Should I only study for the LSAT?

Answer 1

While some law schools are starting to accept the GRE (or the GMAT for combined MBA/JD programs), most law schools still rely exclusively on the LSAT, your undergraduate grades, your essays, and your overall application. The best course of action is to call your prospective law schools and ask them what standardized tests they accept for admission.

If you are still in school make sure you continue to study for classes as well. Keeping up your grades is also important to your law school application. Most students are able to balance studying for school and the LSAT (or GRE) at the same time. A good study schedule is the key. If you are uncertain about how to balance your study time, a good tutor can help you construct an effective individualized schedule.

Answer 2

Some of the top schools now also accept the GRE. Depending on your skill set, you may have an easier time with either the LSAT or the GRE. I suggest you study whichever one you are better at if the schools you want to attend take both. If only some take both and you are good at the GRE, consider preparing for and taking both tests to maximize your acceptances. Otherwise, just study the LSAT.
