Here are tips three and four… 

Bad Habit #3:  Not committing to your study schedule.

 You want to be a lawyer.  You WILL be a lawyer.  Don’t be that person who has an achievable dream and throws it away due to lack of effort.  The LSAT is the key to getting into law school (and also a big part of saving a lot of money on law school tuition), so make it a huge priority. 

Summer is upon us; if you’re sane, there are probably a hundred things you’d rather be doing than studying for the LSAT.  However, for the next few months (or however long you have to study), you need to be that kid inside her living room, diligently practicing the violin while forlornly watching her friends play outside on the street.… Read full post

Top Ten LSAT Etiquette Rules

By on February 6, 2012 in Law School Admissions, LSAT Test Prep

Over the past four years I’ve taught hundreds of LSAT test-takers and heard countless stories of the trials of Test Day.  On my own path to becoming an attorney, I had to take the LSAT.  Granted when most of you walk into the exam you’ll be doing so for the first time, but as someone who has been the metaphoric fly on the wall for numerous administrations, please, I implore you, adhere to the following rules of Test Day etiquette.  If all test-takers did so, the whole experience would be immeasurably more pleasant:

Bring lots of pencils.  Why?  Because it is thoroughly annoying to sit next to someone who is incessantly sharpening their pencil.  I know the rules say that you can bring a pencil sharpener, and, by all means, bring it.  Just don’t use it until the breaks between sections.  Better yet, sharpen and pack enough pencils in your one gallon ziplock bag, that you can make it through all five 35 minute sections and a writing sample without sharpening anything.… Read full post
