More Keys to LSAT Success - Avoiding SWT (and Other Distractions)
Before actually taking the LSAT, some prospective takers do a little strutting about how well they’ve done on their practice tests—many fewer can do so after getting their scores back. Most takers don’t match the range they thought they could achieve; many fall off precipitously. A few people, however, meet or exceed their best practice score. There are many reasons why a distinct minority of people match or top their best practice score.

Three Keys to Success on the LSAT: Simplify, Simplify and Simplify
If you’ve started thinking about preparing for the LSAT, you’ve probably gone to your local bookstore or online and come home with an armload of LSAT study guides (or their online equivalent).
