I just wanted to start off by thanking the staff and others who post in this Forum, it's been super helpful! Even though I've gone through different posts, I think my situation might be a little different. I am planning to take the LSAT in September. I'm dedicating my entire summer to prep for the LSAT, so since May I have solely been focusing on learning the material in the Bibles. I didn't begin my prep by taking a diagnostic test because I wanted to know the techniques and procedures before taking any timed exams. I'm almost done reading all 3 bibles and would like to use the next two months to just practice.
My first concern is that maybe I waited to long to begin practicing. I purchased all 3 workbooks and the training books for Logic Games and Logical Reasoning, but didn't use them at all as I went through the bibles. I don't know if I should use those books on the days I'm not taking practice exams or if I should go through all of them before approaching exams? My second concern is that I won't have enough practice exams leading up to the exam because I intend to start from PT 52 (since it begins to include comparative passages in RC and will allow me to take the most recent exams, PT 82 and 83). I want to practice 4 exams a week (2 timed, 2 untimed). So, should I maybe consider starting from PT 42, even though it won't have the comparative passages in RC and due to time won't allow me to take the very recent exams (PT 82 and 83)? Overall, my biggest concern is not having enough time to master the skills I've learned to get the score I want (a 170). Even though there's two months left, I know that if I put in enough time and effort that I can reach that goal. I'm really worried about not setting up a proper study plan that will help me maximize the the time I have left to prep and also overwhelming myself with too much practice.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance for your help!
