Why do I need an LSAT class at all?
The LSAT measures how you reason, not what you know. It is not anacademic test and it has very little in common with the SAT. An undergraduate GPA measures what you know and is not particularly reliable in assessing how you will do in law school. Your LSAT score on the other hand bears a much closer association to your first year (1L) performance.

What kind of results have you had?  topˆ
Median LSAT Score: 156
Percent scoring at or above the national median (151): 89%
Percent of students scoring nationally in the top 25% quartile: 40%
Percent of student scoring nationally in the lowest 25% quartile: 0%

What is the cost?  topˆ
You would expect to pay much more for this personalized learning, but you will not. In fact, the program cost is just $1,850.

What kind of advice do you offer?  topˆ
We provide general law school admissions advice. If you need more, we will refer you to your personal law school admissions advisor for a free one-hour consultation.

This pre-law “Focus” professional will advise you about the intricacies of the law school admissions process. You will learn what law schools expect from your personal statements, letters of recommendation, financial aid, etc. In short, you will develop a focused, targeted and powerful law school admission packet.

When is the LSAT given?  topˆ
Four times per year during the months of February, June, October, and December.

How is my LSAT score calculated?  topˆ
The raw score you receive (the number of credited responses you receive) is subjected to a multiplier which may change from test to test depending on how difficult the test turned out to be. As a result, if you had gotten 68 correct answers on the December 2004 test you would have received a 157, by contrast, a 68 on the June 2005 exam resulted in a 154.

How many hours per day should I study?  topˆ
You should prepare for the LSAT the way we prepare for trial. Remember, approximately 150,000 tests are administered in any given year and there are only 42,000 available seats. You are not playing for a tie and law is a contact sport. Your objective is to create the grounded psychological edge that you have out-prepared everyone else in that room on test day.

I heard that the February exam is the hardest, is that true?  topˆ
No. Each of the four administrations is designed to produce the same result. Should one exam produce lower raw scores overall, it's multiplier will be increased in order to raise the scaled (reported) score.

I am in my Junior year, when is the best time to take the LSAT?  topˆ
If you plan on going directly on to law school, the LSAT should be taken no later than December of your senior year. June of your Junior year is optimum (if you can balance school work and finals); October of your Senior year is perfectly fine if June is just too much. Above all, do not take the LSAT until you are fully prepared. Better to take it later in the process and do well, then earlier in the process and mess  up.

How many times may I take the test?  topˆ
The LSAC (Law School Admission Council) permits applicants to take the test three times over a two year period.

Are the reported test scores really averaged?  topˆ
No, but all scores are reported to the law schools.  This is a change from the time when the scores were averaged and a prior reported score of 150 would require you to score a  164 on your second attempt to average the 158.  But, the law schools still do see the prior reported score and the number of times you can take the LSAT is limited by the LSAC.

May I cancel my score?  topˆ
Yes. You have nine days from the administration of the exam to notify the LSAC that you wish to cancel your score. You will not however know what your score is. The score are reported by the LSAC approximately two weeks after the nine day cancellation period.

If I have already registered for a test but feel unprepared, may I re-schedule my test date?  topˆ
Yes, Simply contact the LSAC at www.lsac.org at any time prior to the test date and advise them of your decision. There is a $30 fee.

What is the latest date that I can take the exam?  topˆ
It depends on the law school. If you plan to begin law school in August 2006 for instance, most law schools will likely accept "late" applications from the February 2006 exam, and some may, on occasion, accept applicants from the June 2006 exam for that same year.

Why should I take Focus over Kaplan or Princeton?  topˆ
• Because you want a faculty of attorney's teaching you, particularly    attorney's with extensive experience teaching the LSAT
• Because you want a class that involves over 60 hours of in-class learning
• Because you want to condition yourself to maintain concentration for a    four hour exam by attending five hour sessions
• Because you want class size limited
• Because you want to prepare using only the most recently released
   LSAT's
• Because you intend to out-prepare everyone else

May I sit in on a Focus Approach class?  topˆ
Absolutely. Just fill out the contact information on our website and will be invited to sit through a full five hour session. There is no obligation on your part.  If a company is reluctant or unwilling to let you sit in on an actual class there's probably a reason why.
