Self study:

Many students successfully study for the LSAT on their own using preparation books (see below for a list of commercial vendors who publish LSAT prep books) and practice tests. This option requires strong time management skills and the ability to learn from reading and practice.

Be sure to review the full exams in detail, both the questions you have wrong and the questions you have answered correctly. It is important to understand each question and why each answer option is true or false. Continue the time-bound practice exams during your studies to complete your improvement. If you are not making progress, find an alternative study strategy, including preparation courses.

Consider joining or forming an LSAT study group. Sometimes it is very useful to review questions with other students, especially if you can find other student with strengths that are different from you.
