Should You Take the LSAT in February?
Taking the LSAT in February isn’t necessarily ideal. It’s in the dead of winter and East Coast testing centers regularly close for snow! To add insult to injury, LSAC keeps the questions secret even after the fact. The cherry on top? You’re cutting it close with the admissions deadlines for most law schools. But, just because it's often a "last resort" doesn’t make it a terrible option. On the contrary! The February test may be your last and best … [Read more...]

1 Week Until the LSAT: Last-Ditch Efforts and How to Make Them Work
Before we begin, let's get one thing out of the way. If you haven't already studied for the LSAT for at least 1-2 months, there is little you can do in the last week before the test. Yes, life can get in the way and even the best-laid plans go astray. Unfortunately, you cannot cram for the LSAT. It's a test of how you think, not how much you know. Unlike most knowledge-based tests, the LSAT measures whether you possess the skill set necessary … [Read more...]
