Why would taking the LSAT is a requirement for positions with legal firms? Well, one of the main reasons is that firms often have a high turnover. When a new employee is hired, that the new hire will be placed in an administrative role with little supervision. This person will not hold the title of a practicing lawyer and will receive very little guidance from any lawyers who are on the staff. If the new hire does not possess excellent listening skills, writing skills, or other necessary tools to become an effective legal representative for their firm, they may waste time with clients who do not have the legal expertise they need.
When I took the LSAT, it was immediately obvious that I needed better listening and writing skills. I quickly realized that I needed to devote a considerable amount of time to learning these skills before taking the exam. Even after spending months training myself to be prepared for the exam, I was surprised at how poorly the exams prepared me for the realities of legal practice. I had forgotten that I would need to speak slowly, understand the meaning of difficult words, and I needed to be able to string together my thoughts. It was obvious to me that I would need a better comprehension of legal documents and procedures, if I was to ever become a competent and successful lawyer.
Another reason I felt so inadequate as a result of my LSAT results was because I did not take the time to read the LSAT preparation guides. I had no idea what I was doing when I prepared for the test and did not spend enough time reviewing the materials to prepare for the exam. As a result, I was unable to properly prepare for the council exam results.
In addition to the above problems, I also wasted several hours researching the LSAT before taking the actual LSAT test. As a result of my research, I became uncertain about what questions to expect during the test. When I actually sat down to take the test, I ended up having to flip through the multiple-choice section, and struggling with the kinds of questions I thought I knew the answers to. The time I spent preparing for the LSAT was severely lacking.
To prepare for the LSAT, you need to study hard, memorize everything you can, and study frequently. It’s also important that you get into the habit of following the LSAT study routine. There are many different schedules out there for studying for legal practice examinations, but all of them will fall short if you don’t do your homework ahead of time. The LSAT council exam results are only as good as the effort you put into your studies, and it’s crucial you make the most of your resources before the test day.
Once you’ve planned your strategy ahead of time, you should also have a strategy for evaluating your progress once the LSAT council exam results start coming in. Do you spend a lot of time reading the LSAT preparation guides? If so, then it would be wise to increase the amount of time spent reviewing the various sections. Do you practice taking the multiple choice test? If so, then it would be wise to increase the number of question types you use when reviewing your answers.
One of the biggest mistakes I made when preparing for the LSAT was not taking my preparations seriously. Instead of looking forward to the council exam results, I found myself brooding over the questions and thinking about ways to “sneak” up on the competition. By reviewing my strategies ahead of time, I was able to save time, increase the amount of questions I answered, and generally looked more prepared than I actually was. In the end, those results showed me that I had learned plenty about the law and about myself as a legal practitioner by spending time preparing for the LSAT council exam results.
