Hi all!

I am taking the LSAT in September this year, and I’m feeling fairly ready.

But I haven’t touched preparation for the writing section at all (!). Does anyone have any guidelines for what it should be like? I finished my undergraduate degree last year so I’ve lost the habit somewhat of academic writing.

Are there any suggestions for how to approach the writing component – timing, length, style, etc? I’ve searched on google to find samples of what a high-quality LSAT essay would be, but haven’t really found much.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Lara

Hi Lara —

Here’s a link to a great post about the writing section —

My suggestion, if you are nervous at all about it, is to practice once or twice before test day, and you should be all good to go — you definitely don’t want to waste too much time and energy thinking about/preparing for it —

Hope that helps and if you have any follow-up just let me know —

Mike
