Most LSAT students focus on taking as many practice tests or sections as possible, believing that volume leads to improvement. But here’s the truth: your LSAT score won’t improve just by taking more practice tests—it improves through targeted review. If you’re not carefully analyzing your mistakes, you’re leaving points on the table.
Many students rely on methods like 7Sage’s Blind Review, which encourages reattempting uncertain questions after finishing a section. However, this approach has a critical flaw: it allows you to move forward without full confidence in your answers. At JurisPrep, we take a different approach—one that prioritizes certainty over completion, leading to faster, more effective score gains. Here's how it works.
You should aim to complete a timed section every day, followed by a careful review of your wrong answers. By careful review, we mean you should redo the questions you got wrong—without looking at the correct answer or your original choice (to the best of your ability). If you're familiar with the 7Sage Blind Review method, you'll notice that our approach differs significantly. Under the 7Sage method, you're encouraged to flag any questions you’re unsure of, complete the section, and then return to those flagged questions for another untimed attempt.
The biggest issue with this approach is that it tacitly accepts uncertainty—you move on to the next question without being completely sure of your answer. That is a fundamentally flawed approach. You should almost never move on to another question unless you're 100% certain you picked the correct answer. It’s better to confidently answer 14 questions and guess on the rest than to complete all 25–27 questions but be unsure about five of them.
This means you should feel shocked if you get a question wrong—unless it’s one you didn’t have time to attempt. Repeat each incorrect question without time constraints and stick with it until you reach 100% certainty that you’ve found the correct answer.
The review process is the most essential part of LSAT prep. You can take as many practice sections as you want, but if you don’t review your mistakes properly, you won’t improve. Think of it this way: the timed sections provide data, but the review process is what actually drives improvement.
Since each section takes 35 minutes, you should budget about an hour total for both the timed section and review. That should be your baseline for daily studying. If you have extra time or motivation, we recommend using LSAT Demon’s drilling feature, which scales questions and passages to your ability level with remarkable accuracy.
Another key part of this approach is taking strategic rest days to prevent burnout and using sections from the same test until you’ve completed all of them. If you’re using LSAT Demon, you can combine the sections at the end of the week to see what your score would have been if you had taken the test all at once.
Here’s an example of how to structure your study week:
Monday: PT 150, Section 1 → Review wrong answers → Drill in LSAT Demon if time allows.
Tuesday: PT 150, Section 2 → Review wrong answers → Drill in LSAT Demon.
Wednesday: PT 150, Section 3 → Review wrong answers → Drill in LSAT Demon.
Thursday: PT 150, Section 4 → Review wrong answers → Drill in LSAT Demon.
Friday: Meet with your JurisPrep LSAT Coach to discuss problem areas, question types you struggle with, strategy refinements, or whatever is the most strategic use of your time.
Saturday & Sunday: Rest days—no LSAT work.
Monday: Start a new test (PT 151, Section 1), and repeat.
This schedule is flexible. Rest days don’t have to be consecutive, and if life happens, taking a few extra days off won’t erase your progress. Burnout is your biggest enemy, so do what feels sustainable while trying to follow this structure as closely as possible.
If you stick to this schedule and pair it with weekly strategy sessions, we are fully confident you’ll see rapid progress.
As you can see, mastering the LSAT isn’t just about taking more practice tests—it’s about reviewing them the right way. If you’ve been relying on Blind Review, you may be reinforcing uncertainty rather than building confidence. By shifting to a certainty-based review process and following a structured study schedule, you’ll make real progress, avoid burnout, and see consistent score improvements.
