An unexpected benefit of LSAT studying

Ok, we all know studying for the LSAT with a very specific goal: Get That Score. The Score, after all, is what is going to get you into that law school and advance your future.

However, because LSAT questions often don’t pertain to things in your everyday life (I’m looking at you, brown dwarf stars) it can be hard to motivate yourself to stay consistently engaged.
Well, here’s a little tidbit that’ll make you happy:


Students studying for the LSAT showed a visible improvement in the reasoning section of their brain (details here).


That’s right - by studying for the LSAT you are literally making your brain more efficient. It’s pretty incredible stuff, and it’s good to know that all this work you’re putting in will give you some major long-term benefits beyond just going to a good law school.


There are other ways to take advantage of this, too. This article highlights a memory game that could actually improve your “working” memory and therefore your LSAT score.


This doesn’t replace your LSAT study materials, but if you need to switch it up and try something to different to give your brain a break this is a great resource.

The Very Reasonable LSAT STEVE


P.S. I mentioned “The Score” at the beginning of this article, and next time, we’re going to get into how those scores actually get calculated.


Why?

Because there’s a lot of misinformation and confusion on how you actually arrive at your LSAT score, and if you’re going to commit this much time to a test, you should understand how it’s graded. That’s one of the ways you can start training yourself to see things from the test-makers’ point of view – helping you get into the always-important LSAT mindset.
