<p>Which year of undergrad do students usually take the LSAT or when would you suggest taking it?</p>
<p>If you're going straight to law school afterwards take it in June or September/October following your junior year.</p>
<p>brand 182 has it correct. If you take it during the late september/early october lsat date, you then will have time to apply ea/ed to any of the schools you choose, granted they offer ea/ed. If not, you still can apply normal cycle as well. If you take it during the december lsat date during the beginning of your senior year, you will be pretty late in the application cycle, and that can make admissions tougher to your target schools. if you choose to work for a year or two after undergrad, make sure you study hard and take the lsat at a time that allows you to apply with plenty of time early in the application cycle. i am currently taking the lsat sept 29th and am applying this fall. Ive been done with undergrad for a year and by the time i start law school i will have been out approx 2 years. i elected to get my teaching credential over this time, in case i dont like working in the legal field after i graduate law school. best of luck.</p>
<p>If you are planning to do a Study Abroad Program or Semester Internship away from your "home" campus, you may need to re-think what time schedule works best for you.
My d did her Study Abroad semester the spring of her Junior year. She decided that she wanted to be DONE with her LSAT's before she left the USA. So she decided to take the LSAT in December of her Junior year- In no way did she want to bother studying or thinking about the LSAT while she was enjoying her experience in Italy. She could have waited until she returned, but she really did want to take the LSAT before her Senior year as you really have no good indicator of what schools to apply to until you have an LSAT score.
It now looks like she may wait a year until she actually goes through the Law School Admission process, but at least she got her LSAT's out of the way.</p>
