Miscellaneous advice. I found that taking a symbolic logic class helped me out a lot on the logical reasoning section. The questions on the LSAT are VERY different then what you’ll be doing in a logic class at school. However, it helped me think more analytically and deductively-skills that are essential for the LSAT. To get ready for the reading comprehension section, read stuff like The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, or the New York Times. (Don’t buy them. That wouldn’t be frugal. Just go to Boarder’s or the library to read them.) The passages in the LSAT are very similar to the writing styles in these publications. In fact, the LSAT often uses articles from these publications on their test.

NOTE: According to LSAC, in June 2007, reading comprehension will be changed to comparative reading. Instead of one long passage as in past LSAT’s, you’ll be given two short passages. You’ll be asked questions on how the passages relate. Keep this in mind as you use older tests. What you’ll be facing on the reading comprehension section in June 2007 is very different from what past LSAT’s have been.

hey

i just wanted to say that this blog post of LSATs is great! i really enjoyed reading it.

I am thinking about applying for law- actually, I AM applying for law haha. I am right now doing my last year in my undergraduate. Right now, i am feeling a bit anxious as the last part i need to do is really the LSAT.

It was really comforting to know someone also knows how it feels- i tried to study for the LSAT and i was doing quite poorly in the begining. However, i feel more motivated now after reading your posts about practice and how you slowly got up there. Ideally, id like score in the 160s- i am not exactly the best person for standardized tests, so i am really hoping i can do it.

Just curious, what is the most rewarding part of being in law school?- or what you have learned in law school? Is it really as competitive as everyone makes it out to be- for example, i hear that every law student is given an academic rank compared to his/her peers?

thanks! and drop me an email if you arent too bubsy
