PREPARING FOR THE LSAT

LSAT Intensive Review provides professional instruction in a traditional classroom setting using the most up-to-date materials available. Your instructor teaches basic skills starting with relatively simple examples and then works forward to help you master more difficult questions. Once you attend each lecture, you are drilled using carefully selected questions designed to hone your LSAT skills. With LSAT Intensive Review you attend a concise, well-organized seminar with superb instructors which is conveniently scheduled over a single weekend. We specialize solely in preparing students for the LSAT.

LSAT Intensive Review utilizes a divide and conqueor strategy. Think of taking all the prior LSATs that have been administered. Now imagine cutting out each question with a pair of scissors. As you work, place each question in a separate pile that represents a particular question type. (For example, in Logical Reasoning some of the question types we identify are evidence questions, deductive reasoning questions, inference questions, consistency and contradiction questions, argument recognition questions, etc.) The seminar teaches students how to identify each question type, develops a basic approach for each question type, and includes extensive practice material organized by question type and generally arranged from less difficult to more difficult. Another way to describe this basic approach is that first we look for "patterns" and then we "practice."

Your LSAT score is too important for you to walk into the test unprepared. The higher your score, the better your chances of admission to a competitive law school. If the LSAT is taken more than once, many law schools average your scores. Therefore, a low score might disqualify you as a serious law school candidate.

Law schools typically use a mathematical formula to combine your LSAT score and your undergraduate grade point average (GPA) into an index. The exact weight assigned to your undergraduate GPA compared to the weight assigned to your LSAT score varies from law school to law school. At many law schools, however, your LSAT score is by far the single most important factor in the admissions decision.

Many law schools rate each candidate's desirability with a single number. Each school then establishes what it regards as a minimally acceptable index. Applications which fall below this threshold will receive little, if any, consideration. The discussion which follows offers general advice on how to meet this challenge.

Careful preparation and hard work enhance the likelihood of success. This philosophy is just as applicable to law school admissions as it is to other areas of life. Your LSAT score is one factor in the admissions process over which you exercise a degree of control. (After all, there is little you can do, at this point, to alter your GPA.) A rational approach to law school admissions emphasizes those factors in the admission process which contribute to a successful law school application and which are still subject to improvement.

Do not take the LSAT as an "experiment" just to see how well you can perform. It is very important that you be prepared to do your best when you take the examination. It is difficult to overcome a poor past performance. If the LSAT is taken more than once, most law schools average the scores. A review course allows you to "practice" taking the examination without the negative effects of repeating the LSAT.
