When to Register for the LSAT

Register for the official LSAT only when your  practice test scores indicate that you’re ready. You will know you’re  ready when the average of your most recent 5–10 practice test scores is  comfortably within your goal score range.

Don’t focus too much on any  one number. LSAT score variance is normal. Aim for a score that is likely to earn scholarships at your target law schools.

Don't Pay for Law School

Most law students get scholarships. The savviest among them pay nothing. Don’t pay full tuition (and fund your classmates’ scholarships). You,  too, can go to law school for free if you play the game right.

Check out the LSAT Demon Scholarship Estimator and see how a higher LSAT score could earn you a full-ride scholarship to law school.

Increase Your LSAT Score

Your LSAT score is one of the most important parts  of your law school application. A difference of a few points can mean  the difference between rejection and being offered a full scholarship at some law schools. Don’t apply to law school until you have your best  LSAT score.
