Final June LSAT Registration Deadline Today: Are You Ready?
You must register through the LSAC’s website or by phone by midnight tonight if you want to take the June LSAT. If you can come up with the correct diagram* for the contrapositive of the last sentence, you might be in good shape for the June LSAT, but there are some other skills you should have learned by now, as well.
What You Should Know if You’re Ready for the June LSAT
Your best practice LSAT score is still ahead of you. We still have three and a half weeks of prep time for the June LSAT. So, you shouldn’t let your current practice LSAT scores determine whether or not you’re ready to merely register for the June LSAT. At this point you’re probably still struggling with timing. If your accuracy is pretty high (the ratio of correct answer choices to questions attempted), you’re going to enjoy a pretty sizable LSAT score improvement once you get your timing down.

A Guide to Blueprint Prep-Area June LSAT Testing Centers
As you know, the LSAT is a huge deal. It consists of nothing more than pencil and paper, but your performance on LSAT test day could very well determine your entire legal career. Therefore, there’s a lot of tension on these days. The last thing you need is some sort of distraction with the LSAT testing center room.
Scroll through the comments any of our LSAT blog’s past LSAT test day instant recaps, and you’ll find, unfortunately, that distractions are rampant in LSAT testing centers. Oftentimes it’s an annoying or inexperienced proctor. Sometimes it’s the chairs they put you in. Either way, it’s not uncommon for months of intense LSAT prep to go to waste because LSAC can’t consistently maintain their LSAT testing centers. And there are a lot of LSAT testing centers.
Allow us to help.

Just follow these quick tips and you’ll be back to saving your LSAT score (and Earth) in no time.

Make Quantified Logic on the LSAT Easier By Simplifying It
During Blueprint LSAT Prep courses, few subjects are more vexing for students than quantified logic. Shoot, it even sounds scary.
But it doesn’t have to be.
On every LSAT, there are a handful of Logical Reasoning questions that test a student’s ability to combine all, most, some, and no statements. The problem is that there are a number of combinations that the LSAT can throw in your direction, and memorizing all of these combinations is reminiscent of calculus class (also know as the reason you are going to law school in the first place).
Good news: When broken down, there are really only two principles that define the valid and invalid conclusions that can be drawn from quantified statements.

Key to Great LSAT Scores Same as Key to Great Quarterbacks
Today’s guest LSAT blog post is by Shawdi Vara, a former Blueprint LSAT Prep student who is currently attending UC-Davis Law School.
Joe Montana, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady all have poor short term memory. Before you freak out that this is an LSAT blog post about football, let me give you an example of what I mean.
Fresh in my mind is an example from San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick in the divisional playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. On the first drive, he dropped back to pass. His first look: double covered. His second look: covered. He felt pressure, and tried to escape the pocket, but couldn’t. He then threw a terrible pass, which Green Bay intercepted and returned for a touchdown.

LSAT Prep Lessons You Can Learn From Tax Day
Happy Tax Day, fellow Americans. As you (should) know, today is the last day for you to send in your tax return. For many, it’s a day rife with anxiety and marked by a harried late night journey to the post office. For others, it’s a day forgotten, only to be remembered too late. For this group the consequences can be severe. Too often this group will receive notice from the IRS that they owe ol’ Uncle Sam a stack of cold hard bendy-foldies. “But I’ve already spent the money I owe,” they plead. “I have to take a job I don’t really like to pay back the money,” they squeal. These folks are not terribly different from those who forget to study (or start studying late) for the LSAT.
The LSAT is a test of skill, not knowledge. The best way to develop a skill is through flawless repetition. The later you begin your studies, the less repetition you’re able to get in. Less repetition leads to flawed technique. Flawed technique leads to lower LSAT scores.

Don’t Freak Out About Your First LSAT Practice Exam Score
Most Blueprint LSAT Prep live courses for the spring started on Sunday. This is big time super fun news for our students as they embark on their journey to a big time super fun June LSAT score. But as far as journeys go, this can be a rather traumatic one. If you’ve never taken an LSAT before, it’s a punishingly difficult test that’s incredibly long and tiring to boot. As you take it for the first time, you generally have no idea what the hell’s going on as you frantically bubble in those 125 multiple choice answers. When it’s finally over you stumble home in a daze, grade your LSAT practice exam, then get your LSAT score.
At this point, most people panic. Feelings of dread and uncertainty fill you when you see that your LSAT score is lower than you’d like. Like, way lower. Like, “Jesus Christ, oh, Jesus Christ” lower than you’d like.

Law Schools Will Google You, So Clean Up Those Tweets
I spend a lot of time on Twitter. Offering LSAT advice, pepping people up who seem down on their LSAT studies, that sort of thing.
And at least twice a day, I read a tweet that says, “I’m about to smoke this blunt then hit up the LSAT studiezzzzzzzzzzz.”
Most of the time, I can tell someone’s general demographic information from this tweet. Where they live. A first name. Even a picture. Looking at their history, I can usually even get a list of law schools to which they’re applying.
Starting to see why this is a bad thing? Ready for an after-school-special style LSAT blog post?
Law school admissions officers will look at your online presence.

The Clock is Ticking to Cancel Your December LSAT Score
If you took the December LSAT, there are probably a few questions you wish you could have back. You may be wondering whether you should cancel your LSAT score, and since tomorrow is the last day you can do so, it’s time to make up your mind.
First, let’s talk about how cancelling your LSAT score works. You can download the LSAT score cancellation form on LSAC’s website. Then, to cancel your LSAT score, you need to fill out and sign the form, then send it to LSAC by fax (if you’re sane) or overnight mail (if for some reason you like throwing money away). The form needs to be received by tomorrow.
Once you cancel your LSAT score, neither you nor law schools will know what your LSAT score would have been, but law schools will know that you canceled.

Just a couple days ago, thousands of students sat for the December LSAT. And as they await their LSAT scores, the LSAT wheel now turns to focus on those taking the February LSAT. But you winter babies would do well to learn from the trials of your December brethren. Here are six pieces of advice December LSAT students would give February LSAT students.
February LSAT Advice From December LSAT Test-Takers I: Schedule out your LSAT study time
People studying for the December LSAT faced a number of obstacles – working around Thanksgiving, dealing with college classes, etc. February LSAT students are no different. You have to plan out your LSAT study time in advance, because if you’re a student you’ll already have to be working around finals, and there’s also Christmas and New Years to contend with.
