Starting to Study Again

[elizabethme]

Hi, I don't know if there is another post that has this info in it, I couldn't find any - but I took the July test and didn't get the score I was looking for. I am starting now to re-study and was wondering what the best method would be for getting ready for the August test and getting back into studying without burning out.

Thanks!!

I am doing the same thing, but retaking in November. What I have found to be working best for me is just doing a little in the morning and in the afternoon (maybe an hour or two and increasing amount of time each day). Reviewing the LR Bible and doing a couple LG. I have also begun taking apart the LR stimuli (Conclusion and premises) and prephrasing the correct answers (which I didnt really nail down my first go round). I also will be investing in a tutor in a couple weeks after I have fully reviewed everything and have the basics refreshed in my mind.
Hope this helps a little!

Good luck studying and on your next LSAT!

Hi Elizabethme!

Thank you for the question and I am sorry to hear that you did not get the score that you hoped for on the July test. The good news is that you still have 3 weeks to get back in the saddle and prepare to crush the August exam. If you are committed to the process, the information in this article should help you approach the retake in a different manner than your last attempt: Retaking the LSAT? What to Do Differently to Raise Your Score (https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/retaki ... our-score/ ).

If you begin to experience LSAT burnout, don’t be afraid to include liberal breaks in your schedule. Taking brief vacations from the LSAT every now and then to recharge and refresh can be beneficial to help reduce burnout. Often when you come back after a couple of days, you’ll find that you are actually better than you were before. If your lower score was unexpected and you stopped studying after taking the July test, then this unintentional break may lead to a score increase when you begin studying again. It’s also important to make your study time as efficient, effective, and fun as possible. There are some excellent tips in this blog post for achieving this: How to Make Your LSAT Prep Efficient and Fun (https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/make-y ... t-and-fun/ ).
