Reply #7: It's all in learning the test techniques and speed... [View All]

If you had sufficient time in the test, you could answer every question correctly....it is the time crunch which gets you.

I took both, and eventually decided to go to law school. When I took the LSAT some 5 years ago, they had three sections: reading comp., problem solving, and some type of section on analogies, word usage, etc... The LSAT tested 4 sections, meaning that they tested all three of those sections and doubled on the sections. So if you are strong in one area, like reading comp. and weak in another, like problem solving, you could get lucky and get two reading comp. sections or you could get unlucky and get two problem solving sections. That is what affects your score the most.

There isn't much to worry about, they aren't very difficult. If you are a self starter, then purchase one of the review books and work a lot of the problems. Be sure to time yourself get aquainted to the time restraints and the pace of the test. If you have done well in past standarized tests, then the LSAT and GRE are no different.

Good luck
