Hi Tommy,
You are asking all the right questions! We've created a set of free self-study plans that are based on our LSAT Bibles. Each plan is extremely comprehensive, and details the steps you need to take to achieve the best possible LSAT score.

You can review the plans and see which one will work best for you. Some question to ask yourself will be: How much time do I have each day? Do I have any upcoming plans that will slow my progress? For example, if you have a family trip scheduled, you might select the 3-Month Plan and slow it down during the trip or when you encounter concepts that take longer to digest. Or you might select the 4-month plan and go full steam ahead!!
A private tutor can be beneficial, as they will talk with your specific situation and deconstruct concepts with you. They can also help you stay on track. You can schedule weekly or bi-weekly meetings with a tutor to go over specific questions from the last practice test or section in the book. This can be especially helpful when you have a large chunk of time before test day, as it can be easy to get distracted and let a few weeks slide. You know your study habits best! You can choose to do in-person (if available), telephone, or Live Online tutoring (our online learning platform). If you choose not to hire a tutor (and even if you do!), continue to use the Forum. We're glad you're here!
