One Month Attack Plan for LSAT!!

[utpalbarman]

Hi PowerScore folks,
I am engineer working in an Telecom company for 12 year and from last year working on patent infringement from engineering side and now interested in Patent law and planning to give LSAT on Dec 2nd,2017. With full time work and a (4year & 2 year old) boys time management has been tough but i am trying my best. I have finished LR and LG bible and practicing now and trying to come up with a plan that will allow me to score around 70% in LSAT and was wondering if you folks have any suggestion or plan i can use to optimize my efforts for the best score i can achieve. Any hints will help.

Thanks
utpal

Hi, Utpal,

Sounds like you're describing my life! Effective time management for the LSAT is difficult even under ideal circumstances, much less with work and family. I'd advise you to begin with our one-month self-study plan:

However, now that Volume VI of the "actual, official LSATs" is out, I'd pick that up instead of those tests à la carte. Since time is at a premium, you might want/need to cut the practice tests down to two a week instead of three. Make sure that you have sufficient time to analyze your work and identify strengths and weaknesses for targeted review.

Make sure you're spending about 60-90 minutes a day on the LSAT (on days when you're not doing prep tests). Try to spread your preparation out as much as possible, but go for quality time, i.e. don't take a prep test at 9 pm after you've been working all day and just finally got your kids to go to sleep. It's better to do half an hour when you're awake and alert than it is to do 90 minutes when you're bleary-eyed and exhausted.

If you aren't able to get to everything, make sure at least that you're rock solid on the fundamentals: all the core LR skills and common flaws; a consistent, replicable RC approach; and a confident, methodical plan of attack for games.
