Through CSUMB Pre-Law, students are supported throughout the law school admissions process. From understanding application timelines and preparing for the LSAT to crafting personal statements and securing letters of recommendation, this page offers guidance and resources to help you prepare with confidence.

Preparing for the LSAT

Preparing for the LSAT is an important element of the application process. Whether doing so on your own, through the official LSAC partnership with Khan Academy, or through a commercially available course, these resources may help you develop the capacity to do well and improve over time. A good LSAT score can mean the difference between admission to your preferred choices or not, as well as access to scholarships.

These LSAT preparation options are shared as a starting point and are not endorsements of any particular program. Take time to research and choose the approach that aligns with your needs and learning preferences.

Khan Academy

Khan Academy and the Law School Admissions Council have teamed up to produce an official--and free--preparation course for the LSAT.
