Hi Alaina, there is no particular time to start a subject, but we do make a schedule and timeline for ourselves so that we will be able to complete the syllabus at the exact time. Preparing for the LSAT exam totally depends on whether you want to score high marks in order to get a prestigious college or whether you just want to get a decent rank to get admission to law school. If you want the former, you must prepare for the exams 6 months or if later than 2 or 1 month is enough for the preparations.
Start with the easy subject first and then move on to the tough subject.
Don't take stress as it reduces the efficiency.
Be consistent with you topic.
Revision is the key. Read less but do revision continuously.

Hi Alaina,
The amount of time you should spend studying for the LSAT really depends on your personal schedule, strengths, and goals. Many people start preparing about 3 to 6 months before their test date to give themselves enough time to learn the format, practice different question types, and take several practice exams. I prepared for about 3 months before taking the test by just doing practice tests on my own.
Some students choose to take an LSAT prep class to get structured guidance, while others prefer studying on their own using books, online resources, and practice tests. Whichever route you choose, consistency is key—regular, focused study sessions tend to be more effective than cramming last minute.
In addition to practice tests, consider working on critical reading and logical reasoning skills every day, since those are major parts of the exam. Also, try to simulate real test conditions during practice to build stamina and time management.
Starting early gives you flexibility and reduces stress, so if you can, begin familiarizing yourself with the exam well in advance!
Good luck with your prep!
