<p>From reading most of the threads around here, it seems i should take the LSAT the summer after my junior year or the fall of my senior year. I'm not interested in immediately going to law school after undergrad though. I want to work for a few years, and then see if law school will be a better fit for me.</p>
<p>Are there any disadvantages in taking the LSAT after finishing undergrad? Should I take it during the recommended period anyway?</p>
<p>I'm going to be a junior next fall, concentrating on English/Philosophy btw.</p>
<p>The primary disadvantage to taking the LSAT after graduation is that it is much more difficult to prepare for the test while working full time than when you are still a full-time student. When I was in college, though the workload was substantial, I was always able to squeeze in a significant amount of time each week to study for the LSAT. I’ve been working as an LSAT tutor and class instructor for a little over a year now, and the number one problem I see with students is not lack of will or dedication, but simple lack of time. Working full-time is very draining, and forcing yourself to study even just one or two hours on any given day can be difficult.</p>
<p>Your LSAT score is good for 5 years. I suggest you take the test during undergrad when you can better prepare, work a few years after graduation, and then figure out whether or not you want to apply.</p>
<p>when do you think is the best time to take the lsat in your undergrad career then? What about taking a semester off after graduation to study for the lsat?</p>
<p>assuming you will work at a full-time job straight after undergrad, best time to take it might be summer undergrad if you have no classes/work during the summer</p>
