The Best Way to Review LSAT Reading Comprehension Questions

The Best Way to Review LSAT Reading Comprehension Questions

There are many excellent resources that discuss how to review LSAT questions in general, but few discuss the best ways to specifically review Reading Comprehension questions. It can be tough to review a full passage and 5 to 8 questions, so let’s discuss what you should be doing.Understand the Passage This may seem rather obvious, but it’s often an overlooked part of Reading Comprehension review. Go back and re-read the passage, and as you go through each line, make certain you understand what was said.

Timing Your LSAT Course: Now or Later?

1 Week Until the LSAT: Last-Ditch Efforts and How to Make Them Work

1 Week Until the LSAT: Last-Ditch Efforts and How to Make Them Work

Before we begin, let's get one thing out of the way. If you haven't already studied for the LSAT for at least 1-2 months, there is little you can do in the last week before the test. Yes, life can get in the way and even the best-laid plans go astray. Unfortunately, you cannot cram for the LSAT. It's a test of how you think, not how much you know.Unlike most knowledge-based tests, the LSAT measures whether you possess the skill set necessary to excel in law school. For example: close reading, critical reasoning, rule application, and information synthesis. These skills develop over time, … [Read more...]

The PowerScore 2019 LSAT Bibles: Changes and Updates

The PowerScore 2019 LSAT Bibles: Changes and Updates

Every year I make revisions and updates to the LSAT Bibles, and there are several different reasons for that. First, at least three new LSATs are released each year. I make changes to account for new wrinkles used by the test makers. Second, I talk with many different LSAT students and also teach various sessions throughout the year, and the feedback I receive helps me shape and improve parts of each book. Finally, as I discussed previously, the books have changed so much over time that providing new versions each year helps students know they are getting the most up-to-date information … [Read more...]

Using the LSAT Bibles: Should Your Score Go Up Immediately?

Using the LSAT Bibles: Should Your Score Go Up Immediately?

One frequent question I get comes from students reading the LSAT Bibles who wonder how much of a score increase they should see while reading the book. The answer is that while you are reading the books, you probably won't see much of a score increase. It's after you finish the book and start working with ideas where you will begin to see the greatest score increases! Let's talk about why that is the case. LSAT Studying Is Not Linear To be sure, many students do see significant increases while they are still reading the LSAT Bibles. But, that's not the case for everyone, nor is it a … [Read more...]

Each year I make revisions and updates to the LSAT Bibles, and there are several different reasons for that. First, at least three new LSATs are released each year, and I like to make changes to some of the content to account for new directions taken by the test makers. Second, I talk with many different LSAT students and also teach various sessions throughout the year, and the feedback I receive helps me shape and improve parts of each book. And, finally, as I discussed last year, the books have changed so much over time that providing new versions each year helps students know they are … [Read more...]

The 2015 vs. 2016 PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bibles

Every year, we release an updated version of the LSAT Logic Games Bible, including the 2016 version.  We do this to account for changes in the test, to expand and clarify certain explanations, and to add new and refreshed content in order to keep the books as useful as possible. Because of the extent of these yearly changes, one of the most common questions we get each year is: can I use an LGB from a prior year to study for this year's LSAT? Sometimes the answer is yes, and sometimes it is no. This year, the answer is no, so please allow me a moment to explain why.First, if you've bought … [Read more...]
