Ballin’ on a Budget: Thrifting for Answers in Must Be True Questions

Ballin' on a Budget Thrifting for Answers in Must Be True Questions

It would be nice to spend even a day with the deep pockets of Jeff Bezos. If hard-pressed, my Richie Rich fantasies could settle for the likes of a Richard Branson. However, I have learned the importance of staying within a limited budget. I am far more likely to be found shopping at Goodwill than at Gucci. But hey, that doesn’t rule out rocking a thrift store penguin suit to blend in with the locals in Antarctica. Staying within our budget is just as imperative when choosing Must Be True answers. However, this budget doesn’t involve good old fashioned greenbacks or even the gold coins … [Read more...]

Off to the R.A.C.E.S.: The Playbook to Follow in Seeking LSAT Success

The Playbook to Follow in Seeking LSAT Success

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! In preparing for the mental Olympics that is the LSAT, it’s important to train like a gold medalist. I have been tutoring and teaching in LSAT dojos across the country since 2005. Since then, I've found the proper regimen to help take your scores to the top of the podium. The origin of this regiment starts with the nerdiest argument I've ever heard. Years ago, while in Berkeley to give an LSAT presentation on campus, I sat in the back row of the auditorium and took in my surroundings. There, I overheard two underclassmen having an irrationally … [Read more...]

A Qualitative Analysis: How Measurements of Quantity Affect the LSAT

A Qualitative Analysis on Quantitation: How Measurements of Quantity Affect the LSAT

“Thanks for teaching me the definition of many....it really means a lot.” Dad Jokes aside, knowing the exact definition of quantified terms like many can be crucial in mastering the LSAT. Quantification is an integral element in the discussion of logical force. This concept is of the utmost importance in understanding the power of language. Speaking with high levels of logical force doesn’t imply that you hold any special title, nor does it apply when you’re using whatever is the opposite of your inside voice. Rather, logical force refers to the power of your words and how much evidence would … [Read more...]

Nature vs. Nurture: The LSAT’s Take on the Root Causes of Human Behavior

Nature vs. Nurture: The LSAT's Take on the Root Causes of Human Behavior

It may have been as early as middle school when you were first introduced to a psychosocial debate that attempts to answer perhaps life’s most important question. From the time humans developed the ability to formulate questions, we’ve wondered why we are the way that we are. The concept of Nature/Nurture has been around since at least the Elizabethan period, but the ideas were first proposed back in ancient Greece when Aristotle and Plato discussed the origin of human knowledge.This concept has shown up repeatedly on the LSAT over the years! Test makers have discussed behavior traits … [Read more...]

What’s the Most You’ve Ever Lost on a Coin Toss? Tracking 50/50 Elements in Logic Games

For some students, the mere thought of a logic game is as terrifying as the anthropomorphic creeping death presented by Anton Chigurh in the Coen Brothers’ classic film, No Country For Old Men. Javier Bardem brings Cormac McCarthy’s world-class literary villain to life. In my mind, the best scene of the whole movie involves a coin toss.Despite how it can sometimes feel, a logic game is never quite as scary as that particular coin toss. The LSAT is of course a massively important element in achieving your law school dreams. But, even the most nightmarish logic game is not literally life or … [Read more...]
