  1. 1Foundations

    4 weeks

    Learn the question types and what each one asks. Untimed, accuracy only.

    Each session: 10–15 questions untimed, then write out why every wrong answer was written.

  2. 2Type mastery

    5 weeks

    Work type by type, weakest first, until each one has a method you can state out loud.

    Each session: One type per session: a set, then written review naming the trap on every miss.

  3. 3Timed practice

    2 weeks

    Apply the method under the clock. Accuracy first, then speed — never the reverse.

    Each session: One timed section, then blind review of everything you flagged.

  4. 4Full-length and taper

    1 week

    Whole tests for stamina, mixed review, and no new material in the final week.

    Each session: A full-length or a mixed timed set, with a long review the following day.

This divides the time you have into phases. It is not a prediction — no plan, course or app can tell you what score you will get, and anyone who does is guessing. How to actually use a schedule.

Keep this plan

A schedule can divide your weeks. It cannot know which questions you get wrong — so every session above says “practice” without saying what. An account fills them in from your own results, and puts the ones you miss back in front of you later, spaced, so a fix does not quietly come undone.

Save this plan

The plan above stays free and stays here. Nothing you just built is behind this.

Why it plans behavior instead of hours

“Study LSAT, 2 hours” is a plan that cannot be failed and cannot be followed. It does not say what you will do, so on a tired evening it collapses into re-reading explanations you already agree with — which feels like work and changes nothing.

Each phase above names the activity instead: what a session contains, and what you do with the questions you got wrong. That specificity is what makes a plan survive a bad week.

Review is half of every session, not a phase at the end

You will notice there is no “review week”. That is deliberate. Review is the part of every single session that moves the score, and scheduling it as a block at the end reproduces the most common mistake in self-directed prep — doing questions until the exam and reviewing them almost never.

Ten questions reviewed properly beat sixty answered on autopilot. That is not encouragement; it is the difference between rehearsing the approach you already have and changing it.

Common questions

How many hours a week should I study for the LSAT?
Enough that three or four sessions fit in a week, because spacing beats duration — four 45-minute sessions retain more than one three-hour block. The generator takes whatever you can genuinely commit rather than prescribing a number you will not hit.
How far in advance should I start studying?
Most people study over months rather than weeks, and the ones who move furthest tend to have started early enough that they were not choosing between rushing and postponing. Cramming works badly here — the exam rewards reading and reasoning habits that form slowly.
How much of my study time should be review?
About half. Doing questions is the part that feels productive so it expands to fill the session, and review gets what is left. But questions you got right teach you little, and questions you got wrong teach you only if you work out why.
Will this plan get me a specific score?
No, and nobody can tell you that. This divides your available time into phases and says what belongs in each. Any tool promising a number is selling the promise.
