As I've mentioned on a number of prior occasions, some of the most important weapons you have in your battle with the LSAT are your mental strength, confidence, and overall outlook.

Don't Ignore Psychology Because of the above, I pay close attention to developments in the field of … [Read more...]

How Practice LSATs Can Help You Decide to Keep or Cancel Your Score

How Practice LSATs Can Help You Decide to Keep or Cancel Your Score

Taking practice LSATs can do a lot for your test preparation. We talk about how to take PTs to replicate the testing experience as closely as possible here. While taking and analyzing PTs should be an integral part of everyone’s test preparation, we beg the question. Are you using each practice test to their full potential? Meaning, are learning everything you can from each PT? Certainly identifying your strengths and weaknesses and adapting your study plan to that is key. However, there is a valuable exercise you can use in conjunction with them that students underutilize. It’s a simple 3 … [Read more...]

My LSAT Score Just Dropped… Now What?

If you have an LSAT test administration coming up, a drop in your practice test scores can be demoralizing. Was all this work for nothing? What if it happens again?The fact is, it didn't: it happened on a practice test. It may not seem that way, but it's one of the best things that can happen to you while prepping for the test.

By contrast, a 142 says little about your potential, but it can teach you a … [Read more...]
