Self-study
Hey everyone,
I just started studying for the LSAT today and I'm looking for a good wrong answer journal template. Does anyone have one they'd be willing to share, or know of a thread/resource that has a solid template?
For context, I took a diagnostic and scored a 139. My goal is to reach the 160s by the fall, so I'm trying to build good habits from the start and make sure I'm reviewing effectively.
For those of you who use a wrong answer journal, I'd also love any tips on how you actually use it. What information do you track? How often do you review it? What made the biggest difference in helping you improve?
Any advice from people who started in a similar score range and made significant gains would be especially appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hey there!
The most important thing about a WAJ is that it's in a format/depth that you'll actually use :)
That being said, some good things to include:
Question PT #, Section #, Question #
Question Type Tags
Answer You Chose
Why did I choose this answer?
Why is this answer wrong?
Correct Answer
Why is this answer right?
How will I approach a question like this in the future? Be specific.
Studying for the LSAT is about training your brain to think a certain way. Understanding why you chose the answer you did, and why that doesn't work, is paramount.
Different people will review to different extents. Some people find they get the most out of making entries, and rarely review. Other people like to go over theirs weekly. You'll find the rhythm that works for you!
I hope that helps, and happy studying!
@PhoebeHopp thank you so much!
