Study Plan: Going through one book at a time v.s. all together

[rragepack]

Hi! I saw that the PowerScore study plans recommended a study plan that works on all three books at once. I have already went through the logical reasoning book and I am currently going through the Logic games book. My question would be is going through the books one at a time less effective than going through the books all at the same time?

Thank you.

Hi rragepack,

Thanks for the post, and good question!

I'll pull a quote from this blog post, https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid-15 ... elf-study/:

While the Bibles can be read in serial fashion, where a student reads one Bible completely before moving on to the next Bible, that is probably not the best approach for most students. A better approach is to read sections of each Bible at a time. For example, a student might start by reading the first six chapters of the Logical Reasoning Bible, then read the first three Chapters of the Logic Games Bible, and then read the first three chapters of the Reading Comprehension Bible, and then return to the Logical Reasoning Bible to complete another section of several chapters. This approach helps break up the tedium that sometimes accompanies studying for the LSAT, and it allows you to take entire practice tests on a regular basis so that you can track your progress in all three section types. Approaching the books in this fashion also gives you the opportunity to catch any area of weakness early on (and if you do find such an area, you can then focus more on the Bible that addresses that section).

So, while we recommend that you approach the Bibles simultaneously for the reasons above, it is totally fine to approach them individually if that's what you prefer or have been doing so far!

Thanks!
