I took the LSAT in June. However, I only took took two practice LSATs prior to taking the exam. I also took the course online but was lost the whole time because the instructor went too fast for me. Additionally, I didn't go back and finish the questions we had not completed in the course or do the homework. Scored a 134 because I couldn't finish

I plan on taking one LSAT a day until the June 5 LSAT. I went back and listened to the recorded course again because the instructor went too fast for me, read all the explanations for the ones I missed in the lesson & the homework.

I currently have the Official LSAT superprep. And am planning to buy the most up to date previously administered LSATs.

Should I also take some of the LSAT that the course provides so I can see what types of questions I need to study, since they tell you what kind of questions you are getting wrongs?

Suggestions?

Hello saranash1,

That could be helpful. E.g., if you find that you get 95% of Assumption questions wrong, you may say to yourself, "Hmmm! I wonder if I should study Assumption question theory--and practice--some more!!" So it can be good to know what kind of question stem(s) you are dealing with.

Let me say that your hard work and dedication are impressive! Good luck!

Hope that helps,
David

But you would stick with mostly the newest LSATs vs the ones that the online student center provides? Money aside.

Hi saranash1!

I would maybe start with a few of the ones in the student center since you can use the scoring system for them and then really see which question types and sections you need to focus on studying. Analyzing your performance on your practice tests is important if you want to improve. Then you could move on to a couple of the more recent tests.

Also, be careful not to burn yourself out! Doing a practice test a day and taking time to review your tests can be a little grueling so you may want to skip a few days. If anything, be sure to take the Friday before the test off to just relax and get in a good mental space for taking the test on Saturday.

Hope that helps! Good luck studying!
