First, I suggest analyzing whether you really want to take on the massive economic burden that comes with attending law school. Some articles:

If you still think you would like to enter law school, then I would take as many practice LSAT's as you can stomach. I took 27 practice tests, which made me extremely prepared, confident, and calm on test day. Here is a 10 pack for only $20:

Suggest you ask the LSAT instructors , a few first year law students in an ABA accredited law school near where you live and the admissions dept of that -or any- ABA accredited law school. I graduated UCLA Law School in 1967. So I am not current on LSAT lore. But I can assure you that your chances of success in a law career will hinge significantly by the quality of the law school you attend. U.S. News & World report lists its choices of the best law schools in the U.S. Law firms, in-house corporate law departments and govt. law agencies ( County DA's office, City Attys office, U.S. Atty Office) consider the quality of the law school from which you graduated as well as your final law school class standing in deciding whether to hire you. So absolutely go to the best law school you get into , and don't go to some school unaccredited by the ABA ( like some in California where you must take the "Baby Bar" after your first year - something not required if you go to an ABA-accredited school). I suspect the Admissions Office of an ABA- accredited law school near you will have folks willing to chat with you , and ditto law professors in that school. Another idea for info- Go to a military base JAGC office and chat with some JAGC attys there. Good luck.
