I am starting my masters in the fall in psychology. I am thinking about applying to law school after my masters. I just bought a LSAT study book. Does anyone have any tips for studying or which books help them. I don't have enough money to take a course, so it is all study books for me.

I took the LSAT last year using the Kaplan method. I think you can get a lot of the same things from study books.

• First, take the test and figure out your strengths and weaknesses.
• Create a study schedule that is consistent as possible. For example, one week I would study the logic games (my weakness) for 1 hour Monday and Wednesday, reading on Tuesday, vocab on Thursday, break on Friday, and then get up on Saturday and take a full-length test during the hours the test would actually take place.
• Re-examine your strengths and weaknesses every week after your full-length test, because they do change.
• Don't just focus on your weaknesses- make sure you touch every part during the week.
• Take one full-length test a week.
• During the week leading up to the test, take several tests to get the feel of it.
• The day before the test, don't study. You've learned everything you will and now is the time to rest your brain.
• Usually the LSAT is in the morning, so teach your stomach to eat a good breakfast. It'll push you through and give your brain fuel.
• Good Luck!
