The LSAT is the official law school admissions test used by the overwhelming majority of law schools in the United States. It is administered by the Law School Admissions Council.
The major requirements to become a lawyer are simple. First and foremost, you will need to be a graduate of an accredited undergraduate institution with a bachelors degree or its equivalent. Second, you will generally need to take the LSAT test to become admitted to a law school in the United States. Third, and finally, if you have a criminal background you may never be granted a license to practice law so going to law school might not be right for you. If you do have anything on your background you will need to discuss it with a qualified law school admissions officer at the different schools you are looking to attend. They will be able to advise you about the effects your past may have on your ability to be granted a license to practice law in various jurisdictions.
Don't worry about the education and experience you might need to get accepted into law school. As long as you have that bachelors degree you will get in somewhere and obtain a high quality education.
If you are worried that your LSAT score was bad or low or average...don't worry. Law schools want you, you'll just need to shop around and find the right one.
