Thoughts on not studying theory, just practicing
Does anyone have thoughts on just drilling/ taking PTs, rather than studying theory.
I’ve always been a more intuitive thinker, and always learned better by doing, rather than having something explained to me.
I’ve been seeing a lot of people categorizing the questions on the lsat, and using different theories/ approaches to answer different question types. I, as of now, have not looked up what these categories mean, because that is not how my brain naturally understands the questions, and I worry trying to change how my brain processes the questions will slow me down/ mess with my accuracy.
I am hesitant to do anything to mess with how I think about the questions because I already seem to be preforming pretty well with my current approach. I got a 177 diagnostic (granted I did mess around with drills for like maybe 2 hrs before, and the PT was a older one) and so far seem to be at most missing like 1 question per drill (if that).
I am currently studying by drilling, and when I miss a question, going back over and making sure I understand (in a way that seems natural/ instinctive to me) what I missed. According to 7sage, my accuracy is roughly the same across all question types, so I think these mistakes are more my lack of familiarity with the LSAT (i’ve just started studying, probably like 30ish mins to 1hr a day like 4 days a wk for like maybe 2wks) rather than a lack of understanding of a question type.
I know that regardless I’m probably going to be fine when taking the LSAT, but also want a 180 if possible and want to be studying in a way that’s smart for me. If anyone has thoughts about if I should keep practicing, study some theory, or a secret third option, pls let me know. Thanks!
