One Khan Academy feature I wanted to highlight: the website offers an LSAT diagnostic test (with two options, either a timed, full-length test or several shorter sections). That’s hard to come by if you don’t sign up for a test prep course (or don’t have a patient friend like Randy to work with you). I learn best by talking through problems and listening to others explain the way they approached a problem. I took an hour to go through some of the videos recently, and I gotta say, I sure wish it was around back in 2005. The Khan Academy site has lessons, articles, and videos that explain all sorts of tips and techniques for conquering the LSAT. I had occasion to reflect on those Saturday mornings when Khan Academy launched its free LSAT test prep site. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have dragged myself out of bed to take an LSAT without you. Thanks, Randy, for forcing both of us to do that test prep. It was exhausting – but good practice for the real thing. We sat down at a corner table in the back, and forced ourselves to take a full, timed LSAT (yes, including the writing section). In the four weeks before the LSAT, my friend Randy and I met up in the campus dining hall at 8:30 AM every Saturday.


I spent the summer working through practice questions, eventually timing myself on full sections. Let me take you back to October 2005, when I took the LSAT. Now that LSAC has moved its fall examination to early September, August is a key month for you to prepare for the LSAT. Summer is a time for beaches, flip flops, and for many prospective law school applicants, preparing for the LSAT.
