Studying for the LSAT while working full time requires consistency more than huge daily study blocks. A realistic plan protects energy, review quality, and weekly momentum.
Weekly Schedule
| Day | Focus |
|---|---|
| Mon/Wed | Timed LR sets plus review |
| Tue/Thu | RC passage work plus review |
| Saturday | Full section or full test |
| Sunday | Deep review and planning |
Avoid Burnout
Short, high-quality sessions beat exhausted three-hour sessions after work. Protect at least one rest block per week.
When to Extend the Timeline
If your target score requires a 10+ point gain, give yourself more months rather than forcing unrealistic weekly hours.
