Recommendation: Follow this 4 month schedule only if you’re studying for the LSAT full-time, or if you’re able to study for several hours each weekend. You might have work/school/life obligations that make this impossible. If that’s the case, skip some of the “re-do” and “review” weeks, and complete the rest at a more relaxed pace.
Month 1:
Review my relevant articles on Logical Reasoning and complete some Logical Reasoning from PrepTests 52-61 ordered by difficulty during the first 4 weeks, untimed.
Week 1: Complete 20-30 of each question type below:
Must Be True + Most Strongly Supported, Necessary Assumption and Sufficient Assumption
Week 2: Complete 20-30 of each question type below:
Strengthen, Weaken, Parallel Reasoning, Flaw in the Reasoning

Month 3:
Week 9: Catch-up and review week. Re-do Logical Reasoning sections from PrepTests 52-61, then re-do the Reading Comprehension passages from PrepTests 52-61. Try to solve them more quickly.
Week 10: Complete the 3 tests in LSAC’s SuperPrep (timed) and review the explanations. Although the explanations are technical, it’s good to learn how the test-makers think. Identify weak areas.
Week 11: Re-read my articles on Logical Reasoning about question-types still giving you trouble. Use my Logical Reasoning categorizations to do question-types in older exams that still give you difficulty. Complete a recent LSAT PrepTest under timed conditions. Review.
Week 12: Complete 3 recent LSAT PrepTests under timed conditions.
Month 4:
Week 13: Complete 3 recent LSAT PrepTests (timed). Splice in sections from another to simulate experimental sections. Review each exam on alternating days.
Week 14: Complete another 3 recent LSAT PrepTests (timed). Splice in sections from another to simulate experimental sections. Review each exam on alternating days.
Week 15: Complete 3 recent LSAT PrepTests (timed). Splice in sections from another to simulate experimental sections. Consider using one section to create a 6-section exam for extra practice. Review each exam on alternating days.
Week 16: Complete 3 recent LSAT PrepTests (timed). Splice in sections from another to simulate experimental sections. (Again, consider using one section to create a 6-section exam). More thoughts on how to simulate the experimental section in this article. Review each exam on alternating days.
Finally, rock the LSAT on Test Day.
