The Law School Admission Council has managed to save the April LSAT by moving it to May and introducing a remote format they are calling “LSAT-Flex.” Anyone registered for the April test should obviously be thoroughly familiar with what LSAC is doing.

Scheduling Your LSAT with the COVID-19 Emergency
I was hoping to be the only business that didn’t feel a need to do a COVID-19 update, since Advise-In Solutions is continuing operations without interruption. But…
LSAC has cancelled the March 2020 LSAT. LSAC doesn’t know any more than anyone else about what the future holds, so it’s possible that this will be the…
Verdict on New LSAT Format: Digital May Be Better
I’ve been talking to clients and others who took the digital form of the LSAT earlier in July. As a reminder, all LSATs from here on out will be in that format.
When LSAC announced the new format, there was a fair amount of hand-wringing, some from companies that were pushing people to take earlier…
New ABA Accreditation Standard: Is Bar Passage Rate Change Enough?
The American Bar Association recently passed a new standard for accreditation for law schools, mandating that to maintain accreditation, at least 75% of graduates of a law school must pass the bar within two years. If they don’t, it doesn’t mean immediate loss of accreditation but the ABA will presumably monitor steps law schools take…
Onscreen LSAT: Should It Change Your Plans?
The Law School Admissions Council announced awhile back that July’s LSAT would be the last to be administered, at least partially, in the old pencil-and-paper format.

Expanded LSAT Opportunities: Implication for Law School Admissions?
The ABA’s Abdication of Responsibility: Winners (Law Schools and The Bar Cartel) and Losers (Law Students) in the Rule Abandoning the LSAT (and Any Testing Requirement) for Law School Admissions
One reason regulation gets a bad name is because of regulatory hypocrisy. The American Bar Association’s logo banners: “Defending Liberty Pursuing Justice.” I guess you have to ask “for whom?”
The ABA will bring to a full vote in August its proposal—approved by relevant committees of, well, the ABA—to “eliminate the requirement of a ‘valid…
20 Years of Law School Admissions and LSAT Prep—And Running
Tuesday was my wedding anniversary. It occurred to me that I have been helping clients with law school admission, financial aid and LSAT preparation for longer than I have been married. Both seem shorter than they’ve been.
I’ve been helping prospective law students for more than 20 years. There are companies that are have been…
Advise-In Solutions LSAT Results Continue to be Outstanding
During the past year, my clients and I have achieved truly outstanding LSAT results (to say nothing of admissions and financial aid results that come partly from their LSAT results and partly as the result of putting together outstanding application packages and admissions/financial aid strategies).
From start to finish, my clients have averaged increased scores…
