This fear often affects their ability to perform their best on the exam,” says Harrisburg Director of Admissions Eric Kniskern. “In taking a practice test under similar testing conditions, we hope to take some of this fear of the unknown away from the test so that their true abilities can shine.”<br><br>“After scoring their exams, students will have an idea of the areas in which they need to improve before the actual test. Sometimes a few points in one area can make all the difference in the final score because there's no penalty for wrong answers. The test is solely based on the number of correct answers,” adds Riddle.<br><br>To register for either of the practice exams, those interested should visit <a href="/Admissions/OldAdmissionsSite/MeetWidener/MockLSAT/MockLSATRegistrationForm.aspx">law.widener.edu/practicelsat</a>.
