How Jeremy’s Guides Are Researched
Every ConnectPrep guide is checked against primary sources. Test dates come from College Board, ACT, LSAC and E3n. Admissions policies come from each school’s own admissions pages. Law school data comes from the ABA and JD-Next. Each page shows the date it was last verified, and we update pages when an official source changes.
