The LSAT can be a vital part of any law school application.
The exam tests logical and analytical reasoning, reading comprehension and writing skills.
Using a diagnostic exam and practice writing samples, your Arete tutor will create a personalized curriculum designed to highlight your strengths and improve upon weaknesses. Students will continue to take practice tests to track progress and adapt to the rigors of the test.
** Please Note: Many law schools, including twenty top law programs such as Harvard, Columbia, Georgetown, Northwestern and UPenn, now accept GRE scores from law school applicants.
