I wrote the June 2004 LSAT. I had to study in the midst of the Flames run. I believe the test was in the first 2 weeks of June and I started studying approximately 4-5 weeks ahead of time. The key for the LSAT, IMO, is (a) getting the methods/strategy down for the 3 different sections, (b) doing as many questions as you can get your hands on and (c) peaking at the right time (not over/under studying).

I took a course through the "Renert Center" at the University of Calgary. I don't remember how I heard about them, but they were excellent. Moses and Aaron Renert teach the course and give you personal email/phone numbers so you can get in touch with them anytime. I think they might have expanded and have a course in Victoria. Their course is usually a Friday-Saturday-Sunday approximately 4-6 weeks before the test. Then there's a "Analytical Workshop" to concentrate on the analytical section and a mock test the Friday before the real thing.

I had excellent success with Renert (currently practicing) as did a friend who is starting law school in the fall. Some will tell you they did it without studying, or they studied for a couple days or they just bought a book and scored 179 or whatever. I took the approach to overprepare in the abudance of caution rather than see where I was "naturally." For many schools, a poor LSAT score can keep you out even if you rewrite (average) so take it once and be done with it.

PM me if you want more details: I could go on for awhile.
