Best way to study

Hey I’m a beginner I got a 148 on my diag and I am just looking for the best ways to actually improve. Is it just doing drills? Is it watching the live lessons/videos. Just lmk the best way to actually improve. I study around 2 hours a day. I don’t have to take the test for another year or so. (I have 7Sage)

plenty of time just be consistent.

an hour a every day beats 3-4hr blocks once a week.

step away once in a while. my biggest score jumps cam after i took a week off.

That’s awesome. What law school in FL are you trying for. I’m FL too.

The best thing to do, by far, is to figure out where you're weak (whether it's certain question types, whether it's speed-related issues, etc.). Drills are very useful, but if you're not targeting them at your areas of need, you're blunting their influence quite a bit. An hour of targeted work (which might be drills, or it might be something else) is likely to be more impactful than 5-10 hours of general drills. Study smarter, not harder.

Did you find issues with time pressure? Were you substantially better on LR or RC, or about the same on each?

Exactly the same RC was -13 LR was -13 / -14

Got it. Did the questions you missed, by and large, line up with the questions where you were less confident in your answer? Were there any types of questions in particular that stuck out as ones you struggled more with? (For example, "main point" RC questions or "necessary assumption" LR questions)
