Hi, I'm new in this forum.
I'm starting to get ready for the LSAT. I would like to know which book of the bible trilogy should I start studying with ?
How long is the average to spend on each book?
do I study each book with its workbook simultaneously ?
if I want to take the exam by february, how many hours a week should I dedicate to LSAT?


thank you so much in advance :)

Hello lawana,

Welcome to the forum!
You could start with any of the books, although if you started with the Logical Reasoning book, no one would fault you, since LR is half of the scored sections on the LSAT.
As for how long you spend, that varies by each person. You can study with or without a workbook at the same time. And as for how many hours a week, that too varies. 5 might be too little, and 50 might be too much! :-D You don't want to burn yourself out.
Finally, there is some valuable study plan advice at these links, http://students.powerscore.com/self-study/index.cfm and http://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid/153 ... self-study .

Hope this helps,
David

Hi lawana,

Most people start with the LGB or LRB. If all else is equal, start with the LRB since it is 50% of the test! Our self-study site might really help you, since it contains study plans that combine all three books. See: http://students.powerscore.com/self-study/index.cfm. that will show you how to integrate the Workbooks into your studies, as well as practice tests, etc.

As for hours per week, it depends on how much you want to raise your score. 10-15 hours per week is pretty normal though, but if you can do more, it helps!

That's a start, and please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thanks!
