LSAT Prep.


Question Posted Tuesday April 15 2008, 10:49 pm

I need to take the LSAT, but am stumped as to which date is best...
I can take it either in June or October. I feel that taking it in June might not give me enough time to prepare (only two months left), but then again, October is over five months away. I understand there are pros and cons to both choices, but-

IF you have taken the LSAT and are in (or were) in Law School-

Which date do you think is best? I am aiming at a score in the mid-high 160's, so realistically, do you think two months is enough to prepare? Or is it better to wait till October?

The reason I ask is that I am also concerned about getting applications submitted early in the admissions process, so the sooner I have the scores, the better. Still, the LSAT score is clearly the most important factor--based on your own experience, what do you recommend?

Hello there,

Apparently not a lot of folks here are directly able answer a question that requires they either are, or were in law school.

Having given this question adequate time to be seen on the front page, I thought I had better answer you.

The basic thought with any scored entrance exam is this: You either know the material, or you don't.

I know that seems overly simplified, but it really isn't.

Do this search:

only search advicenators.com


... and follow some of the links there.

Take a half dozen practice tests, and see how you do.

If you ace one and all, then schedule for May.

If you feel that you are in WAY over your head, then October it is.

Fortunately for you, there are just piles of on-line preparation opportunities for taking the LSAT, so either date you choose, you still have plenty of help prepping for the LSAT.

Have fun, and I hope you ace it.
