Why do they ask how we studied for LSAT?

  I think it might just be for statistical information more than anything. I'm not sure what they would do with it, but they might notice a trend linking scores and preparation method.

  @"Tina Cho" I think there was a blog post on the Ask Asha section of Yale where she mentioned that it was to give particular attention to students who didn't have the financial means to pay for expensive courses. Not sure if that's for all schools but that could be a reason.

  Nah, don't worry about it. They use the data for stats. In part to be sure that the test is fair.

  Clearly, I procrastinate too much.

  Wait...so law school will see it too?
  Do they see all of the things we put in the forms?

  @"Tina Cho" oh I thought you meant on the application. Yeah the LSAC is probably for stats.
