Kaplan's Practice LSAT

Kaplan offers several practice LSAT tests each year. They are offered on campus in a classrooms just like the real LSAT. It is a full length test and timed just like the real LSAT including timed breaks. However, at the end, the proctors go over a couple of test taking strategies. They also explain what other services they have to offer and give discounts to people wanting to sign up for specific events. Answers and an analysis of how test takers performed is available a few weeks after the test date. All students who are planning to take the LSAT should take advantage of this service. You can register through their website for a location near you.

There is one being offered February 26 on Ohio State's Campus.

Last February, I took a practice LSAT test through Kaplan. It was a great experience. I had not previously been exposed to the LSAT and found the atmosphere to be a lot like taking the SAT or ACT with fewer people in the room. We were in a room that could seat over 100 people, but there were only about 20 of us there. I learned a lot from just taking the test and even more when they went over some strategies. Getting my results before I began preparing for the test was a great way to gauge how well I was preparing and to see what improvements I was making. I recommend that students take a practice test before they start preparing so they can see how far they've come.

The advantages of taking a practice LSAT include:
  • Getting to know the format of the test.

  • Getting a feel for long the test takes.

  • Knowing what kinds of questions are in each section.

  • Learning basic strategies for each section of the test.

  • Learning where to find additional test preparation tools are

  • Finding out where you are starting from so you can see where you are going.

Hey Danielle,
Here are some comments:

How can you reword this sentence so you don't end with "in"? Ditto with the next one but you are also missing a word:

I think it is a great service that all students planning to the LSAT should take advantage of.

There are two things in these sentences to consider. One is the run-on sentence and the other is the practice of capitalizing the first word of a complete sentence in the parentheses.

I had not previously been exposed to the LSAT and I found the atmosphere to be a lot like taking the SAT or ACT with fewer people in the room (we were in a room that could seat over 100 people and there were only about 20 of us there.)

Instead of Learning where additional test preparation tools are., how about "Learning where to find additional test preparation tools."?
