LSAT Preparation

[loayhanthel]

Hi,

I am taking the LSAT in February. I am using Powescore on demand for my preparation. I have an engineering background, and have been out of school for about 10 years. The last exam that I have taken was five years ago, the professional engineering exam.

I took the LSAT pretest before attending any classes or spend any time studying. I got a 136 . On my current plan, I will be done with my on demand course and all the homework a week before the test. I am doing two section a week. I spend about 40 hours studying, and I work full time (Sleep is for the weak lol). I plan on taking the week before the exam off and doing at least two practice tests a day.

I was wondering if it is worth considering signing up for private touring that Powerscore offers? If so, is it better to sign up for the last week so we can go over each test and understand what I get wrong and what concepts I need to concentrate on? Or is it better to sign up for touring now and use the hours as I do my studying to help sink in the concepts?

I plan on getting the 5 hours package and add an hour or two if needed.

Hey loayhanthel,

Thanks for the question! In my opinion, and after having worked with thousands of students, I always think it's better to tutor earlier in the process rather than later. This way the tutor can make sure you are on the right path and not developing any bad habits. If you wait until the last week, if there are corrections and changes to be made, there's no time to let them take hold!

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!

Thank you Dave, I will call and set up the touring this week.

I appreciate your help.
