Preparing yourself for the law exam
One of the problems that we all have these days is that basic qualifications just aren’t enough to get us into the various schools that we’d like to go to.
Instead, what we have are the likes of LSAT prep courses which are designed to get you over the hurdles in the form of aptitude tests hat the specialist schools now place in front of us seemingly at every stage. Do they work though? Well, yes, to a point. What they will do beyond you looking at sample LSAT tests on your own is briefing as to what is being looked for in each type of question and that’s often far from obvious.
What they won’t do is to do anything like double your score. Thanks to the work that the schools put into developing these tests, it’s largely impossible to significantly increase your score. However, that’s not always necessary. Think about the simple case where, say, 50% is a pass, 49% is a fail and you’re consistently getting something like 46 or 47. You don’t need to double your score: you just need to add a few percentage points. That’s the case for a surprisingly large number of people sometimes.
The other reason why it’s worth looking into is simply because everyone else is doing it. The overall effect of that is that the schools adjust the pass mark upwards to take account of this which in turn means that we all need to up our game.
