4-Week LSAT Sprint
One month to test day. For students already scoring near their goal who need polish, not a rebuild.
Who this template is for
Your diagnostic or recent practice test is within about 10 points of your goal. You know the question types. What you need is timed reps, weak-type drilling, and a clean taper. Not new concepts.
Phase by phase
-
Week 1: Find the leaks
- Take a full timed diagnostic (or reuse a recent full test as your baseline).
- Grade it and sort every miss into: did not know how (knowledge), ran out of time (pacing), or careless (focus).
- Re-read the fundamentals lessons for your two worst question types only.
-
Week 2: Timed sections
- Two timed sections per week (one LR, one RC), graded the same day.
- Blind review every flagged question before you check the key.
- Keep a wrong-answer journal: one line per miss on what you will do differently.
-
Week 3: Attack the weak types
- Three untimed drill sets on your weakest LR types plus one RC passage set.
- One more timed section mid-week to check pacing fixes.
- Stop learning new material after this week. Nothing new in week 4.
-
Week 4: Taper
- One full practice test early in the week, reviewed the next day.
- Light review only for the last 3 days: flashcards, wrong-answer journal, one short drill.
- Two nights of real sleep before test day. No cramming.
Your week, on repeat
| Day | Focus |
|---|---|
| Monday | Timed section (35 min) + grade |
| Tuesday | Blind review flagged questions |
| Wednesday | Drill set: weakest type (untimed) |
| Thursday | RC passage set or fundamentals re-read |
| Friday | Timed section (35 min) + grade |
| Saturday | Wrong-answer journal review + light drill |
| Sunday | Rest |
Rules for this template
- Drills stay untimed. Timed sections reveal problems; untimed drilling fixes them.
- Every timed section gets blind review before the key.
- Score every full test and record it. Watching the number move is the motivation system.
