Hi Everyone...

I know this question might be a bit odd compared to the others posted on this website, but does anyone know if HK has test centers for LSATs? It's the US version of an admissions test to get into law school.

Thanks in advance!

hi, I'm looking for LSAT courses myself, and have asked Princeton review, Kaplan and searched online for ages, but I have not found any so far. Princeton review has an online course though - if you're interested, check out: www.princetonreview.com.

I'm planning to buy books from amazon.com and study for LSAT myself. let me know if you hear of any actual courses, or can think of a better way to study for LSAT!

good luck!

Thanks Thunder,

I actually took the test a year ago but may consider taking the test again, with a few more practice =) I'm not sure where HK could offer the test facilities or even a night course. It doesn't seem like the LSATs are very popular here compared to the GREs.

Good luck!

I took a Kaplan course just out of undergraduate and then eight years later (when I actually went to law school) self-studied. To be honest, there wasn't much I learned in the Kaplan that I couldn't learn through self study.

I really think Kaplan's main benefit is with the 'just out of college' forcing them to study for the test.

For what it is worth, I took 35 full length practice tests prior to the LSAT (about one a night). My first score was 92%, and the night before the test I scored 72%. I ended up in the 98% on the actual test, so I guess it helped.

What scares you at first is the logic games, but after some study, you'll learn these are actually the easiest (as there is always a right answer) and with a little study, you'll learn to recognize why certain 'rules' or 'conditions' apply and hwo that affects the answers you have. In one set, I was able just by reading the conditions to know exactly what sort of questions would be asked (it took all of about 10 seconds to answer those 6 questions) because I was familiar with the 'pattern' from the prior tests.

Good luck.

Of course, I would advise you against being a lawyer, but that is another story....

Hehe, why would you advise against being a lawyer?

I'm surprised to hear there are no LSAT test centers. I took the GRE at the Chinese University when I was living there. I ended up going to business school. I didn't take the GMAT in HK but know lots of people did. I studied on my own using the Princeton Review books (not the class) and did really well on the GREs as well as the GMATs. Highly recommend those books.

I'm with Penguinsix. Self-study works fine with LSAT, make sure you think twice before going through the expense of law school. A lot of my classmates became lawyers just to pay off debt and when I graduated there were as many lawyers getting out as getting in. And, no, I am not a lawyer (I am still paying off the debt).
