Hey I finished my Bachelors In Business Management. I'm trying to get into law school and my LSAT score is going to be very important. Has anyone taken it?

I have taken actual practice tests from the LSAT company and scored well. It is logic problems, which I guess are easy for me. I got ate up by the GMAT. Everyone is different.

I took the LSAT in 2007, after I finished my paralegal cert. program. I "studied" for about four months, but it wasn't that consistent. When I had registered for the February exam, I buckled down a little more. Of course I took the practice tests on the LSAT website. What really helped was breaking down the types of questions into categories and skill sets, using a CD-ROM by Princeton Review and the Learning Company. The one I used is out of print -- I borrowed it from a friend who found it at a thrift store -- but I see a new edition on Amazon.

The test is on paper, and insanely fast-paced for the amount of material. There was only one or two sections where I finished before the time was up, on test day. So... strategies would include picking the easy questions first and using process of elimination/guessing with the rest.

So practice a lot with squeezing your time down. The written essay at the end was relatively relaxing; read the scenario, and give a logical plan for the character to follow, giving the pros and cons. However, it is challenging to get where you can outline your essay in draft, then write out the final copy, legibly and within the time limits. It just takes a method (strategy) and getting used to it (practice).

Third, unless you check just before the LSAT exam date, you should be able to borrow a copy of the "Last 10 Actual LSAT Tests" from your local library.

I came out with a 155/180 (65th percentile). However, I didn't need it for the law school I applied for (Oak Brook College) and I ended up teaching EFL in Taiwan, and now working on a BA. My main thought after taking the LSAT was this: if I ever have kids, I would have them take it before they could graduate from high school. It forces you to think clearly under pressure, and identify the assumptions behind every argument.

For those that applied to law school with CLEP/DANTES...How did u "show that you took these test? My prelaw advisor insists that I should have a transcript mailed to them LSAC, but I can't seem to find the proper way to do so, so that they will link it into my profile.
