If you have already taken the LSAT, analyze your results and note the sections where your percentage was lowest. Note whether your low scores were due to wrong answers or running out of time; this information will help guide your study strategy.
Take a full-length practice test at home with no timer. You may purchase or download official LSAT tests from past years on the Law School Admission Council, LSAC, website. Whether you have taken the LSAT before or not, you will be better at some question types than others. Create a list of question types you need to improve on, ordered from weakest to strongest.
Start practicing at least a few weeks before your test date. Focus on one question type at a time, starting with those you find most difficult. Try to identify where your problems lie -- do you misread the question, fail to eliminate the incorrect answers or make logical errors?
After each question, refer to the solutions and compare your answer. Practice books which explain problem-solving methods can help you develop the necessary skills for each type of problem.
To get a good score on the LSAT, you must answer questions correctly at top speed. Have a timer nearby as you study to help gauge how fast you are moving. Compare your speed at different types of questions to optimize your test-day strategy. For instance, if you are particularly slow at some problems, it may be expedient to skip them at first and save them for the end.
Take full-length, timed LSAT practice tests in the weeks leading up to your exam. These exams will help you estimate your score and eliminate test-day anxiety.
Before you take the LSAT, be sure that you are completely ready. Show up to the test center healthy, well-rested and relaxed to get the highest score possible. Some students enroll in test preparation courses or hire LSAT tutors to supplement their study. If you have the resources to afford these services, they provide extra assistance and motivation to help raise your LSAT scores.
