This is great. My tip: don’t spend money on LSAT prep (unless you have no impulse control and can’t learn from a book). Just take practice tests, and when you get an answer wrong, carefully articulate exactly why each of the wrong answers was wrong and the right answer was correct. At least when I took it (17 years ago now) there was always a clearly right answer and three clearly wrong answers. I’ve never seen a single LSAT where that wasn’t the case. During the test you should be able to not only identify the correct answer, but articulate in your head why each other answer is clearly wrong.

Completely agree. Iny experience commercial prep was not of the same quality and the actual LSAT questions and doing actual true historical LSAT practice tests was cheap and effective.
Thanks! And agreed. There is exactly one right answer. And you can learn a lot about the test by figuring out why it was right and the wrong ones are wrong. But I say that with the caveat that it's not "clear" for everyone. I often had students who came up with very convincing but completely incorrect reasons for why they thought the right answer was right.
Absolutely correct.
