Checklist
LSAT study checklist A logic-first LSAT checklist to build accuracy, diagramming speed, and section endurance across logical reasoning and reading comprehension.
Built for LSAT · Law school applicants training logic and reading speed.

Copy remaining Set your baseline Measure accuracy by section before drilling.
Take one timed section per type Sit a timed logical reasoning and a reading comprehension section to measure real accuracy under the clock. ~105 min Tag misses by question family Sort errors into assumption, flaw, inference, strengthen, and parallel so you drill the family that bleeds points. ~30 min Set a target accuracy goal Pick a realistic per-section accuracy rate and the score band you need for your target schools. ~15 min Blind review every section Re-answer untimed before checking keys; the gap between timed and blind-review scores reveals timing versus understanding issues. ~45 min
Build logic muscle Improve core reasoning with focused drills.
Drill logical reasoning by flaw type Run 10 to 15 questions of a single flaw family, fully reviewing why each wrong answer is wrong. ~60 min Diagram conditional reasoning Practice translating 'if/then', 'unless', and 'only' into clean notation and drawing the contrapositive fast. ~45 min Map reading-comp structure For each passage write the main point, the author's stance, and the role of each paragraph in one line. ~40 min
Simulate and refine Stack sections and test pacing strategy.
Take a timed two-section block Pair two sections back-to-back to build the stamina a full LSAT requires. ~80 min Review skips and time sinks Identify which question types burn time and decide where to invest versus where to guess and move. ~30 min Lock a skip-and-return strategy Set a per-section rule for when to flag a hard question and circle back so you never strand easy points. ~20 min
Peak and polish Full tests, endurance, and test-day readiness.
Sit a full timed practice test Use the real section count and timing to rehearse focus across the entire exam, not just one section. ~175 min Blind-review the full test Re-work every flagged and missed question untimed, then read explanations to close the reasoning gap. ~90 min Build a pre-test routine Rehearse your warm-up, materials, and timing habits so test day feels like a repeat, not a first try. ~20 min
Common mistakes Repeating question types without analyzing why each wrong answer is wrong. Skipping blind review, so you never separate timing problems from understanding gaps. Treating reading comprehension as speed-reading instead of structure-mapping. Ignoring a consistent skip-and-return strategy and stranding easy points. Drilling endlessly without ever taking full timed tests to build endurance. Pro tips Blind-review every section untimed to find whether misses are timing or logic. Keep a one-page flaw and conditional-logic sheet and review it weekly. Diagram conditional statements the same way every time so it becomes reflexive. For reading comp, capture the main point and author stance before the questions. Use timed two-section blocks to build the stamina the full test demands. FAQ How should I start the LSAT study checklist? Start with the first phase, then run one timed Study Spaces sprint before adding more tasks. The goal is execution, not a perfect plan.
What should I do if I fall behind? Copy the remaining tasks, pick the highest-score or highest-deadline item, and restart with one focused block.
How often should I review progress? Review after each sprint and once at the end of the week so the next session starts with a clear first task.

Focus target: LSAT
Block 1 (25 min): closed-book recall or one timed practice set.
Break (5 min): mark confusing items without opening a new task.
Block 2 (25 min): correct misses and write the next first step.
Done: one score/error note plus one queued task for tomorrow.
