text: The ultimate question for you to ask before taking the LSAT (I am not sure about the LNAT) is if you do well on a standard exam.  If you are good at it, you will very much likely succeed in getting high scores and in law school and the bar exam later on. My mentor who sat on the bar review commission told me there's a strikingly high correlation between the LSAT score, and the law school performance and the bar exam.  \n\nHaving said that, if you are not good at it, the best you can do is to learn how to approach the standard exams. And I want to remind you that being a poor standard exam taker is not insurmountable to overcome this.  However, you have to know how and follow exactly what I tell you here.  Here is how: The most important thing is when you practice by solving the problems, make sure you always time them.  The next important thing is once again, time them.  Next thing you have to worry about is .... you got the idea by now -- time them!!!!\n\nRemember also it is a game that most of us have the ability to do well.  But I have seen way too many people caught up with notion that you have to get all the questions right.  You should have no problem solving about a half of the problems correctly before you begin practicing them.
