If you\u2019re considering going to law school, chances are you will need to take the LSAT.<\/span>
\nThe LSAT is valid for 5 years, so even if you are thinking about taking some time in between college and law school, you may want to take the LSAT now, taking advantage of being in study mode before all those habits you\u2019ve built over the past 15+ years slowly fade away after graduation.<\/span>
\nWe recommend most students spend 150-300 hours on LSAT prep spread over a two- to three-month period, studying about 20-25 hours per week. The LSAT is <\/span>offered several times a year<\/span><\/a>. When choosing a test date, you should work backward, thinking about the courses you are taking in school and other commitments (e.g., work, extracurriculars, etc.) leading up to your LSAT test date. Choose a test date that will comfortably allow you to prep a minimum of 20 hours a week in the three months leading up to it.\u00a0<\/span>
\nPrepping for the LSAT can be daunting, but we\u2019ve got what you need to get <\/span>that dream score<\/span><\/a>. Keep reading for upcoming LSAT classes and prep resources at UF.<\/span><\/p>\n
