Preparing for the LSAT

• To help better prepare for the LSAT, third party services can be used along with stand-alone studying and research. Free trials are available for students to take advantage of. Investing in as much preparation as possible is highly recommended due to a majority of scholarships being merit-based.
• With there being a lot of information for students to take in while studying, it is important to remember:

1. Don’t rush your preparations. It is common for students to study between 4-6 months, but many will take longer than that.
2. Research the median scores of schools you’re interested in, then set a target score above those medians.
3. Don’t sign up until you are ready. If your practice scores do not reflect your goal, there is no reason to sign up for the official test.
4. Once you are ready, plan to take the test as many times as you need.
