我们学校考LSAT的多吗？、    

不多，中国只有北大、香港两个考点，北大考场人很少，还有缺考的，还很多外国人

有无意义看个人追求
律师好不好当也要看人
The decision to become a lawyer is a highly personal one, based on a number of factors that you must weigh for yourself. It's not a step to be taken lightly.

LSAT阅读理解共4篇文章，35分钟，每篇文章为400~600个单词，有6-8个问题，4篇文章共28个问题。

Taking the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is fun. Really fun. That''s F-U-N fun! So fun, in fact, that you may want to skip that date with the hottie next door and take some practice LSATs instead. Seriously, it''s better than Cats. You''ll want to take it again… and again… and again…
OK, we did our best to convince you otherwise, but the truth is that the LSAT is a royal pain. An evil combination of #2 pencils, ugly proctors, and silent stopwatches, to get into any accredited law school in the country, you are required to take the LSAT

But there is good news: even though you have to take this standardized test, there are many methods to cracking the test and getting a much better score than you deserve. After all, a secret to those standardized tests is that the writers always write the same types of questions. So if you can just study the question types (and practice them a lot), you''re virtually guaranteed to get a higher score and getting a respected law degree (or at least one that won''t appear on Sally Struthers commercial alongside TV/VCR repair).

By the way, since you''re obviously interested in going to law school (people do not take the LSAT for kicks), you may as well read our excellent SYW titled "SYW get into law school?" With these two SYWs, you''ll be fully on your way to out-legalizing Ally McBeal. (While you''re at it, please buy her some food.)


First thing''s first: the LSAT is a test. Need more details? The LSAT is a tricky test that will make your brain hurt. The test basically poses many puzzles to you that you have to solve. The more puzzles that you solve correctly, the better legal mind you supposedly have and the higher score you''ll receive.

Rules

test lasts about 3 ½ hours on a Saturday morning (there are alternate dates available if you can''t attend for religious reasons).

The test consists of about 101 question.
There is NO PENALTY FOR GUESSING. This means that you absolutely must answer every single question, even if it''s a complete guess. Don''t argue with us over this one.

After your test is graded, your score will be converted into an LSAT score ranging from a low of 120 to a high of 180. Your score (and percentile) will roughly follow along a bell curve pattern: a 150 is completely average, and a 170 is the 99th percentile." m

Here''s what kinds of questions will be on the test:
Section Type Number of Sections Number of Questions Time Per Section
Analytical Reasoning (Games) 1 24 35 minutes
Logical Reasoning (Arguments) 2 24-26 35 minutes
Reading Comprehension 1 26-28 35 minutes
Writing Sample 1 1 essay 30 minutes 5
Experimental (another Arguments, Games, or Reading Comprehension) 1 Depends which type it is 35 minutes .

As you can see, there are three main types of questions on the LSAT: Analytical reasoning questions (which involve solving logic puzzles);logical reasoning questions (which involve finding the weak point of an argument); and reading comprehension questions (which involve reading boring passages and answering questions about them).

There will be one experimental section, which will be either a games, arguments, or reading section. You won''t know which is the real section and which is the experimental one, so you should just try your best on every single section. The good news is that if at some point you have a bizarrely difficult section that makes no sense, there''s a strong chance that it was the experimental section.

There is also a writing sample section. But before you begin to cry, realize that the writing sample does NOT count towards your score. The law schools to which you apply will receive a copy of your essay, so don''t think writing your name and favorite ice cream flavor 100 times will suffice. However, this section has no right or wrong answers, and might not even be read.

Rules
The LSAT has a bunch of rules you have to follow. We''re not going to bore you with them here, so when you do your practice tests, read all of the rules carefully. But because we don''t want you to forget, here are the most important rules:

Choose the best answer for each problem. A question will often seem to have more than one possible answer (or no possible answer). Ignore those feelings: every question does have an answer, and one of them will be the best answer. If you encounter a question with two seemingly correct answers, read over the question again and decide which directly answers the question better (without you having to make strange logic leaps)."
You can not jump around between sections. So if you''re doing the reading comprehension section and finish early, you can''t fill in those last bubbles for the analytical reasoning section.'

