LSAT study plan without Logic Games
Logic Games left the LSAT in August 2024, so the test is now mostly Logical Reasoning plus Reading Comprehension. This prompt has your todo.is agent plan your months around that format, drill the question types you miss, schedule timed practice tests and remind you about the LSAT Argumentative Writing sample.
The prompt
- Make me an LSAT study plan. My test is in [TEST MONTH] and my goal score is [GOAL SCORE]. My first timed practice test was [DIAGNOSTIC SCORE] and my weakest areas are [WEAK AREAS]. I can study [WEEKLY HOURS] hours a week. Use the current format (two Logical Reasoning sections, one Reading Comprehension, one unscored section). Plan by question type, add a timed practice test every week from week 4 using LSAC LawHub (with links), and a blind review after each. Remind me to finish the LSAT Argumentative Writing sample before applying. Send an Excel plan and a weekly summary every Friday at 17:00 on WhatsApp.
What to change
- [TEST MONTH]: E.g. "January". Plan to apply early in the cycle if you can.
- [GOAL SCORE]: E.g. "168". Check the median LSAT of the schools on your list.
- [DIAGNOSTIC SCORE]: Your first timed practice score, e.g. "152".
- [WEAK AREAS]: E.g. "flaw and assumption questions, science passages". Or "not sure yet".
- [WEEKLY HOURS]: E.g. "15". Many people study 3 to 6 months at this pace.
Example result
- LSAT plan: 14 weeks, 152 to 165
- Test: January · Weak: flaw, necessary assumption, comparative passages · 15 hours a week
- Format (since August 2024)
- • Four 35-minute sections: two Logical Reasoning, one Reading Comprehension and one unscored section that can be either type
- • Scored 120 to 180
- • LSAT Argumentative Writing: a separate, unscored essay done online. Schools receive it, so finish it before you apply.
- Phase 1, weeks 1 to 4: learn the question types
- • Logical Reasoning makes up about two thirds of your score, so start there
- • For every argument: find the conclusion, the evidence and the gap between them
- • Order: main point, flaw, necessary assumption, sufficient assumption, strengthen, weaken, inference, parallel
- • Reading Comprehension: 2 passages a day. Write a 5-word summary for each paragraph and the author's view.
- Phase 2, weeks 5 to 10: timed sections
- • One timed PrepTest every Saturday on LawHub
- • Blind review on Sunday: redo every question you were unsure about, untimed, before checking answers
- • Weekday drills: 15 questions of your two weakest types
- • Comparative passages: note how the two authors agree and differ before answering
- Phase 3, weeks 11 to 14: test conditions
- • Two PrepTests a week, at the same time of day as your real test
- • Timing: aim to finish the first 10 Logical Reasoning questions in about 10 to 12 minutes, leaving time for harder ones
- • Last full test 4 days before the exam
- Blind review example
- • Section 2, Q18 (necessary assumption): picked B under time, D on review. Lesson: negate each answer; if the argument falls apart, that is the assumption.
How to do it with todo.is

Tips for a better result
- Blind review is where most improvement happens. Do not skip it after a timed test.
- Use only post-2024 sections or LR and RC sets from older tests. Skip Logic Games entirely.
- Learn conditional logic once ("if A then B" means "not B, then not A"). It shows up across Logical Reasoning.
- If you stall for two weeks, ask your agent to move you back to untimed accuracy work for a week.
LSAT study plan: FAQ
- How long should I study for the LSAT? Many test takers study 3 to 6 months at 10 to 20 hours a week. A large score jump usually needs the longer timeline.
- Does the LSAT still have Logic Games? No. Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) was removed in August 2024. The scored sections are now two Logical Reasoning and one Reading Comprehension.
- Is the LSAT Writing sample scored? It is not scored, but it is sent to the law schools you apply to, so write it with care.
- Can todo.is explain LSAT questions? Send a screenshot of a question and your answer, and your agent explains the reasoning. Use official LSAC materials for the questions themselves.
