Normal

You don’t have to invest a lot of money for preparation courses, but you do have to invest your time and energy to prepare. The effort is well worth it – having a law degree can open doors in your future!

To help you prepare, affordable test preparation books and software are available at www.LSAC.org and other sites online, as well as in bookstores. For several months or weeks before you plan to take the test, you should:

  • read through the test questions and answers;
  • decide your strategy for answering each type of question; and
  • take entire sample tests under simulated, timed conditions.

Continue taking preparation tests until you feel confident about the time it takes you to get through the sections and your ability to answer the questions correctly.

If you feel you need the discipline of a test preparation course or workshop, your prelaw advisor may be able to suggest some low-cost options.
