LSAT preparation
Answer it before you read anything else
That is the entire list. Everything you have ever got wrong on this test is one of them, and across a section it is usually the same one, forty times. A score report will never tell you which.
Find out which one is yoursOur winter students gained an average of nine points. Our summer students gained fourteen. The summer course is the better course.
The reasoning above is most vulnerable to criticism on which ground?
Pick one
Four. Not forty. It has been the same list for as long as the test has existed.
You finished it knowing the subject.
The expensive one. It gets the strongest readers on the page.
Not a reasoning problem at all.
Everything you have ever got wrong is one of these. A score report tells you that you missed eleven. It will not tell you that nine of them were the same mistake.
Not what it was doing. The stimulus had a structure and you came away with a topic. After that every choice looks a bit relevant, because relevance is the only test you have left.
The choice was correct about the world. It was not supported by the eight lines in front of you. Strong readers lose more points here than anywhere else, and what causes it is knowing things.
Something fit, so you quit reading properly. The rest was confirmation. On a test built so the second-best answer is attractive, skimming five choices costs more than reading two.
Ninety more seconds and you had it. The ninety seconds went to the three questions before it. That is a budget problem, and it gets fixed in a completely different place.
It was never there. That is the whole question.
Arguments carry weight like anything else. Here is the one from the top of this page, standing up.
Three questions is not a diagnostic. It is enough to see the shape of one.
Every wrong answer below is true, or sounds it. At the end you get told which kind of miss you make, not how many you got.
Logic Games are gone. Plenty of study plans have not noticed.
Free, and not a lead magnet. It is the first hour of the actual work.
You work a set. For every miss, and every lucky hit, it asks what you thought the argument was doing, then shows you what it was doing. What comes back is a ranked list of the errors you make, each one attached to the questions that prove it.
Then it puts you on drills for the top of that list. Usually not the topic you would have picked.
24 questions. Ranked by cost, not count.
Drilling what you are already good at is a comfortable way to lose a summer.
One person can only read this closely for so many people.
A small number of students a cycle. Sessions run off your own worked sets rather than a syllabus, so the second one already knows what the first found. Between sessions the work goes at your top error, and it changes when the error does.
It starts with a call and a straight answer about where you are and what is realistic. That part is free either way.
Research
Points they never lose in practice. We are running a study with Dr. Ian Lyons in Georgetown's Department of Psychology, under an approved IRB protocol, on test anxiety and LSAT performance. The question is narrow: which interventions get those points back, measured rather than assumed.
Performance under pressure, not therapy. Nothing here is treatment. What comes out goes into how we prepare people for a timed room, and it gets published whichever way it lands.
No charge, and no pitch. If the honest answer is that you should sit the test again in a year, you will hear that instead.
