One of the first questions I often hear from students looking into the LSAT is “How much time do I need to put in?”
It’s obviously different for everyone, some of us can ace the test with little or no preparation while others might take months of dedicated study to see significant improvements in their score.
We’ve put together an LSAT Study Schedule as a guideline for your LSAT studies. This is just a guide and you may require much more or less time than is laid out here. But it’s a great place to start.
Since Miley Cyrus would never date a boy who did not believe in marriage, and anyone who truly understands romance believes in marriage, only a boy who truly understands romance would have any chance of dating Miley Cyrus.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument ignores the possibility that some people who
(A) have no chance of dating Miley Cyrus do not truly understand romance
(B) truly understand romance have no chance of dating Miley Cyrus
(C) truly understand romance do not believe in marriage
(D) believe in marriage have no chance of dating Miley Cyrus
(E) believe in marriage do not truly understand romance

So you’ve decided to take the LSAT, now what? One of the first steps when preparing for the LSAT is to setup a study schedule. Following through this process will help you set your goals and a study schedule to help you meet those goals.
Step 1 – Take a Practice LSAT Test
Taking a practice LSAT test is an extremely important step for a number of different reasons. You need to determine a baseline LSAT score, this will help guide you in how much you need to study to get the score you want. Also, having a baseline score will help motivate you as you study by giving you a measure of your improvement. Motivation can be an extremely important factor in studying for the LSAT.

If you’re having trouble with the LSAT logic games, this method of studying often helps students break through into higher scores. The reason the repetition is effective is that there are only so many LSAT game constructions and this helps you become an expert at them. As you move on to other practice tests, and the real thing, the characters and story may change but the structure of the game will be very close to something you’ve done a dozen times and scored perfect on. Give it a shot and you might see a jump in your score on the games section. Continue reading “LSAT Logic Games – Lather, rinse, repeat”

“My daughter, Lisa, is the most amazing person. She is exceptionally smart and has always wanted to be a lawyer. Any law school would be lucky to have her! I attach a photo for your review.”
Schools often have their own list of who should write your reference letters. They may ask for two academic references, or some combination of academic and other references. Always make sure you meet the requirements of the school to which you are applying.
“James is a pleasure to teach. He picks up new concepts faster than a waterfall picks up speed. If you don’t accept him into your law school the world may end.”
“Cate is the greatest student that ever lived. No one studies harder and learns faster. She has the quick wit of a cat and the sharp mind of a bumble bee. I demand that you accept her to your law school!”
As part of most law school application packages you will be expected to submit one or more reference letters from professors, employers or other persons who can give some insight into your character, strengths and abilities.
Your entire law school application is intended to convince the admissions officer or committee that you should be given a spot in their first year law school class. This requires demonstrating your abilities, intelligence, commitment, desire, ethics and drive to succeed in the highly competitive law school environment.
