75 Hard LSAT Study Plan

Is your LSAT coming up? Lock in with the 75 Hard-inspired LSAT study plan and get test day ready in no time.
  • Reviewed by: Matt Riley
  • So, we’ve heard that you’re taking the LSAT. Well, no, actually, we haven’t technically heard that. But we’re guessing that, based on the fact that you’re reading an article with this title. You are planning to register for the LSAT, and you’re looking for an LSAT study plan, correct? 

    Sorry, we’re being a little too diffident. This isn’t the vibe we wanted to convey with this article. This was meant to come off like we’re your fitness instructor. But we’re mostly LSAT nerds around here—notshredded Barry’s coaches.

    We’re trying to write a blog inspired by Andy Frisella’s “75 Hard: A Tactical Guide to Winning the War with Yourself”, a fitness and — these aren’t our words, but Mr. Frisella’s — “mental toughness” program. 

    So, here’s our 75-day LSAT study plan. Like the original “75 Hard,” we’ve built our study plan around a few tasks that you’ll complete every day. Each task is a small, manageable activity that you can fit into even the busiest schedules. Every day, these tasks will keep you accountable and encourage a disciplined, consistent study routine. Over time, we think these tasks will build the skills you need to win the war with, if not yourself, at least the LSAT test-makers.


    What is “75 Hard”?

    As its title suggests, “75 Hard” is based on militaristic discipline and monastic devotion. It gives its followers a 75-day plan of non-negotiable daily tasks that, if followed, promise a pathway to “winning the war with yourself,” presuming your objectives center on improving your physique and cardiovascular health. 

    At Blueprint LSAT, we might not be the types to frame self-improvement as a “tactical war” with ourselves. However, we can appreciate how the habits encouraged by a program like “75 Hard” would help an LSAT student immensely. And the model has been adapted to a variety of spaces already, so we decided to don some fitness-influencer cosplay and give this a whirl.

    💡 “75 Hard” too unnecessarily stressful? We get it! Create your own study plan around your LSAT date and personal schedule for free when you start a Blueprint LSAT free trial!

Keeping this journal will allow you to understand the questions you miss, reveal any issues in your approach, and help you make the necessary plans to transform mistakes into progress.

    ✅ A Quiet Study Space: This should be a dedicated space that is as quiet and distraction-free as you can find. For many of us, creating such a space may require placing our phones in another jurisdiction.

    ✅ (*Strongly Recommended) Blueprint LSAT Course: This is an all-in-one resource for personalized LSAT study plans, expert-led lessons, and practice tools tailored to your strengths and weaknesses. This platform can help you make your 75 Hard-style war of attrition feel like a 75 Not So Bad-style jaunt.

    • 170+ Course: Built for students trying to hit those top LSAT scores—guaranteed.
    • Live Course: Perfect for students who want a mix of instructor-led accountability and flexibility.

    Phase 1: Plotting Your Accuracy

    Ultimately, earning any target score on the LSAT requires two things (in this order): 

    1. Becoming accurate enough to earn your goal score under no time pressure. 
    2. Developing the ability to execute this accuracy on a timed test. 

    So, in Phase 1, we’re working untimed. We’re focused on building our understanding of the test, developing sound approaches, and, ultimately, increasing our accuracy to whatever is required for our target score. 

    For example, if a 170+ score is your objective, you should aim to eventually answer at least 90% of your untimed LSAT questions correctly. 

    The good news is that developing accuracy solves many of the timing issues LSAT students experience.

    • (To the end of Phase 1)

    Phase 2: Building Up for Timing

    After acquring accuracy in Phase 1, we’ll now have to figure out how to remain that accurate on a timed test. However, the transition from untimed work to the LSAT’s unforgiving time constraints is a bumpy one for most test-takers. We’ll use Phase 2 to smooth the transition.

    That said, don’t think about this as building speed. Trying to go fast on the LSAT is a fool’s bargain that will cost you your hard-won accuracy. Instead, you’re developing comfort working against a timer, learning to manage your time effectively, and acquiring the instinct to be brutally decisive and efficient whenever possible. 

