<p>I am currently a grad student at a PA state school. Decent ugpa (well - 3.1). I am taking the LSAT October 1 and very excitied to see how i do. My undergraduate degree was Liberal Studies, Political Science minor. Graduate work is in Education. I took the graduate work due to an offered Assistantship which in turn gave me time to mature.</p>
<p>I have visited nearly all 188 law school websites. I would like to study sports law and still remain interested in other areas such as international law and contstitutional law.</p>
<p>So a couple questions: 1. What is the worst score I could possibly get on the LSAT and still get into law school?</p>
<li><p>Upon getting into law school and graduating, do most lawyers find both personal and financial satisfaction in this practice?</p></li>
<li><p>Best study habits to prepare for the LSAT?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Worst score depends on your GPA. Since yours is a 3.1 you should shoot for a 153-155 to get into a great many law schools. I am sure there are some LS that accept anyone with the money to attend(Cooley?) but this would pretty much defeat the point of getting a law degree.</p>
<p>best study habits for the LSAT: work consistently. start at least 3 months before, ideally, but if you haven't started yet it's not too late. get a book of real practice tests, and take one (under real test conditions--in a quiet room, with a pencil and a timer) as a diagnostic. Are there any sections in which you're particularly weak? Make sure to focus on them in particular, while still taking lots of practice tests for all sections. My hardest part was logic games, and I found the Logic Games Bible really helpful. Overall, I didn't take a course, and I only studied intensely for about 2 weeks. My score went up 4 points from the diagnostic test I took. While I am pleased with my score and it's good enough to get me into many schools I'd like to attend, I wish I'd started studying a month earlier. I'm sure I could have gotten an extra point or two--and a single point can make a significant difference in your chances for admission. </p>
<p>You might want to look at <a href="http://www.chiashu.com%5B/url%5D">www.chiashu.com</a> for more information about your likelihood of getting into various schools--just plug in different LSAT scores and test it out. Just keep in mind that the data is a couple years old, so it might be overly optimistic.</p>
