SUCCESSFUL LSAT
TAKERS
Take practice tests. Yes, more than one.
They’re an excellent gauge of your progress and
problem areas and can help guide your study patterns. In fact, begin with a practice test in
simulated test conditions to develop a baseline and chart improvement from there.
On the day of the test, don’t panic.
Even if a section seems particularly challenging, general

test-taking strategies are still in play. Keep a cool head and you’ll answer more questions with

more accuracy than you would if you let nerves take hold.

Minimize stress and distractions.
Get a good night of sleep the day before the test. Eat a
good breakfast. Have your materials in order. Make sure you’re comfortable in your seat –
you’ll be there for a while! Maximizing your physical and mental readiness means maximizing
your score.
Walk before you run.
LSAT skills are like muscles that need to be trained and conditioned,
and that takes time. Build up to understanding how the LSAT works, and how you can
conquer it. Getting a not-so-stellar score on your first couple LSAT prep tests is also not
as stressful when you give yourself enough time to pick up the No. 2 pencil again and try
more tests.

Understand how YOU learn.
Taking advice from former LSAT-test takers is great. But you

might learn differently. Don’t hesitate to test out multiple study methods until you find the

one that works best for YOU.
Anticipate test-like conditions.
Try to completely simulate what test day is going to be
like – with a few added distractions. Test anxiety can be the hardest thing to overcome when
it comes to the LSAT. But anticipating what test day will be like will help you feel more in
control of the situation, minimizing test-day jitters.
Know what method of studying works best for you.
If you are easily distracted and cannot
focus studying on your own, spend the money and take a prep class. On the other hand, don’t
think that you have to take a prep course if you are confident you can make the time and can
successfully study on your own.
Give yourself ample time to prepare for the LSAT.

There is no set time that will guarantee

success on the test. I needed a couple months to feel confident in my abilities but everyone has

their own pace.
Do not rush yourself on the LSAT.
On my first practice LSAT I went through the problems
as fast as I could thinking I would have time to go back through my answers. My result was
awful. Go at a pace that will be fast enough to get through the whole test, yet is comfortable
enough to feel confident.
