How to Have the Best Luck in Your LSAT Prep
The next administration of the LSAT is on Monday, June 11. Blueprint classes for the June LSAT are starting soon (one this weekend, three next weekend, and most of the rest the following weekend). Saint Patrick’s Day, that celebration of Irish culture that somehow becomes a reason for everyone else to get wasted too, is tomorrow, March 17. What do these three things have to do with each other? They mean you should go out and have a good time. Party. Go wild, if that’s your thing. Just not a three-month bender; despite what some may tell you, that isn’t the path to LSAT success.
Your mind will soon spin with diagramming techniques, making deductions in logic games, identifying sufficient and necessary conditions, and lots of other LSAT-related stuff. For now, don’t worry about that. Occupy your mind instead with getting a drink for that attractive so-and-so across the room.

A Few Days Left to Cancel Your February LSAT Score
The February 2012 LSAT has gone the way of the dodo, never to be seen again. If you took it, congratulations. You should have a score coming to your inbox by March 7 (which really seems like a cruelly long time to wait). But what if you think that said score is going to be terrible? What if Saturday’s test was less of a fun run and more of a death march? Well, LSAC actually gives you the option of canceling your score.
First, the logistics. To cancel your score, LSAC has to receive a written request within six calendar days. So you wouldn’t want to just send it in a regular ol’ letter – you should either fax or overnight it to them. If you do choose to cancel your score then LSAC won’t grade it, and law schools will never know how you did on it (neither will you). What law schools will know, however, is that you took the test and then cancelled your score.

February 2012 LSAT Withdraw Deadline is Tomorrow
Ahhh, late withdrawal. The cause of many an unwanted pregnancy. Wait. Wrong blog. Was I supposed to take a left at Albuquerque? Anyway, moving right along…
Ahhh, late withdrawal. The cause of many a lost LSAT registration fee (there, that’s better). That’s right kids, your last chance to shirk February LSAT test day draws nigh (as in, tomorrow). But should you take it (your chance, that is)?
As with all matters law, it depends. As those of you who read the second paragraph may have noticed, late LSAT withdrawal means total forfeiture of your registration fee. So you have to be okay with throwing away that cash before you start asking yourself any other questions.

Time to Hunker Down if it’s Your Third LSAT in Two Years
Are you ready for a slew of clichés? Good, because here they come.
It’s crunch time.
It’s the bottom of the ninth.
It’s the last two minutes of the fourth quarter.
This one’s for all the marbles.
The whole enchilada.
Hopefully you’ve gotten the point by now. What the crap am I talking about, though?
Well, for some folks out there, this is the last LSAT they’ll be able to take for a while.

The rush of adrenaline, the crushing weight of your future – all of these will lead you to go out and forget your troubles, Cheers-style.

Have you been LSAT Naughty or LSAT Nice?
You better watch out, because LSAT Santa is coming to town. Have you been naughty or nice? If you’ve been nice, you’ll get a great LSAT score in your stocking. If you’ve been naughty, you’ll go to business school.
Doing Your Homework Quickly – NAUGHTY – Rushing your homework without understanding why you missed the questions you did means that you won’t be learning from your mistakes. This will make LSAT Santa angry and he’ll fill your stocking with coal.
Doing Your Homework Thoroughly – NICE – Taking your time to fully understand every question, and then taking the time to review your misses means you’ll be less likely to miss similar questions in the future. LSAT Santa will be happy and he’ll fill your stocking with scholarship money.

Five Things to Repeat to Yourself on LSAT Test Day
The December LSAT is in three short days. You probably want to panic, but don’t. This is exciting. You’ve prepared for weeks and weeks, and all that hard work is going to pay off. Keep reminding yourself of that, all the way until the test. And when you’re taking the test itself on Saturday, keep telling yourself these things to stay calm:
It’s Just Another Practice Exam – People tend to think that their LSAT will somehow be different. They think that since it’s the real LSAT exam, it will somehow be harder. But it won’t be. Sure, things change here and there, but for the most part it’s not going to be new or different. Remember: Everyone around you Saturday studied for the same thing.
The LSAT is Incredibly Interesting – This applies mostly to reading comp on the LSAT.

5 Things that Must Happen in Your Last Month of LSAT Study
Today is November 3, exactly one month from the December 2011 LSAT. To some of you, this realization may strike fear in your hearts (or at least anxiety in your stomachs) – it’s only 30 days and there’s so much LSAT study to do! To others, it may be more time than you’d desire, at least those who fondly remember having time for a social life before all this LSAT study. Actually, a month happens to be the perfect amount of time, but only if you’re going about your LSAT study properly. To make sure you are ready to rock it next month, here are the top five things you must do as part of your LSAT study and preparation over the next 30 days:
1) Memorize every common flaw. Memorizing and understanding flaws is the single most helpful thing you can add to your LSAT study to improve your score (at least in LR).

Why is the LSAC So Strict on LSAT Test Day?
The LSAC has always been a little excessive in their restrictions and policies, requiring finger printing, prohibiting mechanical pencils and sweaters with hoods (even if you’re not wearing the hood and it’s 20 degrees out), and recently, requiring students to bring a headshot picture of themselves, in addition to their ID. These policies may have been started with good intentions, but collectively they come off as somewhat comical, if not outright paranoid. Are they really worried that I’m going to turn my digital watch into some sort of a James Bond-inspired wireless transponder? Has the LSAC forgotten that I’m going to law school to avoid engineering, not to exploit it?
Add to the picture proctors tasked with interpreting and enforcing these rules, wielding absolute power over the futures of a few hundred stressed out pre-law students, and a whole new level of paranoid nonsense arises.
