December LSAT Results

December 28, 2008

The December LSAT results are almost in.  January 5, 2009 is the official date for results given by LSAC. 

Having poured over the data from published sources, the scores of emails I received and the happenings on various LSAT discussion boards – it seems the test very much fit the mold of the last few years.  The logic games and reading comprehension were widely considered to be the most difficult parts of the December LSAT – while the silly writing sample and logical reasoning were considered the easiest.

This law school admissions cycle is shaping up to be fairly competitive as the economy continues to sour.  More and more graduating seniors are looking to ride out the bad economy in law school.  Typically, December LSAT takers are already on  their second trip around or procrastinating around taking the test in summer or in October.  If you fit into this category, you still may need last minute admissions help – alternatively, you can join the law school admissions insider newsletter that is published bi-weekly with tips and tricks for law school admissions.  If you’re score is less than what you hoped for (or less than what your top choice schools typically accept) – you’re going to need to write a killer application if you’re going to gain admission in this climate.
