When is the best time to take the Lsats?

It's smart to take them late in your junior year of college.  That way if you are not pleased with your score, you can take a prep course over the summer and test again early in the fall of your senior year.  That way you'll have your best scores ready in time for applications to law schools.

I think you get the score as soon as you finish taking them on the computer. \n\nBut who knows I took the LSAT.

Well for me the best time to study is on the night. Not sure it work for you not? But it does work for me till now i'm in college esp. in theory terms. Because from morning till noon our brain keeps on working until night the brain cells tend to be a bit more relax & that's the time for you to concentrate on your study. But not encourage to study heavy subject at night because that's the time our brain cells need to be relax. Believe me it'll be more stressfull when it comes to tomorrow mornin'. Try and arrange your time wisely. Make a timetable or make a plan/schedule. And when study subject esp. physics, do more calculation then just study blindly. "Study Smart","Good Luck" and "All The Best" in ur exam ;-)

First, 10 points is a solid improvement, congratulations.\n\nSecond, keep in mind that transferring law schools is not like transferring from a community college to a 4-year school - few schools are willing to accept transfers, and the competition is even more fierce.\n\nFinally, keep in mind that upper-level schools look for LSAT scores above 151.\n\nWith all this in mind, you are better off preparing for the February exam. Since you are aiming for 160+, look into prep classes. Check out a free LSAT Sample Class at your local Kaplan center to pick up a few tricks and see what we have to offer.\n\ngood luck!

Whenever you can fit in exercise is good.  If morning works better in your schedule, then that's the right time.  Otherwise evening is fine.  I usually exercise in the evening because that's when I have more time.

Work hard in undergrad and earn a good GPA.  Study hard for the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test), and take it several times, if necessary, to get a good score.  Apply to multiple schools, and good luck!

I haven't taken them yet but as with every other exam it takes practice. Practice, practice  practice! Get some past exam sheets and work on them. Try a tutoring program as well, the popular ones are Kaplan and Princeton review but I am pretty sure your college will have a Tutor. Talk to the pre-law adviser at your institution he should be able to give you more information. \n\nThe one thing I have to say is that there is no definite way to study for the LSATs each person has to find the way that's best suited for them.\n\nGood luck!

Junior year is the best time to start looking at colleges to see which ones fit you best ; taking into consideration total price, distance, majors offered, school ranking, loans, environment, crime rate and lots more. It is the best time to contact colleges and request info and to ask questions but beginning of senior year, september to be exact, is the time to apply. Make sure that all financial aid info is filled out and turned in. Keep an eye on deadlines for for financial aid as well as scholarship deadlines and requirements. By the end of your junior year you have secured a good GPA that might or might not be changing (might only change a little) so beginning of senior year is the best time. Junior year is also a good time to visit colleges though you could start as early as freshman year.

I'd check the schools' websites or contact the admissions office. Generally, though, take the tests right after you take a class (like the math tests after or during your highest level math class) and take tests that accentuate what you're already good and and what you're interested in. For example, I took writing (before it was part of the new SAT), Spanish language, and Math (both the easy and hard ones) because I wanted to major in either writing or Spanish at the time and was pretty good at math, too. Good luck!

A good first step would be learning to spell and punctuate and/or proofreading your questions before submitting them.  This is becuase being a lawyer entails tons of detail-oriented work.  Then, after your graduate from university (and if you are in the United States), take your LSAT exam.  Upon getting your LSAT scores, apply to law school (applications will require recommendations from professors, essays, transcripts from your undergraduate degree, etc.).  After 3 years of law school, you will have to take the bar exam in the state in which you wish to practice law.  Once you pass the bar, you are admitted to practice law in that state.  You will be a lawyer.

Always after work.  Wednesday and Sunday evenings are generally best.  Around 6 or 7pm on the West Coast (that way all the 9-5ers across the country are home from work).

