How long should I study for the LSAT?? Is it possible to study to much?

Question

I am planning on taking the LSAT in October and want to start preparing now, but I'm reading its possible to study to much. I have one shot to get the highest score I can, so I want to be as prepared as possible.

Answer 1

It is possible to study too hard, but only if you try to cram it all into the last few weeks, 12 hours a day every day. If you start now, and space your studying out--several hours a day, with a day off here and there--then you will be fine.

If you take a course, that will schedule your prep into something reasonably manageable. On the other hand, if you self study, you just need to set a schedule now and stick to it. Read a bunch of books and take as many real LSATs as possible.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Well, I took a couple of books out of the library (ARCO Master the LSAT 2001 and Princeton Review 2000), read a little of their advice, which I thought was pretty basic and lame, then sat on them for months. The day before the test I took a timed practice exam. I am a good example of what NOT to do in order to feel confident about your score.

Luckily, I scored highly anyway but I could have done much better if I had put some time in, I'm sure.

Answer 3
