What should I study for LSATs?
My main goal is to get into law school, though I am slightly unaware as to what to study. Does anyone know what I should focus on? #law-school #college

The Law School Admissions Test is a supercharged reading test. You read passages and answer multiple choice comprehension questions under time constraints. I recommend going to a public library and checking out some of their LSAT preparation materials. In the alternative, any bookstore will have LSAT materials for sale. Read news and science magazines too.

Paula,
There are various LSAT study programs you can do, all of which probably cost money. I have an old LSAT study guide I bought at a book store. And a separate one to teach me how to study for the "Logic Games." These are very complex problems that you must think through and solve. There is no time during the test to use the trial and error approach - either you know how to solve them or you don't. You may have already seen some of these problems: Jonathan, Jimmy, and Joseph each went to a different football game. One of them wore a red shirt, one wore a blue shirt, and one wore a purple shirt. The team that Jonathan supported won the game. The person who wore the blue shirt was supporting a team that did not win. . . . .etc etc!
If you have started college, check to see if they have a pre-law program. Check to see what is available on-line. There will be a lot more to this than just the LSAT. It is important that you prepare yourself for law school. Take challenging classes and activities: speech, debate, anything to develop critical thinking, research, and writing skills. I encourage you to take a Logic class - it is really interesting!
