LSAT Preparation - online and classroom courses
The LSAT (Law School Admission Test) is a standardized test used
by law schools to evaluate applicants. The test is administered
by the Law School Admission Council four times a year.
Effective LSAT preparation can take several forms. Deciding on
the type of review course depends on your goals and how you're currently
performing on the LSAT.
How you're currently doing on the LSAT
Unless you've already taken the LSAT, it's tough to guess how you'll
do on the LSAT. However, there are free
LSAT practice tests that can help you get an idea of where you
stand.
Does your LSAT score get you to your goals?
There are a variety of criteria that Law Schools use to evaluate
your application. Your LSAT score is just one of them - but an important
one. We've built a tool to help decide if your LSAT scores are competitive
at the schools your interested in: LSAT
scores and Law School Search.
Should you retake the LSAT?
Unlike several other entrance exams, if you take the LSAT more
than once, your scores are averaged. That means you should try to
take the LSAT only once.
However, sometimes it's clear that you should retake the test.
In this situation it is imperitive that you do well on the test.
Two bad scores are very difficult to overcome.
If you're in this situation you need to get the most out of your
LSAT preparation. If you can afford it, private
LSAT tutoring
is the most effective course. For about half the cost, an LSAT
classroom course is the current gold-standard in LSAT test prep.
What does the LSAT score mean?
We've put together a plot of the LSAT distribution, as well as
a tool to help you see what a specific LSAT score means to your
Law School Application. Visit the LSAT
scores page to find out.
