Hi Doreen, Amazing insught! the video is very informative. You mentioned about some of the Professional Prep classes i.e Kaplan, 7Sage, Harvard Ready. And additionally that you have a bias towards self-study. I wanted to inquire though, what would you suggest for someone just starting their LSAT study process? ...Would you not say that taking a few classes at the beginning will be helpful and then one can transition to self-study? I recall in your other Q&A webinar that some of the strategies you were taught were not helpful. Just wanted to know your thoughts and what you would suggest. Thank you.

Hi! Yes, although it depends on your starting score, how/what you use to study, and what you're aiming for. It's easier to improve from a 150 to a 160 for example, than it is to go from a 160 to a 170.

Before You Take the LSAT I got 19/27 correct on the reading comprehension and 5 out of 23 right on the logic games. I hear that the RC is the hardest section to move up and the logic games is the easiest. So that’s good news right? And my plan was to study 2-3 hours a day for 6 months. So yes I’m very much determined to get that score I just want to know if it’s possible with a 144 diagnostic
