Misfire, do you suggest, study study study, take practice tests, then take a class? and take the LSAT

or take a class, study study study, practice tests, then LSAT?

Or class, study study study, practice tests, class, LSAT?

I'm trying to get in at USC, or UCLA if that matters, but would happily just stay at Ohio State and go there since it will be significantly cheaper

Sorry I'm slow to respond...I didn't notice this got bumped until tonight.

Not sure how much the order matters, except that if you're using real LSAT material from LSAC, you'll eventually run out. Study study study should be a part of all of it. I highly recommend classes or a good tutor (tutor>>class) to help guide your study.

Practice tests are overrated IMHO. They're important, and give you a good idea about where you are, but shouldn't be the main tool for studying. They're good for developing your pacing, so you can kinda feel in your gut when you're taking too long on a question. Slow, methodical practice is where the bulk of improvement comes from. Knowing the test itself inside and out is more valuable than speed (speed comes naturally the better you get at the questions anyway).

I was going to apply to UCLA, but their application annoyed the [censored] out of me. It's like 13 pages and asks ridiculous questions.
