UIS Pre-Law Center offers LSAT prep program

December 19, 2005

SPRINGFIELD – The Pre-Law Center at the University of Illinois at Springfield is offering a primer for anyone interested in taking the LSAT exam and applying to law school. The four-day program will be held Tuesday, January 10, through Friday, January 13, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Public Affairs Center conference room F on the UIS campus. Co-sponsored by UIS’ Institute for Legal and Policy Studies, the program is open to students in all majors, as well as to the general public.  Cost is $190; pre-registration is required before Wednesday, January 4.

The course will include a basic overview of the law school application process, including how to apply for financial aid. Participants will also learn how to create a timeline to help them move through the application process; take two actual LSAT exams administered under simulated conditions; take part in instructional sessions on each section of the exam, including reading comprehension, analytical reasoning, logic games, and the writing assignment; learn test-taking strategies and hints for better performance; and attend a personal statement seminar and receive an individual critique of their work.
