Is it worth taking the LSAT and GRE?

[Chewmeister3]

I am wanting to do some sort of business/finance/economics dual degree with my JD. I was wondering if a good GRE score will improve my chances of getting into a good program or if I should just exclusively focus on the LSAT.

You should check with the admissions folks at the programs to which you are considering applying, Chewmeister3, and find out what their requirements are. Call them to ask about any advantages, or disadvantages, of taking both. I can tell you that most law schools that accept a GRE score in lieu of the LSAT will nevertheless prioritize your LSAT score if you have one on file. So, if you are concerned about the LSAT, feel you can do better on the GRE, and have verified that a GRE score is all you need to gain admission to a program that interests you, go for the GRE and do not take the LSAT. If, on the other hand, you feel like you can do well on the LSAT, and those joint programs accept it in lieu of the GRE, take the LSAT. And if you can do well on both, and you're not concerned about either of them looking bad on your application, and if some programs indicate that they like to see both, then do both!
