<p>In preparing for the LSAT, would you guys recommend buying one of the large compilations of 50 LSATs and studying those or would it be in my best interests to focus solely on taking full-length practice tests? Put differently, what is the best way to study for the LSAT. What way affords students the most success on this all-important test?</p>
<p>I got a 179 and I just studied every book I could get my hands on. Sometimes I did a full practice test to ensure good pacing and build stamina. Other times I just worked problems before going to sleep at nite, knocking out half a section or whatever just to keep focused and in practice. Sometimes I would just work a single timed section. So just practice as much as possible to keep the material flowing through ya so that by exposure you pick out the patterns and gain the comfort to work them quickly. </p>
<p>Also, make sure that you take advantage of books that actually discuss why things are right and wrong. For some questions, its easier to cross out the 4 options that you know are WRONG than to find a single one that looks right. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Definitely. A lot of the times, all of the answer choices the LSAT gives for a given question are really bad; in such a circumstance, your best bet is to choose the one that is least bad.</p>
