LSAT Advice - From the Experts at Boston College
Here’s a link to the Boston College website on questions regarding the LSAT. Now this is a superb resource for test-takers or the generally curious, as it breaks down information from LSAT facts, misconceptions, test prep, importanting points, and “testwiseness”
Here is an excerpt from the first three tips in the testwiseness section:
#1 Prepare to concentrate immediately, intensely, steadily, and to your utmost. The passive test-taker gets nowhere. There’s no time to reread. Attack the problem actively the first time around. And be in condition to keep this up for 3 1/2 hours.
#2. Take time to understand the directions. You’re being tested on following difficult and unexpected directions. Pay particular attention to the exact wording of definitions. Some of these are very strange, too.
#3. Don’t misread, don’t skim, don’t “speed-read.” The time pressure comes from the required speed of thinking, not of reading. Read carefully for exact wording, exact meaning. Underline key words.
