me, and I am currently still in the foundations section of the plan. I feel like maybe I should be drilling or doing some form of practice tests, but I also don't want to study the incorrect way.
What does everyone recommend? I do not have a set time that I want to take the LSAT, and I work a full-time 9-5, so I am unable to study 4 hours a day like I have read some people do. I unfortunately do not have a lot of law connections, so this whole process is sort of daunting.
Any help/recommendations would be great. I am trying not to get discouraged.
Thank you!!

Take drills after lessons. Could be just targeted for the question type your lessons were about, or just random drills. It's important to practice what you learned in lessons right away. Even an hour a day is just fine. I also work a full 9-5, most workdays i didn't spend more than 2 hours studying, and I'd say its worked out quite well for me.
Hi friend! First of all, kudos to you. I also work a 9-5 with little to no law connections whatsoever and am going through the same process right now, so I understand you completely. I will say, I felt the same way when I first started studying in January, but trust the process! I did get a little stir crazy and would sometimes do quick drills after foundations for practice, and I found that it really helped me see problems in real-time conditions, but everyone is different. I just took the April exam and am planning on taking it again in June, and even now I am going back to the foundation recap videos when I miss things because they are so so helpful. Said all that to say good job, and eventually you will get your flow and what works for you!
I would stick with the plan they have set out! The foundations are very important - I would suggest focusing on that and taking notes. Once you get past it and into the question type modules, it will have lessons and drills for you to practice with after each lesson. It may seem like the foundation takes forever but it is VERY important and will making drilling/answering questions easier
@BlueeTulip Thank you!!
