How Your GPA and LSAT Score Affect Your Admission Odds
Today we have a guest post from Anna Ivey, founder of Ivey Consulting.
In the last couple of weeks, we’ve explored the very first things you should be doing to prepare yourself for applying to law school this fall. (Here are Step 1 and Step 2, in case you missed them.)
By now, you should have created your LSAC account and registered for the October LSAT. (If you already took the June LSAT, gold star for you!) You should also be seeking out a great LSAT class or tutor. Not just good, but great.
Why does the LSAT matter so much? And why is a great LSAT course worth the investment?

5 Websites that Will Help You on LSAT Reading Comp
Success on LSAT Reading Comprehension depends a great deal on one’s reading ability (I know, you don’t need to be a prophet to arrive at this stunning revelation). But how do you become a “better” reader? You presumably mastered reading in middle school, so it may seem that by the time you reach adulthood your reading skills are as good as they’re going to get.
The truth of the matter, however, is that you can significantly improve your reading speed and comprehension by simply reading more. People who regularly read books and articles will not only read faster, but also have better retention of what they read. This is because ample reading literally improves your short-term memory, allowing you to retain content more accurately and for a longer period of time.
So if you are having trouble finishing LSAT Reading Comp passages in a timely manner, you know what you have to do—read more!

What Would They Score on the LSAT: Dallas Characters
If you’ve watched the characters in the 2012 revival of the TV show Dallas scheme to screw each other in business and, well, otherwise, you may have wondered what they would all score on the LSAT. What’s that you say? The LSAT never crossed your mind while watching Dallas?
Tough. Here are their LSAT scores*, anyway:
John Ross Ewing — Dallas LSAT score: 142. He’s brash, tempestuous and used to getting his way. While none of those things are necessarily deal-breakers for his LSAT score, he isn’t exactly a deep thinker, bro. Of the characters on Dallas, he’s the most likely to take personal offense at something in an LR question. LSAT test day would also be interesting, since it’s hard to imagine him sitting quietly and taking instructions from the LSAT proctors.

What LSAT Test-Takers Can Learn From LeBron’s Redemption
Whether or not you’re a sports fan, you no doubt had a hard time avoiding the coverage of the Miami Heat — or at least, LeBron James — winning the NBA title. “The King” actually has a crown now. Granted, in the past he may have made a poor decision, but he’s learned from his mistakes and reached the top of the mountain (or at least the top of some mountain, because Kobe, Mike, Larry and Magic can still see the top of LeBron’s rapidly receding hairline).
But there’s more to be gained from this momentous event than jokes at the expense of LeBron’s physical appearance. Indeed, any LSAT student can learn from LeBron’s example.
Some of you may think that going it alone, and trying to get that 99th percentile LSAT score on your own is the right path. Well, we all saw how well trying to win by yourself worked for LeBron in Cleveland. I seem to remember a certain team from San Antonio embarrassing the Cavs in the 2007 Finals.

LSAC: All LSATs Will Now Feature Two Pages for Logic Games
As June LSAT test-takers may recall, the latest LSAT administration by the Law School Admissions Council featured, for the first time ever, two pages for Analytical Reasoning.
Turns out, it wasn’t an accident.
LSAC Director of Communications Wendy Margolis confirmed today through email that all future administrations of the LSAT would henceforth feature two pages for logic games.
Although this isn’t the kind of news story that will open The Situation Room, in the world of LSAT this is quite significant. Aside from higher printing costs for LSAC, it means you’ll have more room on logic games on LSAT test day to take notes/write out diagrams/doodle LSAT proctors with unibrows and devil horns. It also shows that with enough protest, LSAT test-takers can persuade LSAC to change its ways.
