As we fast approach the final three LSATs of 2019, Dave and Jon dust off their crystal balls and set about predicting exactly what to expect from each of these upcoming tests! Specifically, they review the Digital LSAT lessons learned in July, exploring some of the most common issues faced and how to address them on test day, then turn to a section-by-section analysis of recent trends to help you anticipate what you’ll see and prioritize your prep accordingly. Anyone with a 2019 test ahead of them needs to give this a listen!

there are no highligthers allowed for the tablet exams! i brought highlighters with me to july not knowing i would have the tablet and they made me throw them away because they are forbidden materials now!
Dave Killoran says
Hi Lindsey,
Right, the highlighters that are available are the ones built into the tablet. So when we talk about highlighting, that’s what we are referring to in the podcast!
Side note: despite the prior point, the separate use of highlighters on the scratch paper (as in, people brought their own) was actually allowed at multiple centers. So even LSAC isn’t clear about their policy 🙂

Good Evening!
I just listened to the podcast and re-listened to it but must have totally missed the curve prediction. Do you have a prediction of what the curve will be?:)
