Which LSAT PrepTests to Start With

zara.j20

Hi everyone!

I've finished my own studying and reviewing of LSAT concepts and am now starting PrepTests. I'm hoping to do around 30-35 tests (however long that may take) in order to improve my score from my diagnostic, which was in the 140s. I was wondering if people had any suggestions on which tests to start with and where to go from there.

Thanks!

Answers are definitely going to vary... I personally started with the oldest (PT 36) and worked my way forward. I wanted to ensure I had solidified my basics before "ruining" newer test. I think it is best to leave the newer tests for closer to when your write. I feel the overall test hasn't changed but specific nuances have, ex: comparative reading passages in newer tests, necessity of reading both speakers in LR stimulus (in newer tests), more intricate grammar in newer tests and possibly a shift in games from "easier" to "medium-medium/hard."
This is just my opinion, but if you intend to get the most out of prep testing don't just generate semi random 3 digits numbers (as in, don't just write a test to see what you score) write the tests with a focus on timing and elements you don't know, then blind review like it is your job, create a concrete foundation and then move to the next test.
Good luck!