Actually, you do have a chance of getting into a good law school with a 2.7.  I go to Loyola Law School, a very reputable school in Los Angeles, and I know several people who got in with a 2.8 or so.  Especially if you have a technical degree, they will forgive it a bit.  And the longer you have been out of college, the more weight they will put on your resume and LSAT score.\n\nBefore going back and getting a degree you won't necessarily need and spend more money on loans, you should take an LSAT prep course and see how high of a score you can get.  With a higher score, your GPA will be less of an issue.  As for your writing and speaking skills, you could always take a class at a junior college in public speaking and a grammar class to brush up.  They will teach you how to write in a "legal" way in law school.  Unless you really want a second BA, it may be worth seeing what schools you can get into with your degree now, and you can always re-apply after you get your second degree.\n\nAt the very least, take a practice LSAT now and see where you score.  Kaplan will give you one for free.  Then check out http://www.LSAC.org and they have a function where you can input your GPA and score and see where students with similar profiles go.\n\nAlso, keep in mind, teaching at an inner city high school is very respectable, you will have a strong personal statement and stand out from other applicants.  You also may have a better chance of getting into a part time program, which will be 4 years instead of 3, but still quicker than getting a second degree!!\n\nSo see how you are on the LSAT and give it a shot before you go running off for another 2 years.  You can take an LSAT prep course to help improve your score.  And your score is good for, I believe, 3 years for applications, so if you take it now and decide to go back for your BA, you may not have to take it again.\n\nGood luck with your decision, but do a little research before you rush off for a second BA just for the application - you would be better off spending six months or so studying your LSAT and high scoring than going back - they will look at the GPA for all of your degrees, I don't think they will just ignore your first one, even though they may not weigh it as highly.  So unless you do significantly better, it will be harder for you to bring up your overall GPA.

I think that elbartos advice is really good for the most part. Starting early and studying hard is the best way to prepare. I did about the same thing that elbarto did to prepare (6-8 months of study on my own using ACTUAL LSAT EXAMS), and scored in the 99.9th percentile. It really helped that I had a significant background in formal logic, and argument analysis having been a TA for those classes in undergrad. There may be things that you can't just pick up on your own but might with some help, but as to whether or not to drop several hundred dollars on a prep class, you should find out if you need it. Get some real tests, study them, then see how well you are doing compared with what you need to get to get into your top law school choices. If there is still a big gap then take a class. There are some that offer DVD courses with online content as well that make studying more convenient for those who's schedules are tricky, or you could look for a live class. Either way do some serious research before picking a class. There is a big difference between the classes out there.

You should absolutely re-take the LSAT. Consider doing it in February, before the LSAT change (unless you're very strong in comparative reading), and preparing for the LSAT over holiday/winter break. I'm sorry to hear you didn't benefit from your prep class. I teach for Kaplan, and every once in a while, I do get an ex-PR student in my class. Most of them end up ranting to me about their wasted tuition, right after they thank Kaplan for their scores. Try us - if your score doesn't improve, you'll get your money back!\n\nFinally, there are quite a few schools that don't require high LSAT scores. They are not famous or prestigious, and graduates usually have a harder time finding a first job, but a J.D. is a J.D., whether it comes from Stanford or Monteray school of Law.  \n\nIf you can pull a 3.5 with a triple major, you can do better than a 140 on the LSAT. Take the time to study and take it again.\n\nLighty\nMaster teacher\nSan Jose Kaplan

Many application deadlines are in January of the year you want to start, so unless you plan to skip a year between high school and college, you need to start thinking about it now, and start putting your application materials together by September or October of this year.\n\nOf course, there are many schools that will accept applications until August of next year, but those are not the best schools, and it is becoming more and more difficult to get accepted to colleges in the U.S., so it's best to start early.\n\nTake your SAT exam as soon as possible.

Practice tests and more practice tests.  Take the tests under "testing" conditions (i.e. time them all out precisely as they will be on the day of the exam).  Your timing on the LSAT (and the Bar exam, for that matter) is crucial.  Good luck.
