If you’ve never listened to one of my Blog Talk Radio shows, you are in the minority: the free podcasts are almost as popular as the Law School Expert blog!
All you have to do is listen live tomorrow online by going to Ann Levine – Blog Talk Radio at noon PST/3 pm EST – and if you listen live, you can use the chat room to ask questions and I try to incorporate your questions into the show. The show is 30 minutes. If you can’t make it live, you’ll be able to listen to it anytime, and even download it from iTunes if you’d like at absolutely no charge. And you can leave questions as comments here and I’ll try to get you answers during the podcast.
P.S. December LSAT scores will be out any minute now so if you’re contemplating a February re-take don’t miss the LSAT Tips in this Podcast!

For all of you February LSAT takers, here’s the best 45 minutes you’ll spend this week – Listen to my Blog Talk Radio show with four elite LSAT Tutors talking about tips for test day. Listen to it online or download it through iTunes (BTR- Ann Levine)
Also, I’ve been hearing from a lot of people who are just deciding late in the game to apply for the Fall 2010 law school admission cycle and their practice LSAT scores definitely demonstrate that they aren’t ready. I do not advocate a last minute approach to LSAT prep or to the law school application process. To me, it usually means the person hasn’t really thought through the choice and applying to law school with an unknown (but predictably very poor) LSAT score is really throwing good money after bad. Here’s how to know if you’re really ready to take the LSAT.
For those of you who are ready, good luck this weekend!

I want to wish all February LSAT takers good luck on tomorrow’s exam. I hope you are ready, healthy, and well rested. At this point, stop studying and stop reading discussion forums. Relax, eat a nice dinner (nothing fancy-think of it as race day food for runners), and look at tomorrow’s test as a welcome challenge – an opportunity that will allow you to really show what you can do. Be positive. And prepare for the unexpected – put a Powerbar in your bag and sit far away from those noisy proctors. (In law school, I always sat in the front row during classes and back row during exams – each choice meant to keep me focused on what needed to be done).
6 TIPS FOR LSAT TEST DAY:
1. Go in with the attitude of proving what you can do.
2. Don’t think about your final score.
3. Look at each question as a challenge that you welcome.
4. Don’t worry about the guy next to you.
5. Don’t talk to anyone during breaks (especially people who talk about already having a 172 but trying for a 179).
6. Do what works for you – eat the snacks that work for you, entertain your own superstitions, and try not to get distracted by rude proctors or clicking pencils. After all, those factors will be present in law school and during the bar exam – get used to them now.
And, please, above all else – if you know you have not adequately prepared and that tomorrow’s result isn’t going to get you where you need to be, consider waiting for Fall 2010 and taking the test under better conditions in June. If you’re considering not taking this test and waiting to apply for Fall 2010 admission, then check out my interview with Steve Schwartz on his LSAT Blog on the February LSAT’s limited use in the rolling admission cycle.
Good luck!
