I never win anything from Westlaw or Lexis, and I've been using both for almost 3 years!!! I've started thinking it's rigged b/c when you look at the Lexis list of winners from your school--the same people win everything. Oh well. I'll have enough points here shortly to get something good.
As for the LSAT question. All I can say is Kaplan saved me...if it hadn't been for them, I don't think I would have gotten into law school--much less gotten a full scholarship! I had a great undergrad GPA, a career resume filled with experience, but if I had applied based on that, I don't think I'd be where I am now. I was not disciplined enough to study for the test on my own...I was sucking it up, studying by myself & getting crappy scores every single time. I took the Kaplan class and my score jumped over 15 points....knowing the tricks of the test is invaluable. It was the best $1 grand I ever spent.
Ditto on what KDDani said--law schools are going to be inundated with applications for the foreseeable future b/c of the economy. If you are serious about it, you can't afford to try to skate by on the other factors...they will be looking for the whole package. (even though I don't believe the LSAT is a good measure of your ability to do well in law school...but that's another thread topic for another day...).
Good luck to you.
