This past month, SimuGator was featured on Ann Levine’s Blog Talk Radio show about LSAT Prep Options.

As you may know, Ann Levine is the former Director for two ABA law schools and is an experienced law school admissions consultant. She offers admission services at her website, LawSchoolExpert.com. Ann Levine is also the author of the highly informative book, The Law School Admission Game: Play Like An Expert, which we believe is a critical road map to the law school admissions process.

  • Three easy steps to tell whether you should postpone your LSAT, and the benefits and consequences of not postponing.

LSAC: Simulate Test Day Conditions on LSAT Prep Tests

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

LSAC Recommends Simulating Test Day Conditions on Practice Tests
According to the LSAC Sample Questions With Explanations, LSAC recommends:

“At a minimum, you should review the descriptions of the question types (below) and simulate the day of the test by taking, under actual time constraints, a practice test that includes a writing sample. Taking a practice test under timed conditions helps you to estimate the amount of time you can afford to spend on each question in a section and to determine the question types for which you may need additional practice.”

Use the SimuGator LSAT Proctor DVD to Easily Simulate Test Day on Every Practice LSAT
SimuGator LSAT Proctor DVD is a complete video simulation of the LSAT shot from the perspective of a test taker. Its purpose is to enable students to easily time themselves on practice LSAT PrepTests while building immunity to the distractions that they will face on test day.

This ability to take LSAT PrepTests under actual conditions results in greater concentration, decreased anxiety, and an overall stronger performance on the real LSAT.

Specifically, the SimuGator LSAT Proctor DVD allows you to:

  • Accurately and easily time your LSAT PrepTests through your own personal LSAT proctor who tells you when to start, when there are five minutes remaining, and when to stop each section.
  • Decrease LSAT test anxiety by practicing under actual conditions because you will know exactly what to expect on test day
  • Increase concentration by turning on Distractions Mode which reproduces distractions that you will face on test day.
  • Stay focused, disciplined, and motivated because the sections move along just like the real LSAT, which eliminates any temptation to take breaks between sections.
  • Become comfortable with pacing yourself using your analog wrist-watch.

The LSAT Writing Sample Matters: Advice from a Law School Admissions Insider

Article by Todd Tolin, Seton Hall University School of Law

You’ve spent ages studying, you’ve been in the exam for hours, and finally you’ve reached the very last section before you can escape to freedom.  So why not just blow off the essay section entirely?  It’s not tabulated into the score, so it doesn’t really matter if you do a great job, right?

Wrong!  As a student representative who has read countless files for my law school’s admissions committee over the past two years, let me assure you that this essay can and does matter.  Perhaps there are some law schools that don’t weigh the essay much, or may not even read it, but do you want to take that chance?   Further, the LSAT essay is always a part of your admissions file.

After months of studying for the LSAT, it is common for students to spot LSAT issues everywhere. In fact, seeing life through the lens of the LSAT is a great way to reinforce what you have learned and a helpful way to study on-the-go.

Overcome LSAT Test Anxiety by Taking Practice LSATs Under Actual Conditions

“One important key to success is self-confidence.
An important key to self-confidence is preparation.”
-Arthur Ashe

It is a well-known fact that the best way to study for the LSAT is to practice using official LSAC prep tests. It is also well-known that many students experience a decline in their actual LSAT score. For these students, the drop in their score can often be attributed to test day anxiety that they did not account for when they were taking their prep tests.
