Thank you for a great video. It always appeared that recent 22 year old graduates went to a full time day 3 year program with summers off and older working students went to some local law school with part time year around program summer school etc. that talked about diversity of class idk if I was 22 I would want to go to law school with other 22 year olds but i guess it doesn't matter who else is in your class because you have to pass the exams on your own. Either way I would say the standard is to write a check for the tuition and not take any student loans, whether the parents pay for it, you get scholarships, or you have that much to burn on it after working in something else, I would like to know what that something else was and do that instead though . . .
Once I let go of finishing sections, I no longer had near the pressure I had before. Self-inflicted pressure might I add. It also hurt my motivation to do more sections. It really is worth letting that go. If you do happen to finish a section, great. Otherwise, let it go.
thank you guys for this particular episode. I am. retaking the LSAT from the June test and I have been racking my brain trying to figure where and how to start back up, so I appreciate this and I will be implementing this immediately.
The restructuring/renumbering of the tests since taking away the games has made me repeat sections too even though it was a new test.
I noticed he talked about warming up before the official test with a game. Do yall recommend drilling before tests to warm up?
Drill but don’t overload yourself. Mental endurance is a big factor in this test, and if you waste all your energy doing practice before the real thing, it might end up hurting you more than helping you.
To the student ... Don't tell a story to justify an answer. Instead, tell a story that attacks the argument. (This is a nuance - use that brain to pick apart the argument and identify what is either missing or what leaps the author made.) Once you have done that, ask the rhetorical --- well, have you considered this? Or, you only arrived at that conclusion because you wrong assumed XYZ. That becomes the basis for your pre-phrased answer, that story you created. Then look at the question. If it is to strengthen, you now know the flaw (weakness) and you pre-phrase so look to the answers to find one that shores up the weakness you found. Find the one that matches this flaw story you created (discovered/realized). Don't create a story to match the answer. And therein is the nuance --- WHEN you allow your brain to develop a story. Do it during the attacking of the argument, not during the review of the answer choices. You got this -- kick it's ass!
Wow. His practice of spending so much time reviewing missed questions just hit hard today! Good timing too… August and September are coming!
I'm studying to be a prep tutor. I'm a little concerned about the impact of this change on the business. It's my understanding that logic games is the section that people most often seek tutoring for.
Congratulations Patrick great LSAT score
can you interview someone who has a low income job such as being a teacher or something. Because I am struggling with going from a low paying job to a higher paying job. I am open to being in the health care field. The entry level jobs aren't paying that great. I am in a medical assistant program right now. I'm not smart enough to be a lawyer and I don't make enough to even go to law school. I prefer to go into the healthcare field. Although it is really competitive.
Idk why this was such a hard concept for me. Thank you for simplifying it so much.
Literally this is the greatest video in the history of mankind.
i wish 165 was an underperformance for me lol
For the LawHub Advantage, is that a separate fee, or will the monthly plans you guys offer cover that?
Separate fees to be paid to LSAC
You have to pay it no matter which prep company or monthly plan you use.
Thanks for the answer guys! And totally agree about seeing the section before, was just to illustrate the point of improvement. I’ll work on avoiding repeats in the future lol!
“We can argue about how fair that is for your fellow competitors” is a bad comment. The accommodations are there for a reason. Try having to read over LSAT questions 6 times before your brain can actually process what your reading
I think someone with ADHD could be a good lawyer, succeed in law school, etc. If someone with ADHD is capable of meeting the performance standards expected of them in law school, working as a lawyer, etc (with or without reasonable accommodations) such as doing well in law school classes, passing the bar exam, being good at research work, being good at understanding law issues, being good at understanding legal issues, being good at debating, not being afraid to speak in front of crowds, etc then I think someone with ADHD is capable of being a lawyer. I know some people with ADHD that are lawyers.
Lawyer here. Before I went to law school in 2017 I tried this. Before Kim Kardashian if you didn’t have legal experience a lawyer would think you are avoiding the hard work of law school. I ended up going to law school but after my fifth year of being an attorney I’d be happy to apprentice anyone who puts in the work.
Let’s not kid ourselves, it’s likely the “smart” people in class also have accommodations. LSAC posts accommodations numbers year by year and the average increase in numbers are significant. Further, high GPA doesn’t equate to “smart” and that’s not considering grade inflation.
Hey guys will LSAT Drilling include more Offical LSAT Tests Soon, to be reflective of the future tests?
