LSAT Ninja

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 [...]

If you are studying for the quickly approaching December LSAT, you have probably reached a level of temporary insanity by this point. It is likely that you are accusing your significant other of committing fallacies during your intimate moments, you are having dreams in which you are actually one of the players in a [...]

Eighteen days and counting to the December LSAT.
So I thought it was time for me to put my neck on the line again. I have developed a dangerous habit of making predictions about upcoming LSATs. Kinda like Miss Cleo, LSAT-style (minus the fake Jamaican accent and fraud allegations).
Prior to the September [...]

D-Day is coming. Quickly.
If you check out the LSAC website, you will see that this Sunday, November 15, is the deadline to postpone your test date.

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 [...]

I am taking the LSAT on Saturday, as are many of you.
The experience of taking the LSAT is generally associated with a great deal of trepidation for students, but I assure you there is nothing to fear. I have taken the real deal three times in the past. So this will be round [...]

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 [...]

So there is always a lot of discussion about the “curve” of the LSAT. When people talk about the curve of the LSAT, they are generally referring to the score conversion, or how many questions you must answer correctly to get a certain LSAT score. The percentiles for the LSAT are fixed over [...]
