If you’re feeling stuck with your LSAT prep – just reach out and let me know, and I’ll do what I can to help.
You're clearly committed to succeeding on the LSAT - you demonstrated that by choosing to invest in yourself by continuing to read my articles.
However, I know the going can get tough at times, so if you just need some extra motivation, here's another of my favorite videos (football-focused, but the message is applicable to LSAT).
One quick tip: watching inspirational videos, listening to inspirational music, etc., really does make a difference in shifting you into a success-oriented mindset as you get into "LSAT prep" mode.
Anyway, please let me know if you need anything! -Steve Here’s that advice I promised on reviewing: * Analyze exactly where your error or misunderstanding stemmed from. Was it something in the passage or the answer choices? * If it was in the passage, was it your approach to reading the passage that was ineffective or incorrect, or was it something in the passage text itself that you misunderstood? * If it was in the answer choices, what was it in the incorrect answer choice you chose, identify what it was about the wrong answer choice that tempted you. Then identify what made it wrong in the end. * If there was something in the correct answer that made it seem unappealing, identify what it was. * And identify what made it correct in the end. Through repeating this process several times, you'll start to identify patterns in how LSAC constructs tempting incorrect answer choices. You'll see different types of techniques LSAC uses to make incorrect answer choices tempting. By the way, if you need some extra help, keep in mind that I often work with students privately 1-on-1. Reach out if you're interested in finding out more. P.S. Did you join the LSAT Unplugged Facebook Group yet? You can join here -----> In this group, you can find study partners and connect with like-minded students. I'll also be popping in to do the occasional Facebook Live video and share additional resources. Hope to see you there!
P.P.S. Next time, I’ll share with you a few free bonuses for being part of the LSAT courses.

My 3 biggest LSAT strategies for retakers
If you’re studying for an LSAT retake, you might run into a problem. If you’ve used a lot of your initial prep material, what do you use when trying to improve your score?
You’re certainly not the first person to encounter this problem, so here are a few tips:
|
1. Redo practice tests. Even if you've done every LSAT PrepTest (you probably haven't), you won't remember every question. The purpose of doing practice tests is to analyze the logic of each argument or game, so make sure you actually think through each question, even if you know you've done it before. Soon enough, the right answers to each question will seem obvious even if you've never seen the question before.
2. Avoid fake practice tests like the plague.
They're full of errors and not similar enough to real PrepTests. You're better off redoing old PrepTests than spending time with bad materials. (Check out my LSAT study schedules for guidance on how to structure your time as you prepare for your retake.)
3. Analyze your current performance on practice tests.
Save every PrepTest answer sheet from the first time. After a few months, retake these PrepTests and compare your performance between the 1st and 2nd times. If you answered the same question incorrectly both times, spend several minutes figuring out the reason. Keep track of all your mistakes by making a big list with the PrepTest #, Section #, and Question #. Make two columns: one for every serious mistake and one for every stupid mistake. Don't ignore stupid mistakes - they cost as many points as serious ones, and you can decrease the number of stupid mistakes you make.
Want more tips? I’ve got a bunch here -~~~~~~----->
Retaking the LSAT can be even more stressful than taking it the first time, but I’m here with you every step of the way!
Sincerely,
LSAT Steve
