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.
