How did you ace the lsat? How should I study? My first time will be in June, that I take the test. I have been self studying.

I took Blueprint LSAT Prep's online video course and loved it (both the content and the on-demand flexibility). In addition, I took 18 practice tests and had about 4-6 hours of Skype tutoring with a Blueprint instructor to improve on weaknesses. Finally, I didn't take the test until I was good and ready (that meant postponing multiple times and devoting myself totally to the test for about 4 months). Good luck!
