5 Things to Remember Before Taking the December LSAT

Tomorrow’s the day: the December LSAT. By the early afternoon, it’ll all be over, leaving you to work on your law school applications as you wait for your LSAT score. For today, relax. Don’t touch those LSAT books. The LSAT studying you’ve been doing over the last weeks and months will help you out; cramming won’t.

Double check your LSAT test day list. If you still need a passport photo, go get one right now. Then, do whatever it takes to get your mind off tomorrow’s LSAT. Well, maybe “whatever it takes” is a little strong. Don’t do anything that’ll leave you, uh, impaired tomorrow.

We at Blueprint LSAT Prep would like to wish you good luck on tomorrow’s LSAT (here are some predictions for the December LSAT, if that interests you).

How to Stuff Some LSAT Prep into Your Thanksgiving Break

If you haven’t yet freaked out that Thanksgiving is tomorrow, here’s something that might turn your hair white: The December LSAT is in 10 days. Fear not. Turkey with family and friends need not impede your studying for the LSAT. Here’s your plan:

Tomorrow, sneak some LSAT studying in in the morning. Force yourself to wake up at a respectable hour and hit the books. Try to shirk as many preparatory duties for the feast as you can, but even if you have to bake the turkey you can sneak in some LSAT reading comp passages while everything’s in the oven.

Then, enjoy Thanksgiving with your family, friends or well-chosen strangers. You get the rest of the day off to eat, watch football, reprise long-dormant family disputes, or do whatever else you like to do on Thanksgiving. Do your best to forget about the LSAT and have fun.

Taking the October LSAT? Stick to Your LSAT Prep Schedule

Can you hear that? The October LSAT draws nigh. That’s right, you’ve got a scant three months before the big day. While you shouldn’t start stressing about hardcore LSAT studying just yet, you might want to consider the importance of having a schedule once it’s time to put that cute little nose to the proverbial grindstone.

The impact of serious LSAT study on one’s time cannot be overestimated. Chances are, you’re already a busy and industrious person. Going out with friends, rolling into Starbucks at 10:30 a.m. the next morning, and then figuring out where to eat brunch can all take a toll on one’s “free” time. Now you’ve got to figure out a way to squeeze all that in along with preparing for the biggest test of your life. No biggie.

Don’t Study for the LSAT Today (And Other Leap Year Myths)

Today is February 29! Also known as Leap Day, this occasion happens only once every four years (and sometimes only once every eight years). For tens of thousands of years, this magical day has filled mankind with wonder, and there are a lot of superstitions and beliefs about the day. They might not all be true, but they probably are.

Let’s take a look:

It’s OK to propose to a man on Leap Day – Ladies out there, are you tired of waiting for your man to propose? Well today, and today only, you’re allowed to do some role-reversal and propose to your boyfriend! You may remember this tradition, as it was popularized a few years ago by the famously terrible movie Leap Year. If you want to take part in this tradition, you have to make sure to wear a partially visible red petticoat under your dress (really).

T-Minus One Month Until February LSAT Test Day

For those of you who are counting (i.e. all of you), there’s exactly one month until the February LSAT. Some of you just registered for the test and think there’s plenty of time left. Others are freaking out, thinking that it’s almost here!

You’re both right.

One month will fly by if you don’t have a proper study plan. While the entire process should be governed by a schedule, it’s even more important to have one for the next four weeks to maximize your LSAT prep efforts.

First, clear off a bit of your schedule. You want to make sure that you have enough time to go over everything that you need to.

Waiting For Your LSAT Score Over the Holidays

It’s the holidays! Yay! You’re still waiting for your LSAT score! Yay! Wait…that’s not right. It’s an unfortunate truth that you can’t get your gift shopping done without that little voice in the back of your head reminding you that you haven’t yet received the score that could very well determine where you go to law school. No biggie though, right? It’s not as though you want to relax and enjoy your time off school or work without worry, basking in the particular type of glow that can only be produced through the right ratio of drunk relatives to poorly conceived gifts. And yet somehow, you manage to be unhappy about having yet to receive your LSAT score. Well, bah humbug. Here’s some advice to help you ignore that nagging little voice.

1. Booze it up

At the Starting Gate of Your LSAT Class

Blueprint classes for the February LSAT are kicking off this week, and students across the U.S. are encountering the LSAT for the first time, the start of a relationship that over the next few months will blossom (hopefully) into a full blown, Hugh Grant-worthy love affair with the logic of the LSAT.

And while the February LSAT may seem distant and these first lessons straightforward and somewhat introductory, it’s of the utmost importance that you gain a solid understanding of these initial concepts. The methods in the class build upon themselves. These first few lessons provide the foundation for everything to come; not fully understanding validity or logical force will do more than interfere with your success on Must Be True questions, it will destroy your ability to spot a flawed argument, much less strengthen/weaken one, not to mention finding sufficient and necessary assumptions.

Wake Up Early and Follow These Best LSAT Practices

As you anxious LSATers eventually make your way to law school and you consider such matters as fiduciary duty and compliance, you’ll run into the phrase “best practices” on at least a semi-frequent basis. It’s a phrase that describes the actions one should take to avoid liability.

Well, if you want to avoid a score in the 150s, then you should follow these LSAT best practices.

LSAT Best Practice #1: Study Early

In this case, “early” has two meanings. The first has to do with how many prep days you give yourself before the actual date of the LSAT. Up to a point, the more days you have, the better. You don’t want to give yourself so much time that you run out of things to practice, but with the catalogue of questions ever expanding, that hardly seems likely.

The Countdown Begins: 8 Weeks Until the October LSAT

So the two-month countdown timer has started ticking. I’ll give you a minute to let that sink in, deal with the freakout, maybe do a shot or two, and then come back to the computer.

Done?

Maybe another shot is in order.

For some of you, the studying is well under way. For others, the process has just begun. No matter what the case, it’s important to have a plan for the last two months to get the most out of the time left. Because every point on the LSAT translates to a better school and/or more scholarship money. And isn’t that what law school is all about? Cold, hard, smelly cash.
