LSAT Ninja

I have developed a bad habit. You see, about a year ago, I began making predictions about upcoming LSAT administrations. It turns out that LSAT students are highly interested in the topic. And it has gone rather well so far. I predicted that the curve for the September test last year was going to be [...]

The clock is ticking… 10 days, 9 days, 8 days, 7 days, 6 days, 5 days… Yep, the LSAT is less than a week away. But no need to stress. Not much more than the rest of your life (higher education, career, attractiveness of your future spouse) is riding on your performance next Monday. My [...]

Scores have arrived. Thousands of anxious LSAT students awoke this morning with a frightening email in their Inbox. Subject: Your December 2009 LSAT Score. After a brief panic attack and some inspirational videos, many students have not yet summoned the courage to actually open said email. But once you have, you can join the big [...]

Happy Hanukkah. Merry Christmas. Good Kwanzaa. Despite the various salutations that are necessary to remain culturally sensitive these days, I refuse to be one of the non-committal pansies that resort to Happy Holidays. In the land of LSAT students and law school applicants, the holidays can be a very busy time of year.

It’s law school application season. Applicants are choosing their favorite schools and attempting to put their best foot forward. Schools are trying to entice the best candidates and wooing them with cash and prizes. The whole process is reminiscent of a courtship ritual, higher-education style. Since I took the LSAT this past September and scored [...]

I am bad at Halloween. You see, I always have a number of decent costume ideas, but I’m sorely lacking in the execution arena. Generally, I end up searching through the back of my closet for random remnants left over from my college years. A pink boa? Sure. Skin-tight, blue snakeskin shirt? Why not. And [...]

Three weeks is a long time. Empires have been built and destroyed in less than three weeks. You could travel around the entire world (probably a couple of times) in less than three weeks. Our national debt will grow by about $20 billion over the next three weeks. And yet, it takes three mind-numbing weeks [...]

The Patron has now officially exited my system, so I figure it is time to assess my LSAT experience Saturday. Disclaimer: LSAC regulations (which, along with the obligation of paying our licensing fees, we take very seriously) prohibit me from discussing the actual content of the test. Thus I cannot talk about answers or deductions [...]

We are getting close. It’s nearly game time. Crunch time. Crap your pants time. Whatever you want to call it, there are just eight real days left before the September LSAT. At this point in the process, I sometimes feel like I am doing more psychological counseling than LSAT teaching. With that in mind, I’ll [...]

As an LSAT instructor, it is natural to receive the same questions from students over the years. It almost gets to a point where you can predict the issues that students will raise and when they will be raised. However, there is one question that reigns supreme: When is the best time to take the [...]
