 I am excited to announce that LSAT Ally is offering students the opportunity to attend the following LSAT information sessions via Zoom:

 

How to Prep for the LSAT

Monday, August 2nd | 8:00 - 9:00 pm EST

With the upcoming change to the format of the LSAT in August, it is more important than ever to be informed about what the test entails and how to effectively prepare for it. In the How to Prep for the LSAT information session, students will learn about the change in format as well as best practices for studying for the new format.

 

Sample LG LSAT Class

In the Sample LG LSAT Class, students will learn the best strategies for evaluating Logic Games, the best setup for Strict Sequencing games, how to understand Levels of Truth, and the best approach for three question types within the Logic Games section. Interested students can receive a sample post-class email with notes on the strategies covered in class and a copy of the class session's whiteboard that contains strategies and worked LSAT questions.

In the Sample LR LSAT Class, students will learn the best approach for evaluating questions within the Logical Reasoning section, how to identify the different parts of an argument on the LSAT, and the specific strategies for evaluating two question types within the Logical Reasoning section. Interested students can receive a sample post-class email with notes on the strategies covered in class and a copy of the class session's whiteboard that contains strategies and worked LSAT questions.

 

Applying to Law School

Thursday, August 5th | 8:00 - 9:00 pm EST

Many students have questions about how to decide which law schools to apply to, the different components of law school applications, the application process, and how law schools evaluate applicants. Those questions will be answered in the Applying to Law School information session where the entire law school application process, from selecting which schools to apply to all the way to accepting an offer, will be broken down step by step.
