September test?

[Ali74]

I bought and read all three bibles, but is still suck. I felt so confident after each chapter I was constantly getting 70% to 80% correct on lessons. However, I just completely bombed a practice test. II have the online weekend course starting this Saturday, and my work books left. I already registered for the September test. Do you have any advice?

Thanks,

Ali

Hi Ali,

Thanks for your question!

The Bibles are a good start, for sure: perhaps the best start to any LSAT prep regimen. But they are by no means sufficient to get you the score you want. As a study tool, the Bibles are static: they don't answer questions, and don't tell you precisely where your weaknesses lie. That's what your instructor is for! The Bibles give you the tools you need to get the score you are looking for, but you still need to learn how to consistently and accurately apply these tools to the task at hand. This takes a ton of additional practice, ideally through a combination of question type training, practice tests, and reviews.

Check out the following study plans utilizing the Bible trilogy:

Since you'll be taking the Weekend course, you need to tweak the plan a little bit. That said, the course will definitely build on your foundation and give you the chance to practice applying the techniques and methodologies introduced in the bibles across a wider range of question types, logic games, etc. After that, it's all practice tests!

For now, don't obsess over your scores. They won't be anywhere near what you expect them to be for awhile, so you're better off focusing on your accuracy for the next few weeks.

Good luck!
