Students often write and ask about combining the LSAT Bibles when they are self-studying, and I addressed some of those questions here, and we also have a free self-study guide. Recently, a student taking an upcoming LSAT asked about a specific three month study plan. Although our book websites contain general study plans, here’s a more detailed plan for someone starting about 12 weeks out from the LSAT. The plan assumes you have our three LSAT Bibles, our Training Type Series (which includes LSAT PrepTests 1 through 20), and a plethora of actual LSATs, including the SuperPrep and all of the recent exams.

Question Type Relationships: Must be True and Weaken
When approaching Logical Reasoning on the LSAT, I think most students clearly recognize the importance of (1) understanding the unique properties of individual question types, and (2) having dedicated strategies to consistently apply when faced with a particular type of question. That is, the value in knowing how to recognize, say, a Parallel Reasoning question, and then understanding the proper approach to take when attacking Parallel Reasoning. And make no mistake about it: the ability to distinguish different types of questions from one another is crucial to success on test day. However, as important as it is to identify what makes one question type different from another, it is also extremely important to understand the similarities between question types, and that is what I want to discuss here.
Top Five Reasons Not to Prepare for the LSAT
When you go in to take the LSAT, you’ll be surrounded by students who have chosen not to do any significant preparation. This might be surprising given the obvious importance of the test, but we’ve heard a lot of reasons for this questionable approach. Below are just a few.
COMING SOON: Advanced Logic Games Course
Need more assistance with LSAT Logic Games, especially those tough ones that seem to stump everyone? Our new Advanced LSAT Logic Games Course is designed to help teach you how to destroy even the toughest games. Taught entirely by Dave Killoran, the renowned author of The PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible and the PowerScore LSAT courses, the course analyzes the elements that make a logic game difficult, including detailed discussions about understanding game scenarios, rule diagramming, making inferences, answering difficult questions, and applying advanced techniques such as Numerical Distributions and Limited Solution Sets.
The course is taught using our virtual course platform for on-demand access, and includes over 15 hours of lecture time. The foundation of the course is four lessons that teach students to systematically break down LSAT Logic Games and skillfully solve each game they encounter. The concepts in those lessons are explored in detail as Dave analyzes a number of the most difficult games in LSAT history, including the October 1991 Hannah game, the September 1998 Panel game, the June 2000 CD Game, and the June 2009 Dinosaur game, among others. This course is perfect for students who have read the Logic Games Bible or taken any of our LSAT courses, and want to go even further with the material. To view the course syllabus, click here.
Available on September 6th, 2010 on demand and accessible 24 hours a day!
