<p>Hello, I am currently a senior that is about to graduate, and planning on taking the LSAT in October. But just taking this practice test, I feel extremely overwhelmed, especially the logic games section. Is the LSAT really a good indicator of how you will do in Law School? Do all the people who do well on the test succeed in law school? And do those with lower LSAT scores struggle in Law School? Any responses will be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Don’t panic just yet! Start by looking here:</p>

<p>The logic section is one that you can learn with training. I don’t know if the lsat is an indicator of how well you will do in law school but it definitely an indicator of which law school you have a shot at getting in to. </p>
<p>Depending on the type of learner you are there are many options for LSAT prep. </p>
<p>This summer spend as much time as you can studying for the test and preparing your applications. You will have the best shot at acceptance if you apply early. Be ready to submit your apps as soon as you get your scores back.</p>

<p>Response, although the College Board cites corelations between first year law school performance and scores, I have NOT seen this corelation from the people that I know.</p>
<p>I know one guy who did horribly on the LSAT but had fabulous GPA in undergrad ( MD), MD let him in due to his connections. Let’s face it, they can’t turn down their own salutatorian. He ended up in the top 5% of the law school class.</p>
<p>My son did horribly and got admitted through the AAMPLE program where you have to take courses in the summer, and if you do well enough, you get admitted. He ended up being in the top 10% of his first year class. Not bad for a guy who wouldn’t have been admitted.</p>
<p>However, with all that said, Law schools value the LSAT enormously mainly because it is part of the rankings. You just have to accept it.</p>
<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I used to be a Princeton Review instructor (before I finished law school and then began my own law practice). The logic games section was the one section we were able to help vastly improve student’s marks. I’m not saying that you should enroll in a princeton review course or any other course for that matter but its worth looking into.I enrolled in one back when I had to write the LSAT and scored high enough to find later employment with them during law school. </p>
<p>As for the LSAT’s relevance to the practice of law, I’d say its damn near not relevant at all. I think its really just a weed out tool to decrease the otherwise massive field of applicants that would be applying to law school based on good gpa’s alone.</p>
