The LSAT is the required entrance exam for most U.S. law schools. LSAT scores are perhaps the single most important factor considered by admissions committees in assessing applicants. In some cases, strong LSAT scores can make the difference in acceptance into highly ranked schools or in garnering thousands in competitive scholarships.
This three-week course covers the format and structure of the LSAT, teaches test-taking strategies and trains students in logical reasoning and analysis—the skills required for success on the exam.
The LSAT is comprised of four sections measuring three intellectual skills:
-
Logical reasoning
-
Reading comprehension
-
Writing ability
Weeks one and two of the course focus on logical reasoning, while week three focuses on reading comprehension.
Class each day consists of a mixture of lecture and work on practice questions. Typically, a short period of instruction is followed by the completion of a problem set. Subsequently, the questions are reviewed and discussed along with strategies for the successful approach of various types of questions. On Fridays, we review the course material taught so far, and students participate in workshops focusing on professional development or preparing for the law school application process.
Students will take a practice LSAT exam on the first and last days of the course to measure progress.
