1. Write it?
You mean...take it?

I have. It really wasn't hard. Take some practice exams and see how you score...then study accordingly.

2. It's not too bad.
But do spend a significant amount of your time on the logic games. I practiced and practiced examples from a couple of books, so I thought I was fine, but the ones I got on the test were way more complex than anything I had seen. Bombed that section, otherwise I would've been really happy with my score. But, I eeked into my top choice, so it was of no consequence anyway.

The reading comprehension is simple, and the logical reasoning sections just take practice.

There's also a writing sample (not graded, but available to the school should they feel the need to see it), but there's really no way to prepare for that. You either suck at writing or you don't. It's an assessment of your logical reasoning and analytical abilities (they give you a hypothetical fact pattern), but it helps if you can write well, too.

Oh, and bring a watch. I managed to miss a couple questions by not wearing one because I figured there would be a clock in a university classroom. Sure there was, but it was in the back of the classroom, and turning around was not allowed. That sucked.

The LSAT isn't that difficult. Practice some logic question games that you can buy in the grocery store and you're set.

By the time the essay came around, my hand hurt a lot, though.
