In this guest post, Steve Schwartz, a professional LSAT tutor in NYC and blogger at LSAT Blog, shares 7 ways you can save money as you study for the LSAT.
1. Get LSAT PrepTests for free from the Law School Admission Council
You can download 2 LSAT PrepTests for free:
June 2007 LSAT - Free Sample PrepTest (PDF)
October 1996 LSAT - PrepTest 20 (PDF)
LSAC also gives provides a document containing several sample questions and explanations (PDF).
2. Find free LSAT books on Freecycle
Do a quick search of your local Freecycle site to see if anyone posted an advertisement to give away LSAT study materials. You also have the option to post an advertisement asking for LSAT books.
3. Create an LSAT study group
Do a search of Craigslist and LSAT-related Facebook groups to find possible study groups. Try to get study buddies who have strengths that will complement your weaknesses.
If you aren't able to find someone in your community who is preparing for the LSAT, get a friend to sit with you. Having him or her study or read as you study will keep you focused, just like a workout buddy.
4. Make sure you use books that contain actual LSAT questions
If a book doesn't say on the cover that it uses real LSAT questions, it probably using fake ones. Books with fake questions often contain numerous errors, which can drive you crazy. Stay away from these books.
5. Wait to take the LSAT until you are ready
Your final practice test scores should be close or above your minimal acceptable LSAT score.
As much as we'd like it, it's unlikely that you'll see a miracle on test day. Only take the LSAT when you are truly ready for it.
6. Check out reviews of LSAT test centers before you register
Ensuring that you're in a comfortable, organized, and quiet environment on test day will prevent one factor that might otherwise force you to retake it. No one wants that. See these reviews of LSAT test centers so that your LSAT registration will be for the best possible test centers.
7. Study my LSAT Blog
