December 2013 LSAT Logic Game Solution

I just made a video explanation for the first LSAT Logic Game from LSAT PrepTest 71 (December 2013 LSAT). It's the game where a movie studio is scheduling the release of 6 films. The bands are Fiesta, Glaciers, Hurricanes, Jets, Kangaroos, and Lovebird.

I explained all questions in one video that's just under 9 minutes. (Get more free LSAT videos.)

LSAT Diary: Avoiding Panic and Gaining Confidence

This installment of LSAT Diaries comes from Sarah, who took the December 2013 LSAT after using my 1-month day-by-day LSAT study plan.

Update from Sarah:

"I got a 160! Which, if you remember from my diary, is the best score I've ever gotten! I know it's not the greatest score ever, but it's MY best score and it'll probably get me into the law schools I want to go to (Northeastern, specifically). Thank you SO much for all the help you've given me through your blog. I hope you know how valuable your site is to people who can't afford traditional tutoring."

If you want to be in LSAT Diaries, please email me at LSATUnplugged@gmail.com. (You can be in LSAT Diaries whether you've taken the exam already or not.)

Thanks to Sarah for sharing her experience and advice!

So, from now through the end of Black Friday, I'm donating all profits from sales of my day-by-day LSAT study plans to the following 3 charities (divided evenly between them).
