The Lazy Student's Way to Score High in LSAT

The Usual Way To Study For LSAT!

You should focus on two areas.

The Learning Approach:

* The traditional approach

You're in a classroom that is surrounded by peers and teachers, face-to-face. You need someone to talk through and guide through the process. You can ask question and have answers immediately. Among your peers, you could even debate with them for the right answers.

This approach may sound boring to some students. Because the instructors often teach the course over and over again. The purpose is to take note of the statistics on how the students score in the practice. The instructors will also give tips and tricks to work on certain weak areas in order to raise the LSAT score.

If you feel that this approach is for you, go ahead and use it.

* The self-directed approach

Take an online course.

Online course allows you to prepare for LSAT anytime anywhere you choose. All lessons and drills are self-directed. You can take your own time to skip the strong areas and work hard on the weaker areas. Many online classes offer online support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This approach requires self-motivation and self-discipline. Use it if it is suitable for you.

* The personal one-on-one approach

Have a private tutor.

This is for those who're easily distracted by other students. It is usually more expensive. But the tutors can accommodate the schedule for your convenience. It's like a classroom approach except that you're alone with a tutor.

Time Management:

The deadly cause that most students fail in LSAT is the lack of time management and discipline. They often feel rushed to complete all questions before time runs out. Whenever they face difficult questions, they'll spend more time unnecessarily. As a result, they do not allocate sufficient time for all questions equally.

This is never the way to take timed test. Time is a luxury. And every question requires enough time for students to analyze and decide the answer.

If LSAT were not a timed test, majority of the students would be able to answer all the questions accurately. But that's not the realty. You cannot afford to rush for an answer. Neither should you believe that you could have the answer fast.

So, you need a way to discipline your timing. On easy way to achieve this is to simulate an experience as if taking a real examination.

Bring in a timer. Set the amount of time you're allowed for each section. Take the practice like the real test. Make every second counts, and see how well you do.

Your goal is to get the correct answers as many as possible within a time limit. You should also mentally time how long you've taken for each question.

Let's say each question requires 3 minutes. If you take less than 1 minute for an answer but don't feel confident about it, don't jump onto the next question. Make sure you use sufficient time to get the right answer. Also, never spend more than 3 minutes if you're stuck on a question.

TIPS:

Many digital watches come with a timer. Get one that comes with silence mode. It will vibrate when time is up. This is a handy tool when you take the LSAT.

Now, let's get into the crux of this subject.

Why Lazy Students Score High In LSAT While The Smart Ones Fail?

LSAT does not test your knowledge of anything. There's no rocket science involved. Instead, the test is designed to gauge your ability to think in certain critical ways.

It just takes lots of time and practice. You should not wait until the real test is just few months away. Just practice now. It cannot happen overnight. To change the way you think is a demanding and lengthy process. You brain needs more time to change biologically.

Do you still remember the story about the race between a turtle and a rabbit?

The turtle started early and crawled. The rabbit started late and ran. Who's the winner? - You know the answer already.

That's also how the lazy students won. They started early to study for LSAT. They may look slow and incompetent to the smart students. But they spent enough time - 1 to 2 years -- to crack the LSAT code.

Just remember this -

Time is a luxury when you've years to prepare for LSAT. You can take your sweet time to learn well and still be lazy.

But it isn't anymore when you're just a few months away from the test date. You will fail even if your I.Q. is over 200 - regardless how busy and hardworking you are.
