LSAT Tips and Tricks

You can never prepare for the LSAT too much. Studying two months in advance will let you study a little bit each day, versus cramming a few weeks before the test and becoming overwhelmed.

What many students do not realize is that the LSAT is a 3.5 hour test of stamina.
Practicing only single sections will give you a false sense of security. You must become completely comfortable with taking another 35 minute section immediately after finishing the previous one.

Use the LSAT Proctor DVD to simulate real testing conditions.
On the real test you will not be able to take a break between sections, so do not do so on practice tests.

With only 35 minutes for each section, you must learn to master how to quickly move through the questions while maintaining accuracy.

Since timing and self-pacing is so important to the LSAT, you should be practicing with the same analog watch you will be using on the real test.
Our Analog LSAT Watch meets LSAC guidelines for timing devices and makes timing yourself remarkably easy.

If your test is at 9:00 AM, then get in the habit of waking up early and taking your practice test at this time.

Since the LSAT is a test of technique and strategy, you must understand why you got a particular question wrong so you do not get a similar future questions wrong.

On test day, you will most likely already be extremely stressed out, and the last thing you want to do is have to rush to your testing center.
If you are not familiar with your testing center, find out where it is and how to get there. If possible, visit it the day before the test.
If your testing center is far away, it might benefit you to get a hotel/motel room close to the testing center in order to avoid traffic, getting lost, or getting there late.
