When should I start studying for the LSAT?
Hi all. I thought I got a good score for a timed diagnostic with 0 preparation… but apparently it’s not great based on comments and posts in this thread. That being said, I am 2-3 years out from my taking the LSAT so I have ample time to prepare and I am certain that Law is what I wish to pursue (criminal justice in particular). I am a 4.0 student so far but that can obviously change, and my high school GPA was a 3.8 but I’m 23 now so it’s kind of irrelevant I’m assuming. I have incredible work experience (EMT + ER Tech and then Business Development/Sales). I am hoping to step into an administrative law position at a local firm but my city is relatively small so positions are infrequent.
That’s a little bit about my background. I want to score as high as possible because just like many others my dreams rely on aid and/or scholarships. I am hoping to score in the 170’s. When should I start studying and is it really that impossible to improve a low diagnostic?
Diagnostic: 2hr 20 minutes. Prep test 158. Scaled score: 153. Raw score: 48.
TLDR; 2-3 years from LSAT. 153 diag. When do I start studying for a 170 score range?
