Yes, not everyone needs to study excessively but I'd argue that it is a good use of the finite time you have. I have alot to say about this topic so if your interested in a more in-depth or part 2 into the change from studying roughly 1 hour a day to 4 hours a day or on to improve your score I can make a post and give the raw truth into the process. If you consider every minute you spend studying today as hundreds of dollars/days SAVED of working in the future it becomes a no-brainer to work your ass off now. If you plan to go to law school it will cost money. Was able to study 4 hours a day by setting an alarm at 5:45 am and beginning LSAT at 7:00 am-10:10 am which is before my 10:30 am class. Score drastically improved to 169, 166, and tested 173( was a previous test i took in the past so I had insight to the harder questions on what to look for). I Began studying 4 hours a day every day since the beginning of February by taking a practice every other day, and blind reviewing.

If a better score equals a better scholarship it pays to work your ass off.

Realized that this is not enough and changed my mindset. Was in school so i did this after zoom classes. The study routine was a prep test once a weekend off khan academy and their drills on the weekdays leading up to prep test day and finally reviewing the mistakes post-test on weekend. Stagnated to testing 154's to 157 until October 2020. Post prep book scored around 150 in august 2020.

I began with Diagnostic score of 143 in July 2020 after reading 3 chapters of the prep book. See the mistakes, learn from them, reference your prep book for more information on struggling concepts, google questions to see expert answers if you can't figure it out, and repeat. Read the prep book and do the exercises, take practice tests, circle unsure questions, don't check answers to view your score and just blind review the questions you circled and then check answers. You are better off at first beginning prep with a LSAT prep book ( I read cover-to-cover The LSAT Trainer) and then start taking practice tests.
