Free 12-Week Plan
The 170+ LSAT study plan.
Twelve weeks. Diagnostic to test day. Built entirely around the 2026 format — two LR sections, one RC section, and the take-home Writing sample.
01 · Weeks 1–2
Diagnostic + Foundations
Take the free diagnostic. Identify your bottom-2 question types. Learn the flaw taxonomy cold.
02 · Weeks 3–4
LR by Question Type
Drill assumption, flaw, and strengthen/weaken. 20 questions per type, untimed, with written distractor logs.
03 · Weeks 5–6
RC Structural Reading
Four passages per day. Map main point, viewpoint, counterview, and scope in under 2 minutes per passage.
04 · Weeks 7–8
Timed Sections
One timed LR section daily. One timed RC section every other day. Review every question.
05 · Weeks 9–10
Full-Length Simulations
Two full-length practice tests per week under strict test-day conditions. Log every miss.
06 · Weeks 11–12
Peak & Taper
One final simulation. Otherwise, review-only. Cut new content. Protect sleep. Trust the work.
Hours per week
Plan on 15–20 focused hours per week. Consistency beats intensity — a daily 2-hour session outperforms a 14-hour Saturday cram every time. Anchor each week around a fixed timed test-day simulation so your calendar can't drift.
What to skip
Skip vocabulary lists, memorized templates, and full timed sections before you've drilled the fundamentals. They feel productive and aren't. Question-type drilling — starting with necessary-assumption questions, flaw identification, and strengthen prompts — is the highest-ROI activity for months one and two.
Tracking your score
After each timed section or simulation, convert your raw total using the LSAT scaled-score calculator, and re-check whether your current trajectory matches the target score for your law schools.
