The determination of an appropriate commencement date for Law School Admission Test preparation is a critical decision point for prospective law students. Beginning test preparation too early may result in burnout or the inefficient retention of learned material. Delaying commencement, conversely, may not provide sufficient time to master the content and strategies necessary for optimal performance.
The timing of preparation profoundly impacts a candidate’s potential score and subsequent law school application outcomes. Adequate preparation time enables a thorough review of foundational skills, allows for multiple practice tests under simulated conditions, and facilitates the identification and remediation of individual weaknesses. Historically, a longer, more deliberate preparation period has been associated with improved performance on standardized admissions tests.
