Here’s some advice other people told me that I’ve found to be true as the cycle went on: Studying for the LSAT always pays off. Invest time into it daily, no matter what, and it will never be wasted. If you consider the fact that a higher LSAT score invariably results in higher scholarship offers, you’re basically…
