I think it depends on what type of person you are. When I took the test in 2008, I scored several points higher than my PT scores because I am more relaxed when taking the real thing - I just want to get the damn thing done and move on! A lot of peo…
I think that addendums should be used sparingly, and only in important situations. This may sound harsh, but I don't think a professional school wants to hear excuses about 1 credit you earned as a teenager. Every part of your application serves a s…
I've actually gone through the entire process before, so hopefully, there are a few things I can recommend.
Most people submit a generic personal statement to every school. But, in my opinion, it is not that difficult to make slight changes for ea…
I actually pushed my test date back from the September test to the December one because I found 7Sage in late August. It is definitely not wise to even attempt to complete the Starter course in month - it is too much info. But, you can still gain a …
One thing that I had to do - if I wanted to go to bed at 10pm - was stop any LSAT training by 8pm. My mind needs a couple of hours to relax. I even meditate for 10 to 20 minutes before I crawl into bed to make sure that my mind has let go of the tes…
It's kind of funny, but I really need to focus on writing smaller, faster, and neater. I've realized that I waste several minutes overall by not following this simple bit of advice.
Also, I read through the rules once and skim the questions to get…
I would absolutely do some review. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can forget things / get rusty. You might want to spend a few days reviewing all three sections before you jump on a prep test. In my opinion, familiarity is a key factor to LSAT …
Nontraditional degree schools are a different animal unto themselves. I went to law school with a guy who had graduated from one of those universities that do not hand out grades, only lengthy evaluations of a students' performance. Instead of trans…
All law schools create an index score composed of your LSAT score and GPA. They all use a slightly different formula, but are all fairly similar. This is the actual score that they look at when comparing applicants. If your index score is above a ce…
Personally, I don't think the extra section is necessary. You will have the focus and energy required come test day, trust me. It's like Christmas morning for a child; you have trouble falling to sleep the night before, but will shoot out of bed amp…
There is a box in every application for the December LSAT. Check the box and the Law School will know that your LSAT score is pending. The benefit to doing this is that the law schools will have read your personal statement, resume, etc., prior to r…
Applying early makes a huge difference in scholarship money. Where you apply makes a difference as well. When I went through this process in 2008-09, I didn't get my application in until February, which was close to most of the deadlines.
Lewis &a…
I have found a method that has improved my RC scores significantly. Maybe it will work for you.
I read quickly, but do not skim. As I read, I underline the stuff that is important rather than writing stuff to the side or trying to memorize. I find…
