Just came across the blog: Most Strongly Supported: all things LSAT
They just published a great article about what NOT to do the day before the LSAT.
Though the day is almost over and those of you taking the test tomorrow should be thinking about going to bed soon, it is something worth checking out!

October 1st is here!
I am wishing the best of luck to those students taking the LSAT tomorrow morning!
What's the best way to prep for the LSAT?
There are several different methods of study for the LSAT. Self
study, an online course, or an in-classroom prep course are only a few.
The best one really depends on an individual's preferences, but
from research, I have found that an in-classroom prep course is reported
to have the best results.
The three most commonly used LSAT prep companies are Kaplan, Princeton Review, and TestMasters.
I recently finished my LSAT prep course with TestMasters.

Sit in on a First Year Law Course!
Sitting in on a first year law school course is probably the best way to get a feel for the school and teaching method law professors use.
I have had the opportunity to sit in on a class at Pacific's McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, California. It was a really neat experience to sit next to an actual first year student and observe what they do and how the professor teaches. The Socratic Method is known to be very intimidating, but students in the class seemed to handle it well.
It's also a good chance to see the classrooms and class sizes. These things vary from school to school so it is a good idea to visit as many as you can.
If you're interested in sitting in on a class, contact the school you desire to visit and set up a day and time. Most schools would be more than happy to have you! McGeorge was very welcoming and accommodating!

Individualized attention from law school representatives and staff members of the Law School Admission's Council (LSAC) is one you do not want to miss!
