The most important part of getting into law school is not your GPA, but the score you get on the Law School Admission Test. Many pre-law students know that this exam is not easier and seek out the help of test preparation courses that will teach them the basics of logical theory.

The point range for scores is on a scale of 120 to 180. What is interesting is that on any given exam, the results are always the same:

** 10% of those who take the test score 162 or above

** 20% score 142 or below

** 70% fall between 142 and 162

So how do these figures translate into whether or not you go off to Harvard or Berkeley?

Well if you happen to score below a 150, your chance of getting into law school is probably not going to happen because there is too much competition from others trying to get into law and colleges look for those who score in the top ten percent. If you happen to score over a 165, there is a good chance that you will have law colleges contending over you and you will be able to select the school of your choice.

When a student takes the LSAT, they should be conscious of the types of questions on the test. The examination is broken down into five parts. This is further broken down into three types known as logical reasoning, reading comprehension, and logic games. Also on every test, you will have at least two logical reasoning sections with a possibility of a third if it is also the experimental.

There is so much pressure on students who study for the Law School Admission Test that they tend to look for tricks to getting by on the exam. There are no quick and simple methods to solving questions on the LSAT. The only way to make this test to be less of a hurdle is to study logic theory until you can make it second nature to you.

One of the biggest myths to taking this exam is that if you don’t know the answer, pick the answer D. Many people have been told incorrectly that D is the answer that comes up the most and if you don’t know the answer than picking this fourth answer has the greatest probability of being right. You must realize that there are no preferred letters on the LSAT and guessing any letter has equal chance of chance of being correct.

Another thing that students sometimes don’t understand is that here is also only one correct answer for every question. There are no point scales in your answers, but there are answers that are very similar to the right choice and are placed there by the Law School Admissions Council to try to hoodwink you. Remember that all the wrong answers have a flaw in them that can be figured out if you had the proper time.

If you are deciding to go to law school and you have to take the LSAT, it is always best to get a tutor or take a preparation class that can best teach you the fundamentals of logic theory. Without a grasp of these concepts, you will not get a score that will get you in the school of choice.
