Good post today here on how (and whether) LSAC’s new cancel policy.
P.S. The only real sigificance of this policy is that not showing up for the test counts as a “cancel” so it counts as one of the 3 times you can take the LSAT in two years. If this is your first LSAT attempt, you shouldn’t be concerned…. Listen in to my Blog Talk Radio Show on Monday. Part of what we’ll be discussing is how to know if you’re ready for the test.

We’re about 2 weeks away from the June 8, 2009 LSAT. You should be scoring pretty consistently on practice tests, and you may be wondering whether to go ahead and take the LSAT or wait until September 2009. The following is a brief excerpt from my book, “The Law School Admission Game: Play Like an Expert“ addressing this issue:
How do you know if you’re really ready for the LSAT? If you don’t feel ready to take the LSAT, your instinct is probably right. You have a few options. You could take the test and if your score is halfway decent, you can apply. This is a poor strategy that usually goes worse than you expected and becomes something you have to later explain on your applications. Plus, it’s a huge ego-deflater to see a low score. Make sure to take many timed practice tests with five sections. It’s an endurance test and a speed test, so you must practice under these conditions. Practice in distracting conditions, not in ideal ones. It is better to take a test in a noisy coffee shop than in the silence and ideal environment of a library carrel of the 7th floor of your campus library.
The book is coming out tomorrow (!!!) and will be shipped on Tuesday. It can be ordered through “The Law School Admission Game” site for FREE SHIPPING or through Amazon.
For concrete tips and strategies for the week before the LSAT, listen in to my 45-minute BlogTalkRadio show on Monday, June 1st at 1 p.m. EST (10 a.m. PST) called “Last Minute Tips for LSAT Takers.” It will feature three LSAT tutors: Donald Viscardi, Master Tutor at Inspirica, Josh Morrison, owner of LogicPro LSAT Tutoring, and Bara Sapir, director of Test Prep NY. We’ll be talking about tips for the week before the test and deciding whether you’re really ready to take the exam. There will be time for questions from callers. If you can’t listen in at that time, you’ll be able to listen to the program anytime after by visiting this blog or by going to my page on BlogTalkRadio. I’m really excited about this show – we’re pulling together 3 of the premier LSAT strategists from outside the “big” prep companies and giving readers of the Law School Expert blog a unique opportunity to hear insights from real LSAT experts.

Thanks so much to Wei Wang for asking me such great, thought-provoking and relevant questions today on BlogTalkRadio. (CLICK TO LISTEN to our 15 minute segment)
For those who missed the interview about my law school admission guidebook, Wei asked me questions about:
1. Prepping for the LSAT as a full time occupation versus studying while working full time.
2. Pursuing a joint degree, such as a JD/MBA.
3. What to do if you’re taking a year off from school and you can’t find a professional job.
4. Choosing what to write about in your law school personal statement.
Please check out our upcoming BlogTalkRadio segments and feel free to ask questions and to invite your friends to listen in.

I have three BlogTalkRadio Shows scheduled that should interest readers of the LawSchoolExpert blog:
First, tune in MONDAY at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST for 30-minute interview and Q&A about my law school admission guidebook. The interview is being conducted by the first prospective law school applicant to read the book and promises to touch upon crucial issues relating to law school personal statements, career prospects and more. We will take questions from callers, too!
Upcoming Shows:
On Monday, June 1st at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST I’ll be talking with a panel of LSAT tutors about
“Last Minute Tips for LSAT Takers” in preparation for the June 8, 2009 LSAT administration. (45 minutes)
On Monday June 8th at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST I’ll be interviewing Kevin E. Houchin, Esq., author of “Fuel the Spark: 5 Guiding Values for Success in Law School & Beyond.” For those of you not taking the LSAT on June 8th, but instead preparing to start law school, hearing from Kevin should help you enter your 1L year with your core values in perspective.
If you’re able to listen live, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions. If you can’t, you’ll be able to hear the interview afterward. Please pass this information along to anyone whom you think might be interested!

Thanks to Wei Wang, the first prospective law school applicant to read my book (“The Law School Admission Game: Play Like an Expert”) for interviewing me this morning on a quick 15-minute BlogTalkRadio show about the book. We discussed the chapter in the book about the LSAT and GPA being “Main Ingredients” in the application process and how law schools evaluate LSAT scores and UGPAs that are “mismatched.” We also discussed the reason for the anticipated increase in applications in the Fall 2010 admission cycle.
We’ll be doing a more in-depth version on Monday at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST. Please tune in. I welcome your questions. In the meantime, take 15 minutes to listen to today’s broadcast. I look forward to your feedback on this – our first BlogTalkRadio program.
Meanwhile, my family has been subjected to a mandatory evacuation order due to the Jesusita fires. We are safe and hiding away in Palm Springs. I appreciate your thoughts for all who are being impacted by these scary and unweildy fires in the Santa Barbara area.
