2 Resources and 2 Tips

1. Get real practice exams, this is important! LSAC past exam booklets. They are real questions from past exams...it is essential. Kaplan and Princeton Review practice guides do not contain real exam questions. They use simulated questions of their own creation. You can get the practice exams from lsac.org or ebay too.

There is a blog that offers daily or weekly lsat questions:

2. Kaplan's website has a review of all the testing locations. You dont want crappy proctors, crappy desks that are broken, etc.

3. Time is the next challenge.

I wouldn't time yourself at the beginning. You first need to get comfortable with the questions before timing yourself. Once you know the lay-out of the test, then you can time yourself.

Most people take a timed practice exam cold without any prepping. This gives you an idea of where you stand. However, some people wig out when they do this because sometimes the score is not to their expectations. So finding your score before prepping is up to you and your anxiety.

4. Calm down.
You have a lot of time left to prep. Pace yourself. Make a schedule and stick to it. There is such a thing as studying too much, do not burn yourself out.