Do not even attempt to cheat. Not only will you get in major trouble (that is, you can''t take the LSAT again, meaning that you can''t get into law school), but chances are that your neighbor is taking a different test (actually, the same test, but with the sections in a different order).

If after the test you feel like you did atrociously poorly and you don''t any schools to see your score, you then have up to 5 business days to cancel your score (by faxing a signed letter). No one will ever know you took the test, and you won''t know your score. So use this option with caution: only do it if you are absolutely POSITIVE you tanked and you have enough time to take the test again
Speaking of taking the test again, it is allowed. However, keep in mind that most schools will not take the higher of your two scores; they''ll take the average of your scores. Furthermore, a good portion of people actually get lower scores their second time around. The LSAT isn''t like the SAT; people don''t usually take it more than once. So only take the test again if you are positive that your score doesn''t reflect your true ability and you know that you can do better.

it would really stink to show up at the test center and then not be able to take the LSAT. No, law schools wouldn''t accept that excuse, crafty one! To make your life easier, the LSAC allows you to register online Have your credit card handy, because it''s gonna cost you $90.

If you miss the deadline, you can also register up to the day before the test, as long as you pay the $54 late fee and you find a center that has room.
The first rule says that Brendan''s seat is in the last row, so let''s put him there.

The second rule says that Charles is next to Deiter AND an unassigned seat. So write it down. That means that there always must be a row only containing Charles and Deiter, and Charles must be in the middle. And because Brendan is in the last row, Charles and Deiter must either be in row 1 or 2. So at this point, your sketch may look like this:

The third rule says that Deiter is the row behind Anton. That means that Deiter can''t be in row 1. Since we earlier established that Deiter can''t be in row 3, then Deiter and Charles must be in row two, with Charles in the middle. This means that Anton must be in row 1. So now your sketch might look like this
The fourth rule states that neither Echelle nor Geoff is sitting immediately besides Anton. Not that this doesn''t mean that neither can go in row 1; it just means that they can''t sit next to each other.
you''re all ready to start answering the questions! So imagine getting this question: Which of the following passengers can be assigned to seats 2 and 8, respectively?& s: Y6 T0 @! e* g! w" }
A) Anton, Echelle
B) Brendan, Geoff
C) Charles, Brendan
D) Deiter, Echelle
E) Geoff, Fanny

So look at your picture and figure it out! You know that B is out, because Brendan must be in the last row, so he can''t sit in seat 2. You also see that Charles must be in seat 5, and Deiter must be in seat 4 or or seat 6, so you can cross out C and D. You finally realize that Geoff can''t be in seat 2, because that would force him to sit next to Anton (thus breaking the fourth rule), so E is out. So the only choice is A! See how quick that was? And all because you drew the picture in advance.
There are other types of rules that you should write down:


Convert two negatives to a positive. If it is not true that Frank can not come to school, then Frank can come to school.



Most people can eventually figure out all the answers; the tough part is answering all the questions within the time limit. We hate to say it, but PRACTICE is the best way to speed up your performance time. These questions will all begin to look very familiar.

If you look through the different games really quickly at the beginning of the section, you might want to choose to do the easiest ones first (to guarantee that you get to them). Imagine wasting all that time on the first puzzle when you could''ve breezed through the rest.
When in doubt, eliminate and guess. You''ll always be able to eliminate at least one "duh!" choice, so cross it out and just guess from the remaining ones.

You want to be a lawyer, right? So you should love arguments! And the logical reasoning section is nothing except handling arguments.

While there''s only one reading comprehension and one games section that will count toward your final score, TWO logical reasoning sections will count, so you should spend twice as much time practicing these questions

The main tip we can give you is to remember, above everything else, that you must ONLY consider what is said in the argument you are given. Yes, you may be asked to prove a blatantly false argument, but welcome to LSAT Land. The test-writers don''t care about whether you agree or disagree; they only want to see if you''re able to see where the weaknesses in the arguments lay. So read every question VERY carefully.

The secret to acing the logical reasoning section is to realize that almost every question is trying to find out how well you can find "assumption gaps."

Take deep breaths - often. After all, it''s only your career.