    In particular, we’ll focus on building these skills on the slightly less difficult parts of the LSAT — the first 10 questions of a Logical Reasoning Section and the first two passages of a Reading Comp Section.

      • Pick a below-average difficulty passage
      • Take all the time you need to read, highlight, and notate the passage
      • Then attempt the questions with a 30-second/question time limit (e.g., if there are 6 questions, you have 3 minutes to answer all the questions)
        • Note: This is faster than you need to move on a timed section, but the point is to build confidence and decisiveness through this exercise
      • Aim for a 90%+ accuracy goal
    • 10 minutes of journaling in your Lessons Learned Journal

    Day 56:

    • Rest
    • As a reward, sit in bed and doomscrool for 4-6 hours.
    • Just kidding.

    Phase 3: The Final Push

    At last, we’ll incorporate regular full-length practice LSAT tests into our schedule. That said, the work we do *in between* each exam is even more important than the exam itself. So, after each test, you’ll want to review your results carefully to figure out what you need to work on.

    To do this, many students find it helpful to “blind review” their practice exams. This involves taking the practice test a second time, but this time, untimed, with no pesky timer to distract you

    How to Blind Review LSAT Practice Test

    After taking the practice test initially, don’t review which questions you got right or wrong. Close your laptop, wait a day, and take the same test again, without seeing what you selected initially. When you take the test a second time, try not to think about what you did on the first attempt. Instead, try to answer each question as best as you can, now that you have all the time you need. After completing the second attempt, compare your selections. 

    Let’s say you answered a question incorrectly on the first, timed attempt and correctly on the second, untimed attempt. In that case, the question probably presented a timing issue. On your first attempt, you may have rushed on that question, missing key parts of the passage, misreading something, or skipping important steps. Or, you may have simply not had enough time to make a reasonable attempt at that question.

    However, if you answered a question incorrectly on both attempts, then that question presented an understanding issue. There might be something about that question type that you could brush up on, or that question might have involved a skill you haven’t quite mastered yet.

    So, this process allows us to sort our missed questions into two buckets—the timing-issue bucket and the understanding-issue bucket. After doing this, you can tailor your practice to address those issues. 

    This practice is what will ultimately increase your score. For instance, if most of the questions presented timing issues, then you want to get lots of timed practice before your next test. 

    Alternatively, if you find that your understanding-issue bucket overruneth, you’ll want to review your notes and Lessons Learned Journal to build up your comfort with the specific question types, skills, and passage types that presented these understanding issues. Then, get lots of untimed practice with these question types, skills, and passage types.

    As you can imagine, the tasks will necessarily be variable in Phase 3. What you do largely depends on how your blind review turns out. But, between each practice test, we’ll need to dedicate at least one day to addressing the understanding-issue bucket and at least one day to addressing the timing-issue bucket. In between, the days are your call — feel free to make them understanding days, timing days, or a mix of both.

    Final Thoughts

    [Now, imagine the blogger’s eyes rolling into the back of his said as he says this with over-the-top sarcasm] Sounds easy, right?

    No, it does not. This is the definition of an intensive LSAT study plan. Trying to study for the LSAT in 75 days is no small feat. Doing so requires singular focus and regimen, the kind of steely reserve that would impress even Andy Frisella himself. 

    But if you’re up for the challenge, these daily tasks will keep you moving steadfastly towards your goal score. And, if you have a bit more time to play with, the principles of this study plan — the three phases and their accompanying tasks — can be spread out into a much more reasonable 4-6 month study plan. 

    But those of us who like doing things on Hard-mode, this Hard 75 LSAT plan is for you.


    Blueprint LSAT students increase their LSAT scores by 15 points, on average. Whether it’s in a Live Course or 170+ Course led by expert Blueprint instructors, in a Self-Paced Course that gives you total control over your schedule and studying, or one-on-one with a tutor, we have the LSAT prep that fits your learning style.
