<p>Take this with a grain of salt, as each test-taker is obviously going to be different in terms of schedule, goals, baseline, problem areas, and mentality. Anyway, here's how I studied for the exam:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>As is per standard protocol, I bought the PS Bibles and as many practice tests as I could. I supplemented this with the PS 2004 LSATs Deconstructed book and the PS Logic Games Setup Guide (I just wanted more thorough explanations, and LG was my weak spot).</p></li>
<li><p>I took the September 2007 exam, so I started preparing in mid June. For most of the summer, my schedule was fairly laid back. I would read through the Bibles for most of the week and take about one practice test per week. This really only amounted to about 1-2 hours per night, if that much. </p></li>
<li><p>Starting around late July, I started to get more serious with my studying. On any given day, I would spend approximately 2-3 hours studying, whether that meant reviewing old practice tests' mistakes, reading through the Bibles again, or most importantly (for me), retaking LG sections. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>One thing I did before I really jumped into my practice tests was to make about two photocopies of every tests' LG section. This was an invaluable tool for me in terms of honing my technique and being able to answer questions very quickly. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>For most of August and September, I was in the library for about 3-4 hours a day. I increased the frequency of my practice tests from about one a week to about two per week. I spent a great deal of time reviewing old tests. And when I say I reviewed the tests, I mean I literally went over every single question in the old tests, including ones I'd answered correctly. I picked each one apart and made absolutely sure that I knew why the right answer was right and why all the others weren't. </p></li>
<li><p>After I started scoring fairly consistently within my target range, I decided to push things further. I noted the incorrect answers in the LR sections I'd marked for every test I'd taken thus far (a little more than two dozen tests) and categorized them according to type. After that, I determined which question types were my weak points. Then I took about ten to fifteen fresh tests that I hadn't touched and noted all the questions from the top five or six categories of LR questions I missed most often (there's an online resource somewhere that actually tells you the numbers of the questions in any given test for a given LR question type). With that in hand, I went through drills of my most problematic questions types (i.e. I would sit with a stack of tests and go through every assumption question, every weaken question, etc.). Having gone through those drills, my LR technique definitely tightened up. </p></li>
<li><p>The week before the test, I took three practice tests, one each on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I scored consistently near the top of my range. On Thursday, I did just a little bit of reviewing of LG. On Friday, I didn't touch a thing. On the morning of the test, I went through a few LG just to get my brain jogging. Results of the actual thing? Higher than any of my earlier practice scores.</p></li>
