Law School

Yale Law School

In The Lawyers, Martin Mayer’s brilliant survey of the legal profession, Mayer describes law school as the “crown jewel” of the American higher education system. Why such high praise? In general, American higher education follows a path of ever increasing specialization. Law school is unique in that it builds on the same broad reading, writing, and analytical skills that are the hallmark of a fine liberal arts education. If you are a liberal arts major with an interest in developing the same core skills that you worked so hard to develop as an undergraduate, law school provides a unique opportunity for you to further your education. This is true whether or not you intend to practice law. As Mayer describes in his book, lawyers work in all kinds of different organizations including business, education, banking, insurance, publishing, and non-profits, to name only a few of the opportunities available to newly minted lawyers. To successfully apply to law school there are two prerequisites: an undergraduate degree and a high LSAT score. It is not necessary to be enrolled in a pre-law program.

Law School Admissions Council (LSAC)

There is a lot of information on the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) website. It is normal to feel a bit overwhelmed at first. The fastest way to get your bearings is to click on the menu at the top right of the LSAC homepage. Then, click and hold on “LSAT” to see the pull-down menu for LSAT. The LSAT pull-down menu puts everything LSAT related at your fingertips. Take a moment to really study the LSAT pull-down menu. This will save you lots of time and frustration.

Prepmaster Review courses and textbooks are designed with one goal in mind—to prepare individuals to achieve a high score on the LSAT. For this reason, our classes and textbooks focus on the intellectual aspects of the LSAT. The LSAC website, on the other hand, is your one and only source for authoritative, up-to-date information regarding all other aspects of the LSAT including:

Law School Admission Test (LSAT)

The LSAT is the only standardized test accepted by all ABA-accredited law schools in the United States. Each year, more than 100,000 potential law school applicants worldwide take the LSAT. The LSAT is administered in two parts. The first part of the test is a multiple-choice exam. Beginning in August 2024, the scored multiple-choice portion of the LSAT will include two Logical Reasoning sections and one Reading Comprehension section. The second part of the test is a written essay called LSAT Argumentative Writing. You can either take the LSAT at a digital testing center or you can take the LSAT remotely in a digital, remotely proctored environment. It is extremely important to familiarize yourself with the technical requirements for either test modality. The technical requirements are explained in detail on the LSAC website.

Official LSAT Prep Resources

LSAC official LSAT prep resources are your indispensable source for extra practice material. According to the LSAC website:

“Research shows that taking more full practice tests is the most effective way to prepare for the LSAT.”

Perhaps it is old fashioned, but I love to study with a book in hand. If you also prefer to study with a book, be sure to purchase The New Official TriplePrep Volume 2 (see link below). The three actual LSAT exams contained in this book reflect the latest LSAT format introduced in August 2024.

The Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools was previously available in book format. It is now provided free of charge on the LSAC website.

Credential Assembly Service (CAS)

The Credential Assembly Service (CAS) streamlines the law school admission process by allowing applicants to have all transcripts and recommendations sent only once to LSAC.

Preparing for the LSAT

Prepmaster Review utilizes a divide and conquer strategy. Think of taking all the prior LSATs that have been administered. Now imagine cutting out each question with a pair of scissors. As you work, place each question in a separate pile that represents a particular question type. (In Logical Reasoning, for example, some of the question types we identify are evidence questions, deductive reasoning questions, inference questions, consistency and contradiction questions, argument recognition questions, etc.) Our seminar teaches students how to identify each question type, develops a basic approach for each question type, and includes extensive practice material organized by question type and generally arranged from less difficult to more difficult. Another way to describe our basic approach is that first we look for “patterns” and then we “practice.”

LSAT Classroom Seminars

The primary advantage of the LSAT Classroom Seminar is the discipline imposed. Contact with teachers and students in a classroom setting is a powerful motivational tool. Classes are scheduled on a weekend close to your LSAT test date for maximum effectiveness. Classes are taught by law students or law school graduates who scored at the 90th percentile or higher on the LSAT. Classes include diagnostic testing; 16 hours of expert classroom instruction with extensive practice exercises; all practice exercises are administered, scored, and fully explained in class. Problem sets worked during class are the equivalent of taking three full length LSATs. A sample LSAT is administered under actual test conditions. The sample LSAT is scored before you depart the class. Finally, several practice tests are provided for additional practice following the course.

Each LSAT Classroom Seminar location is an independent business with its own website. There you will find a very detailed course description with instructor credentials, seminar dates, prices, and online registration for each location. (At most locations the LSAT Classroom Seminar costs $499.)

LSAT Self Study Course

The comprehensive six-week study plan includes diagnostic testing to identify your strengths and weaknesses; separate chapters for each question type show you how to approach each question type with understanding and confidence; extensive practice exercises with complete explanations for every question develop your test-taking skills; finally, a self-administered sample LSAT allows you to measure your progress with precision.

Student Comments

“I doubt I have ever made a wiser educational investment than the one I made to take the Prepmaster Review LSAT Classroom Seminar and Self Study Course. I am convinced this program was the key to my scoring a 175 on the LSAT. The classroom seminar boosted the results I had already achieved with your self study course. Your materials closely approximated the questions I encountered on the actual LSAT.”

—David Murphee, Auburn, Alabama

“I received a 90th percentile LSAT score after taking your classroom seminar. I am urging all the prelaw students at my university to register for the Prepmaster Review LSAT Classroom Seminar. I would like to note that the instructor at the Memphis course location was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and above all helpful. With instructors like this it is no wonder Prepmaster Review is so successful.”

—John Wilson Eaton, III, Bartlett, Tennessee

“I finished another, much more expensive, six-week course before I enrolled in your LSAT Classroom Seminar. Prepmaster Review is definitely the superior course—at any price—but considering cost, Prepmaster Review really stands out as the best value.”

—Robert Dullis, Dallas, Texas

“Just a hurried note to thank your Atlanta instructor for a job well-done. The results of my December LSAT were very satisfying. I scored 163. Without Prepmaster Review I could not have done half so well. Again, thank you.”

—Jonathan deJong, Atlanta, Georgia

Admissions Secrets

Our philosophy is simple: careful preparation and hard work generally lead to success. This philosophy is just as applicable to law school admissions as it is to other areas of life. Your LSAT score is one of several factors in the admissions process over which you exercise a degree of control. (After all, there is little you can do, at this point, to alter your GPA.)

In general, schools are looking for higher LSAT scores and undergraduate grades. Many are also looking for unique work experience, thoughtful letters of recommendation, and well-drafted personal statements. Most law schools use an index of LSAT and GPA results to classify an applicant as a “presumptive admit,” a “maybe,” or a “presumptive denial,” depending on the school’s targeted range of scores. Thus, at most schools that middle group (“maybe”) becomes the playing field where factors beyond LSAT scores and GPA results are most important.