The platform has all currently available official practice tests. As more are released they are quickly added, but LSAC releases new tests fairly infrequently
@@ryanvd7587 From my understanding the ones in the 90s range are not added. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Very helpful! Thank you guys!!!! ❤
Dude, what a perspective. “Be the LSAT writer’s attorney” is killer. Definitely going to adopt that.
I was told the exact same thing by a certain prep company. Something like “the LSAT should be intuitive. You won’t be able to raise your score by more than six points, but probably more like 2.” Now, the Demon has already proven otherwise I’m up 14 points on PT’s!
Talking about Anya just helped me so much.
Beautiful and smart!
Wow this makes perfect sense thank you!
Raven, you're such an inspiration! Congrats!
Thank you!
Team 137!!! Congrats Raven!
Thank you Congrats, to you as well!!
so inspirational <3
I will be 63 when I get to law school.
As someone looking at the PhD and JD sides of grad school, it’s still taking some time to get used to the idea of no interviews. PhD program interviews are an entiiiiiire event
I’m ticked. I’ve given too much money to these charlatans (non lsat demon plans) too much money to get no where. WTF.
Nice! Thanks for keeping it real and putting the stone cold info out there...
There are more than 3 law schools just in Philly--UPenn, Drexel, Villanova, & Temple. Plus, there is Rutgers Camden across the river. And there's Widener like 40 mins away in Delaware.
Even Rutgers has a campus in Camden, New Jersey which is basically across the bridge from Philly
This is awesome, I did my Bachelors and MLS online at ASU and was looking for a full online school. I work full time and travel a lot so it sounds like this program would be compatible.
Regarding the topic where you mentioned applying broadly will signal to other law schools that you may go to a higher ranked school if they don’t offer a higher scholarship amount - are law school admissions teams aware of the additional schools that you are applying to? Is this information provided to law schools by LSAC? Or do you mean using the various offers as leverage by bringing it up in the scholarship “negotiations” stage after acceptance? Thank you!
Replying to get the notifications of a response!
As far as we know, LSAC does not provide provide law schools with a list of the other schools where you've applied. Some law schools ask you to share that list as an optional question on your application. But yes, your most reliable bargaining chip in scholarship negotiations is to show them a better offer from a competitor school.
@@LSATDemonExcellent. Thank you!
A lot of people think that when people with ADHD get extra time on tests in school, college, etc that it's an unfair advantage over other students when in reality, it's not. It's understandable why many people think it's unfair for people with ADHD to get extra time on tests. The truth is it's only unfair to give people extra time on tests if the purpose of the test is to see how fast you can accomplish something like taking a swimming test in order to be a lifeguard or taking a running test in order to be a police officer. If someone is taking a running test in order to be a police officer where they have to be able to run a mile in 15 minutes or less in order to pass the running test, it would be an unfair advantage for some people to be held to a 20 minute or less standard for passing the running test while everyone else is held to a 15 minutes or less standard because the purpose of the running test is to see how fast you can run, to see if you can run a mile in 15 minutes or less, to see how fast you can accomplish something, etc. The purpose of taking a Math test, Science test, History test, SAT test, Accounting test, Engineering test, etc is to see how well you know and understand the material; not to see how fast you can finish the test. The main reasons why many teachers, professors, etc have time limits on tests is to keep people from taking advantage of unlimited time and to help prevent students from cheating. With unlimited time on tests, some students would take advantage of the situation and never finish their test. With unlimited time on tests, students would be allowed to spend several days taking the test, which can increase the likelihood for cheating since when students go home, it's extremely easy for them to look at their notes and then change their test answers the next day when they finish the test. These are the reasons why many teachers, professors, etc have time limits on tests; not because the purpose of the test is to see how fast you can accomplish something. Certain kinds of disabilities cause people to take longer than normal to finish tests. People with ADHD often take longer than normal to finish tests due to focusing issues, paying attention issues, concentration issues, etc associated with their disability. When people with ADHD don't get extra time on tests, their test score is often not going to be an accurate reflection of how well they know and understand the material, but when people with ADHD get extra time on tests, their test score is a more accurate reflection of how well they know and understand the material. If someone doesn't have a disability or medical condition that causes them to take longer than normal to finish tests, they don't need extra time on tests in order to accurately demonstrate how well they know and understand the material. Accommodations for disabled people are about leveling the playing field, equal opportunity, making sure everyone is able to accurately demonstrate their skills, making sure no one is at a disadvantage, etc; not unfair advantages, not lowering the standards, not lowering the integrity, etc.
