Quality or Quantity: The Best Approach to Getting Points on the LSAT

By on February 22, 2012 in LSAT Test Prep

A question I hear ALL the time is, when it comes to points on the LSAT, is it is better to rush and get to as many questions as possible or to slow down and just try really hard on the ones you attempt?  My honest, though unpopular response is that it depends.  Several factors come into play.  How long do you have to study before Test Day?  How far along in a section do you typically get when time is called?  Is this for all sections, or only certain ones?  These questions play a part in helping to make a decision on what the better course of action is.… Read full post

February: Perfect for Groundhogs, Leaping & LSAT Prep?

By on February 21, 2012 in Law School Admissions, LSAT Test Prep

February is a funny month: it’s the shortest, yet it’s stuffed with holidays.  From Groundhog’s Day on February 2 to this Leap Year’s addition of a bonus February 29th, this little month is big into celebrating. February is also a perfect time to consider preparing for the June LSAT: students who plan their prep now are sure to feel stronger walking into the test four months from now.

Just like our fuzzy friend Punxsutawney Phil, in February, cold weather haters may be thinking winter will last forever (or at least another six weeks- come to think of it, has Phil ever not seen his shadow?) But instead of dreading every snowflake, prospective attorneys might recognize the long road to spring as a chance to achieve maximum effect with minimal stress.… Read full post

5 Things Not To Forget On Test Day

By on December 10, 2010 in LSAT Test Prep

Tomorrow’s the big day – test day. Good luck to all of you. Here are five final reminders before you walk into the testing room.

1. Don’t underestimate the importance of a positive attitude. Nothing good can come from negativity, but a lot of good can come from positivity. When I prepared for the October LSAT, before each study session, I would take a few moments to visualize myself succeeding before I opened my study materials or practice test. And on Test Day, while waiting for the test to begin, I again visualized myself rocking the test. I visualized myself opening to each section and confidently attacking the questions, getting through the sections in the time limit, and getting all the answers correct.… Read full post

How do I maximize my points in Logic Games on Test Day?

By on September 15, 2010 in Law School & Legal Life

Logic Games are a formidable foe for sure; they take time and practice to master. But, you may be able to seize more points right away if you’re willing to follow some important rules. (There’s some formal logic for ya.) Here are some guidelines I share with my LSAT students that help in getting through the logic games section quickly.

1. Be willing to work on the games out of order. That is, don’t necessarily take the games in order. The makers of the LSAT are testing more than your ability to understand and apply rules and make logical deductions in the logic games section.… Read full post

Canceling Your LSAT Score – Making the Decision

By on June 10, 2009 in Law School & Legal Life

Ideally, every person who takes the LSAT goes into the testing center, takes the test, and leaves feeling confident that great results will follow. However, it’s inevitable that some test takers will succumb to the pressure of Test Day and walk away feeling anxious and uncertain.

The LSAC offers test takers the opportunity to cancel their LSAT scores. Before making that decision, one should know a few facts about canceled scores:

1.) If you choose to cancel a score, nobody will ever know your actual results on that test – not law schools, not the LSAC, not even you. It will be as if you never took it.… Read full post
