101 Tips to Improve Your LSAT Score | Book


LSAT Blog 101 Tips Improve LSAT Score Free Book
If you're reading this, you’re probably studying for the LSAT. I know this process isn’t easy, and it can be incredibly frustrating at times. However, each year, many people overcome the hurdles and achieve significant score increases. Some even get top LSAT scores. Then, they go on to the law schools of their dreams. You ask yourself, how’d they do it?

When I first started LSAT Blog, there wasn’t any organized place where top scorers could share their tips. It seemed to me that future LSAT takers should be able to benefit from the lessons others learned along the way. My first attempt to solve the problem was by collecting their LSAT Diaries.

The project was almost too successful. There are now over 100 LSAT Diaries - more than most of you will ever read. Once I organized them, I started thinking about how to make them more accessible. I published short compilations of tips, but you guys wanted more.

To that end, I've put together a new book, "101 Tips to Boost Your LSAT Score."

You can get your copy on Google Drive for free.

Step 1. Click this link
Step 2. Click File --> Download As PDF

I hope this book helps you to achieve a top LSAT score.

LSAT PrepTest 65, Game 2 Questions

LSAC has posted a few questions from PrepTest 65, Game 2 on its website.

So, if you don't yet have a copy of PrepTest 65 and want to complete a few questions from a Logic Game on that exam while you're at work or without your prep books, you can do so.

Note: Don't be put off by the fact that LSAC presents them as sample questions for a new standardized test called "The Assessment of Critical Reasoning for Lawyers (ACRL)." It seems that LSAC is simply repurposing previously-administered LSAT questions for a new exam it's offering abroad.

LSAT Logic and the 2012 Mayan Apocalypse

If you'd like to write a post for LSAT Blog with your own analysis of the Mayan prophecy, or any other real-life situation, please email me. I'd love to feature you!


LSAT / Admissions Books for People Who Aren't Lazy (but don't want to read zillions of pages)


A few weeks ago, I read one of those articles about how sitting at desks is bad for your back, curves your spine, yadda yadda.

But I learned I could improve my posture by elevating my computer while sitting.

I thought a phone book might do the job, but turns out, they don't exist anymore.

So, I looked around... 

And noticed a couple of LSAT books (surprise, surprise). I put them under my computer, and...it worked!

I was able to raise my computer...A LOT:

LSAT Books Are REALLY long
