The good news is, the SAT and LSAT are completely different. There's no algebra on the LSAT, for example. Go to the library and get an LSAT prep book and try out some of the sample quizzes to see what I mean. Most LSAT questions are like logic puzzles -- they're testing to see that you've read the question and paid attention to detail, and then whether you can solve the puzzle. There are several questions like: "There are 8 guests at a dinner table. Alan must sit directly across from Barbara. Barbara can't sit next to Charlie. Charlie must sit two seats away from Dennis. etc., etc." Like that. Then there are multiple choice questions -- which you can answer once you've solved the puzzle. Take a sample quiz and get a flavor for it, then when you're ready to get serious buy a couple of the books and study up on it, then take the timed practice tests. It's a tough test, but it's nowhere near as tough as the bar exam. I studied like crazy for it while also working full time, and when I took the exam you could really tell which other people in the room had basically done nothing at all to study. They probably just assumed that because they got good SAT scores and did well in college that the LSAT would be a breeze. I was the first one to finish in a classroom of about 50 people. Also, unlike the SATs, there's no prize for getting a perfect score or anything. Don't even worry about that. All you have to do is get a good enough score to get in, and then no one ever cares anymore what you got on the LSAT. Good luck!
