Comments on: How to Study for the LSAT

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!!!!!

on 7/4/2006 The best way to study for the LSAT is by yourself. Don't get distracted by LSAT classes, like Kaplan. I took their class and realized it didn't help at all. That's because no one can teach you how to take the test. You have to simply practice as much as possible and get comfortable with it. You can't study for it like a SAT or MCAT test. I suggest setting aside a good 3-6 months of study time, gradually building up to nothing but full 4-hour tests 2-4 times a week. It sounds like a lot, I know, but it will pay off during the real thing. Endurance is the key. Build it up and you'll find yourself flying through the LSAT.

on 11/22/2005 LSAT preparation is extremely time consuming (as I learned the hard way). If you've already decided on the LSAT date and you are usually short on preparation time, give yourself a full 2 months. You don't have to dedicate your life to preparing. After 60 days of studying for 3 hours a day, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to score in the 75th percentile. I started with a 144, and in one full month of practicing 3-4 hours a day, I brought my score up to 163. Not bad at all, for 30 days. ;)

on 11/22/2005 I have found that reading the test backward is not helpful.

on 11/22/2005 It's best to take a course since they give you preparation books that have lots of practice tests in them. It's important to take the practice tests all the way through every day for a month before the exam since it builds up your endurance to read fast and accurately for 4 hours straight. At first, I couldn't pay attention for an hour straight. But then, I found that eating a high protein/low carb meal with moderate fat and some caffeine (not too much) helped my endurance for reading. This is because more protein in your system keeps your blood sugar steady -- which is important for concentration and attention.

on 11/22/2005 Your score can improve if you take one of the courses that helps you with strategies for taking the test. Scores are important even if they don't measure how well you'll do in law school. Give yourself all the help you can get; those extra points help.
