Kevin Lin
Want to know what to do every day between now and your LSAT? Our 180-scoring tutors designed this 12-week study plan to guide you through the fundamentals, build your skills, and keep you on track. The best part? We used nothing but free resources.

Before you dive in, we have a few quick tips to get the most out of the plan:
- Always review your mistakes. The most important part of LSAT prep is reflecting on why you missed a question, what makes your answer wrong, and why the correct one is right.
- Lean on explanations. If you’re stuck, you can look up any LSAT question on 7Sage’s free discussion boards to see helpful explanations from tutors and fellow students.
- Drill if possible. The plan often asks you to “drill” specific question types. If you have access to a tool that lets you build custom drills (like 7Sage), great. If not, you can still follow along with a free 7Sage account and LawHub.
