I haven't started studying for LSAT yet but from past experience of studying for university classes I have found Western Classical Music to be a great cognitive enhancer.
I listen to music for motivation before and after studying but not during. I find it distracting regardless on the genre. But I have been trying to do my PTs in a library and with the proctor app with distractions turned up.
yeah I would be weary of studying with music, I mean personally I dont think I could concentrate but thats just me lol, just make sure you dont listen while taking a PT
eh not necessarily, if you get used to music/noise and it happens to be real quiet you'll screw yourself and get crazy distracted by the smallest thing
I would personally go the @"Allison M" route as you want to be training as close to proper test conditions for this exam as possible. That's just me though... you might find music works for you while studying.
