Did you know there’s an essay portion of the LSAT? Did you know you can’t get your score until you complete one? Yikes!

The good news is that the writing sample isn’t scored, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t turn in your best performance. So, listen as Jelena & Branden break down the format of the Writing Sample and work through an example.

Listen and learn . . .

  1. What the purpose of the writing sample is
  2. How law school admissions officers use them (or sometimes don’t?)
  3. How your writing sample can affect the way your personal statement is received
  4. How to organize your essay in order to impress the admissions committee
  5. And more!
