Want free LSAT books? Of course you do.I'm running a contest on the blog for the next week or so.
It's simple - you email me an LSAT-style analysis of a news article, online video, etc. You can find examples in my blog posts that analyze logic in real life.
If yours is one of the best 5 submissions, you'll win a free LSAT book, or two, or three. And you'll get to learn about the LSAT in the process.
The prizes:
One 1st place winner will receive a free copy of each of the 3 GROUPED books: GROUPED by Game Type, GROUPED by Question Type, and GROUPED by Passage Type (value: $115)
One 2nd place winner will receive their choice of 2 of the 3 GROUPED books listed above (value: $70-$90).
Three 3rd place winners will receive a copy of GROUPED by Game Type (value: $35).
Infinite 4th place winners can win eternal Internet fame by having their submissions published on the blog.
Deadline for submissions is Sunday, May 16, 11:59PM Eastern Time.
Send them to me at LSATUnplugged at gmail dot com
Good luck, and I look forward to reading your submissions!
