@ thank you so much for your help! I was planning to take the exam in December, but am feeling overwhelmed with how little I am able to practice in the evenings. That's interesting, so you went straight to LG games. Don't certain sections of the CC in the beginning help to enhance your understanding of LG though ? I would agree to work at LG because that was my greatest weakness on my diagnostic.
So if you're a month in you probably already have a basic understanding of the LSAT and how the questions are worded. I like the LG games to start because you can actually see yourself improving immensely. I went from it being my absolute worst section (missing 75%) to my best (missing 2 total on my actual LSAT in June) the trick is to focus on them. Maybe start of LR and work through the Must Be true questions, but after that jump into the LG and follow what I said above. You should be FINE by December. you could spend a month on each section and still have like 45 days to practice test and review. The one thing you should really do though is watch the explanation for every single question you do on LG. even if you zone out a bit while watching its still better than assuming you got the right answer for the right reason when you really made a mistake and got lucky.

I ONLY STUDY 2-3 HOURS A DAY! @ When is your test? I'm assuming that you aren't taking it in September seeing as you have only just started. If you are taking the test in September that is fine, but I would treat it as a dry run in preparation for a later test. I also work 40 hours a week, and I DON'T BELIEVE IN STUDYING 8 HOURS A DAY! I just do 2-3 after work before I watch tv or go to bed.
I encourage you to start with Logic Games. Everyone says you gain the most from that and it's true. (I went from a 142 to a 155 in a month after getting my Games down) Also this eases you into the whole studying/LSAT mentality. Some of the LR stuff can really get you bogged down.
Work your way through a Type of Logic Game by watching the videos in the section, doing the problem sets, and then going to the Question Bank. finish about 10-15 question sets in the bank (I did 5 sets in a sitting, got up to do stuff, and came back the next day or later) and then move on to the next type of games video section in the syllabus. Just repeat that until you have done that for all the games.
Once I mastered all the games. I started on the LR using the same strategy. Do a section of videos, complete the problem sets, and then go to the question bank and knock 15-20 questions until i feel comfortable.
once you've done that. you can start taking practice tests every Saturday morning and reviewing them on Sundays.
Once you finish with LR you move onto the RC section. However you don't do RC every day. You go into a 3 day rotation of RC, LR, and LG. with tests on saturdays and review on sunday.
I suggest 6 months of studying, but give yourself a break. after my first test I took about a month off and then started reviewing again.
Good Luck!
Thanks will do
