Exactly! But you could still do it. One step at a time. Get some LSAT text books--either the old tests, or the books in the bookstores with sample tests.

Start doing them. On your free time-- when you're watching tv, sitting around listening to music, etc.

I did that. it can get to be fun. After a while, you start focussing on whatever you have most problems with and most fun with.

Then you start "taking" them, on your own, timing yourself, seeing how you do.

Then you figure out if you need one of those courses to prep.

Then you take the actual LSAT. They give it at frequent intervals, all year.

This can take two months, three months, six months, whatever. A year or year and a half later-- you can be in law school. Doesn't matter that much where you go, as long as you go to a decent school. Even a night school arrangement.

I took the LSAT and got into a law school. Unf. (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) I didn't go, but it was pretty easy to get in-- by the method I just outlined.

I just did a bunch of tests for a while, and took the LSAT, and voila.

Buy the book. What do you have to lose?

[Or, to be sure, any other field you're more interested in.... ]

I'll give you whatever tips I can, and I"m sure others here will too-- and finelinebob can fill you in on how to fail and get through the whole process anyway.
