How to prepare for LSAT?

<p>I am going to study for LSAT. There are tons of books helping you to prepare for it. Can you suggest some to me?</p>

<p>Buy PowerScore's Logical Reasoning and Logic Games Bibles. Also, pre-order PowerScore's Reading Comprehension Bible, slated for release in early September. Other than that, buy as many tests as you can. About 50 of them are available. Shoot for at least 20-30 tests to get adequate practice. With all of that in hand, develop a rigorous and structured self-study plan. That should do it.</p>

<p>What is the amount of time, in hours or weeks/months, that proved to be sufficient in preparing for LSAT?</p>

<p>Varies wildly. Take your diagnostic, if you get a 165, not so long. If you get a 145, months.</p>

<p>LSAT 180 is a great book...I forget who makes it but I found it really helpful. Take a diagnostic before you start your prep so you understand your weaknesses...for example if you're acing the reading comp and LR sections, maybe you'd be best served by just buying a book devoted solely to logic games and another with entire practice tests.</p>

<p>Thanks for all your advice. Now I have got the idea that three bibles should be essential. Then get tests as many as possible, such as LSAT 180. Suppose I am going to spend 2 hours every day on lsat, how long do you think I can finish the three bibles?</p>

<p>Personally, I didn't find Kaplan's LSAT 180 all that helpful. True, the problems in the book are very difficult, but most (if not all) of the problems are written by Kaplan themselves. This fact in itself should make you wary. I hold to the philosophy that the only good way to prepare for the test is to practice with actual problems; third-party questions, no matter how difficult, just don't accurately simulate what you'll be facing. </p>

<p>As for spending 2 hours a day on the test, it depends on which test you're planning on taking, how you're scoring right now, and what your goal is. If you're aiming to take the October exam, I'd say you're cutting it close. Two months of studying, even at 2 hours a day, is probably not enough if you're aiming high. Then again, I don't know your circumstances. More details would be helpful.</p>

<p>When dose one start studing for the lsat freshman or junior yr of college?</p>

<p>Freshman year is far too early to start worrying about/preparing for the LSAT. Most applicants take the test either in the summer before senior year or in the fall/winter of senior year. Prepare accordingly.</p>
