What is the Best Way to Review Practice Tests

On the PowerScore LSAT Discussion Forum, there have been discussions about how to best review practice LSATs and homework problems. Students often make a critical error when studying.

10 Steps to Taking LSAT Practice Tests

10 Steps to Taking LSAT Practice Tests

Many test-takers mistakenly believe that taking a large number of LSAT practice tests is the best way to guarantee a high score on test day. Some LSAT “gurus” suggest taking 30, even 40 practice tests in the course of several months; others recommend taking one or two tests a day in the weeks leading up to the exam. Cranking out test after test is a grueling regimen and not necessarily a productive one. Without a concerted effort to improve their conceptual understanding of the test, most students quickly hit a “plateau” in their scores. Others see their performance languish due to mental … [Read more...]

1 Week Until the LSAT: Last-Ditch Efforts and How to Make Them Work

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 to excel in law school. For example: close reading, critical reasoning, rule application, and information synthesis. These skills develop over time, … [Read more...]

Mind the Clock! The Importance of Preparing for the LSAT with a Timer

Start With the Fundamentals When most people begin preparing for the LSAT, the focus is on establishing that fundamental grasp of concepts. There is much less concern given to speed. You have to understand what is being tested, how to recognize the consistent elements, and the proper method of … [Read more...]
