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 [...]

Since some crazy folks have started circulating rumors about the Logic Games on the LSAT becoming more difficult over the last year or so, I thought it might be appropriate to outline some brutal deductions. Say hello to the final game from the September 2009 LSAT. In order to get through this game in less [...]

Should I Cancel the February LSAT?

You have until Friday to decide. No, I am not talking about your destination for Valentine’s Day or your excuse for making this weekend a super-long weekend.

Countdown to LSAT Game Day

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.

Predicting the September 26th LSAT Curve

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 three-year periods, [...]
