Step 1
Understand what the test purports to measure. It is not content-based, but rather is designed to assess your ability to read and comprehend complex text and organize and process information to reach conclusions, along with testing your speed and accuracy.
-
Step 2
Practice, rather than study. Many Web sites, including the Law School Admission Council, offer free downloadable sample tests and other prep materials.
-
Step 3
Investigate the many test prep resources available online and at local bookstores. These range from books to CD-ROMs and audiotapes.
-
Step 4
Develop a test-taking strategy. Like all such examinations, the LSAT is a timed test with a known scoring system. Discipline yourself with practice tests to allocate your time appropriately.
-
Step 5
Study vocabulary, if you absolutely have to study something. Since all components of the LSAT rely on reading comprehension, you may be able to improve your score by expanding your knowledge of common test words (and there are lists available).
-
Step 6
Take the test. Many students take the LSAT more than once and consider early test experiences the best preparation for later ones. Although the Law School Admissions Council has access to all scores, and multiple scores are averaged, your later, higher scores will raise your average.

on 2/17/2009 I agree with "Anonymous" and not "booyeah". Remember some people can only respond through their own limitations that they see for themselves. You do have two choices either you take the exam "timed" or request for extra time. I would recommend that you take the exam "timed" first and if you do bad then take the second one with extra time. You can make the request when you register or call the testing administration. You have an equal chance to succeed like anyone else, don't let anything tell you otherwise. Buy the prep books and set aside time to study for an hour each day. The more comfortable you are with the test format, the better you will do. Register and go take the exam. Don't waste time studying and then not register, you'll drag the process out. Wish you the best!

on 11/9/2008 if you have "very low concentration" you probably shouldn't even try to take the lsat or waste your time and money going to law school if for some reason you are able to get in.

on 11/9/2008 Study as much as you can; if you "aren't good at concentrating" then you probably shouldn't take the lsat and waste your time and money trying to be a lawyer.

on 11/21/2007 I want to start law school in the fall of 2008.I have no idea how to study. I have very low concentration and I 'm not a good test taker. I'm wondering (although this is what I really want to do) if I should go to law school. Oh, did I mention I also have ADHD? As if I didn’t have enough problems.
Please Help!!!!!
