Working Professional LSAT Plan
Full-time job, 60–90 minutes a day. A 16-week arc built for mornings or evenings, not weekends lost.
Who this template is for
You work full time and can give the LSAT about an hour a day: before work, after dinner, or on lunch breaks. This plan trades intensity for streak: small daily sessions beat weekend marathons you will skip.
Phase by phase
-
Weeks 1–5: Fundamentals in small bites
- One lesson or one short drill set per day, 60 minutes.
- LR argument structure and conditionals first. Everything else builds on them.
- RC fundamentals on two days a week.
-
Weeks 6–11: Untimed drilling
- One question type per week, drilled in daily 60-minute sessions.
- Weekends: one longer session (90 min) for blind review of the week’s work.
- Wrong-answer journal after every session: one line per miss.
-
Weeks 12–14: Timed work
- Two timed sections per week, done on weekend mornings when you are fresh.
- Weekday sessions stay untimed: weak-type cleanup only.
- One full practice test in week 14 (take the morning off if you can).
-
Weeks 15–16: Review and taper
- Week 15: journal review, final weak-type touch-ups, one more full test if week 14 went well.
- Week 16: light review the first few days, then rest.
- Protect your sleep the whole way. A tired hour of study is worth less than nothing.

Rules for this template
- Same time every day. The streak is the plan.
- Never double up a missed day. Skip it and continue.
- Timed work goes on weekend mornings. Tired evening timing practice teaches bad pacing.
