LSAT Resources
The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is the entrance exam used by law schools to help determine admission. In fact, your LSAT score and prior academic performance are the two most important factors considered in your potential admission to law school. The LSAT tests your ability to think through problems and focuses on logical reasoning, analytical reasoning, and critical reading.
The LSAT dates for 2005-2006 are: June 6, October 1, December 3, and February 4. Alternate dates are available for Saturday Sabbath observers. For more information on test registration, review the LSAT Information at the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) website.
There are several organizations ready to help you prepare for the LSAT. While many people can prepare on their own, using a preparation book or computer software, others enjoy taking a course with other people and learning in a more structured environment.
