My problem with the LSAT isn't so much that it's difficult, it's that I'm bloody falling asleep doing it. If you ask me, the LSAT is just a whole load of poorly written passages, double negative questions and answers that take way too long to read.
I'm currently in my Singaporean mode of studying- one exam per day. Nothing like test banks. My brain processes this way- since 7th or 8th grade, or what we call secondary school in Singapore. It's four years of preparation for this one GIGANTO exam that you take at 10th grade- equivalent to a high school exit exam here- you know the thing that Bush wants to propose, only way fricking harder. We had and still have these things called the Ten-Year Series. It's ten years worth of the British O' level exam (which is the 10th grade exam we take) and considering the fact that each exam takes about 6 hours to complete and there are 2 papers (i.e.: major sections) per subject, that's a HUGE test bank.
Anyway, so Singaporean study mode = 1-2 exams per day. I'd do maybe the first 2-3 exams open book and then the rest of it closed book, evaluate my wrong answers at the end of each day and then plod along until the day of the exam, which becomes a piece of cake after having spent about 4 years doing the Ten Year series.
So hopefully the same will hold true of the LSAT. I don't intend to put any more effort into it than I am already. Certainly am not paying good money to take the Kap*lan course. Nothing wrong with that course just that I don't want to spend thousands of dollars trying to improve my scores when I can do the same job with no money at all.
