LAW SCHOOL LSAT
NONACADEMIC PREP

 

On the day of the LSAT, you should only have to worry about at most one thing--the LSAT. To minimize your chances of having other things to worry about, prepare in advance by doing all of the following and more:

  • Several days before the day of the test, see Day of the Test (pages 12-14 of the 2006-2007 SAT & LSDAS Information Book. .
  • If you have never driven to your LSAT test center, make sure that you take this drive at least several days prior to the the day of the LSAT (preferably on the same day of the week that the LSAT is on). .
  • If the time it takes you to drive to the test center is too great, spend the night before the LSAT at a motel or hotel near the test center; make your reservations early. .
  • The evening before the LSAT is a time for relaxing, not for cramming or partying.
  • Spend the evening before the LSAT in a quiet and relaxing place; if necessary, rent a motel or hotel room near the test center. .  ..
  • The evening before the LSAT, check the weather forecast. If inclement weather is expected on the morning of the test date, allow more time for travel to the test center or spend the night before the test date at a motel or hotel near the test center. .
  • Set at least two alarms and, if necessary, ask someone to give you a wake-up call. .
  • Allow plenty of travel time so that you arrive early at the LSAT. .
  • Do not go into the LSAT hungry. Have your usual breakfast but, if desirable, slightly augmented. .
  • On the day of the LSAT, be sure to take your LSAT admission ticket and a form of identification that includes your signature and descriptive information; a photo driver's license should be acceptable. .
  • The room in which the LSAT is given may be too warm or too cold for you; dress so that you can be comfortable in all reasonable room temperatures. .
  • If prior to when the LSAT is to be given, you believe that health problems, lack of preparation, serious personal problems, etc. may affect your performance on the LSAT, consider not showing up for the LSAT that day. .
  • COUNTDOWN TO TEST DAY indicates some steps to take prior to test day.
