LSAT India 2021 Topper Interview: Making legal remedies more accessible is Priyanshi Bhardwaj's aim

Q. What was your preparation strategy that helped you crack LSAT 2021? 

A. To familiarise myself with the LSAT question paper format and to improve my time management skills, I tried to solve as many questions from previous year’s LSAT papers as possible in addition to reading the prep book provided by the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). Besides, I also read newspaper editorials to prepare for the comprehension section. 

Q. Did you take any coaching for the exam? 

A. No, I did not take coaching for LSAT 2021. The LSAC provides a preparatory book along with a sample paper that covers most of the aspects of the test. 

Q. What study plan did you follow for the exam? 

A. Consistent practice and revision is the key to crack any exam. I solved as many questions as possible. There were days when I did some reading comprehension passages while going about my daily activities because it became a fun thing to do. 

Q. Which books did you read to prepare for the exam? 

A. I read books provided by the LSAC. Below are the names of the books: 

• The  official LSAT-India Superprep (the option to buy this comes when you  fill the LSAT India application form. 
• The  handbook by LSAT (again, compulsorily provided once you have  applied)

Q. How did you deal with your strengths and weaknesses while preparing for the exam? 

A. I tend to skip certain sentences while reading owing to the lack of patience. This has in a way reduced my reading time but at the same time I have to read the same thing a couple more times. Again, reading more enabled me to be more patient and efficient so that I could save the effort of having to re-read the same passages. 

Q. What other law entrance exams did you take or are planning to take? 

A. I am planning to take the DU LLB entrance examination as well, provided that the forms release before the academic year commences. 

Q. Was law always your first preference? 

A. Yes, law has always been my first preference. However, I did have doubts and thus chose to pursue a separate bachelor of law degree first, scared that maybe law will not be the right decision. Doing this has helped me realise that running away from complexities is not a good decision, especially if one wants to work towards societal well-being. It is absolutely okay to have doubts in your mind and rethink certain decisions, just remember that if you are passionate enough, you will find a way. 

Q. Any tips for students who are planning to take the exam in future? 

A. One needs to religiously follow the age-old saying of ‘practice makes a man perfect’. It is extremely important to develop a reading habit, to develop patience and most importantly, to consistently work in the direction of these. It does get frustrating when initially you do not get the answers right, and that is okay, it is supposed to happen. Understanding that you will get better with time (and believe me, you will) is important. Apart from that, sleep well and prioritise your physical and mental well-being. 

Q. What are your future plans?  

A. I plan to work towards making legal remedies more accessible. This becomes all the more important considering that the current COVID-19 pandemic situation has made legal institutions inaccessible, not only to the general public but also to the lawyers.
