When Should I Start Studying For LSAT?

I am about to be a Sophomore at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and I want to go to UCLA law, my GPA is a little low (3.16) but I know what I need to do to improve it and I am aiming for about a 3.8 I bought the kaplan lsat prep booklet to get a head start but the reasoning section is so hard that I’d rather pay to take the LSAT prep class, but is this a little too early to have most of my energies focused on passing this test?

You’d be starting way too early in my opinion. While it may be helpful to look over a few questions here and there, if you launch yourself into studying 2 years in advance, you will without a doubt burn yourself out. It helps to have everything somewhat fresh when you take the test, because there are a lot of rules.

I’d recommend taking your books and looking over them now and then. Don’t kill yourself. Then, decide when to take your test. Probably you’ll take it the spring of junior year or summer before senior year. That’s when you should take a class (I’d recommend Testmasters since it helped me score 12 points higher). Take the class very seriously and study a few hours a day on your own time. As the test gets closer, start bumping up your study hours per day. The 3 weeks before the test, I was studying 6-8 hours/day. This way, everything will be fresh in your mind and you won’t be trying to remember some rule you went over 2 years prior.

Your focus now should be getting your grades up. Study hard, because GPA is very important. Good luck!

It isn’t too early at all but you need to focus on your grades and your extracurriculars as well. My roommate took the LSAT last year and is starting law school this fall. She studied for a year before her test but said she wished she would have studied longer. She ended up taking the test twice due to not being happy with her first score. I would say as soon as you can start preparing for it, it can’t hurt it can only help. Keep in mind you must balance your time though and excel in all aspects of your academics.

Yes. I started studying for it in September for the December test, and I did fine on my first try. Working on problems now might help familiarize you with the test, but frankly you’re only a sophomore and you shouldn’t even be thinking about applying to law schools until the summer before your senior year. Use the time to get your GPA up.
