@Nillaw35 since July 2025. I did take a month break in Nov and a week off here and there. Aiming to rewrite this June so will be on this schedule for a bit longer. Looking back at my July scores vs now is what pushes me, just trust the process even if it takes longer than expected.
Hey there! You’re in the same boat as me since I’m able to study full-time. I recommend focusing on quality over quantity studying. The LSAT requires intense concentration, so long hours of passive studying won’t help as much as active studying.
I try to keep my study time between 2 and 4 hours a day. Anything more than that, and I feel like I’m doing more harm than good because I loose focus (Also have ADHD). I study five days a week, which includes drilling, (BR), section drills, WAJ. On the sixth day, I take a full PT, and then I take one full day (sometimes 2) of rest with NOTHING related to the LSAT (this prevents burnout).
My diagnostic score was 141, and I just hit 164 last week. I’m aiming for the 170s, and this study schedule is really what helped increase both my score and my focus. Everyone is different though but I hope this helps!
@McKennaHale I feel you. I was stuck in the 140s for two months. What helped was building a solid understanding of the different question types and developing a clear strategy for how to approach each one. Once you get those down, each section starts to feel more mechanical and less overwhelming.
Once you get out of the 150s, it’s really about reviewing and deeply understanding the questions you got wrong. For every question you miss, one of two things happened: you either didn’t choose the right AC, or you picked a trap answer. Figure out how to eliminate those two mistakes, and you’ll see a lot of improvement.
