Regardless of how they begin, the students who do best on the LSAT inevitably share some common approaches to studying for the LSAT. Through my years of tutoring for the test, I’ve noted the qualities of those who score best on the exam, and what they did to best prepare themselves. So, here are the best LSAT habits to develop during your preparation!

In that vein, here are some LSAT timing tips to help with the timing side of things!

Last week, Harvard announced that, as part of a pilot program, it would accept GRE scores for admission to its law school. It joins the University of Arizona as the only two accredited law schools to allow the GRE to be used in place of the LSAT.
