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

Many believe the Mayans predicted that the end of the world would occur in December 2012.

In this post, LSAT Blog reader Sami analyzes that claim. Please feel free to discuss her analysis, and the imminent doom we may be facing, in the comments.

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:

40 Unofficial LSAT Logic Games for Extra Practice

Even MORE Practice Games Because You People Can't Get Enough

Look, I’m proud of you for studying so hard for the LSAT. I really am.

But do you have any idea how many emails I get every week that are some version of: 

“I’VE FINISHED ALL THE OFFICIAL LSAT GAMES AND I NEED MORE! HELP ME STEVE!!”

Well, ask and ye shall receive!

I partnered with Alex, a fellow LSAT tutor, and he agreed to share 40 unofficial LSAT Logic Games that he wrote. These are questions specifically designed to give you some extra practice after you’ve finished the provided Logic Games, so be aware they’re not easy!

And, if you need them, we’re also offering in-depth explanations. These are great for showing you why the right answers were right and why the wrong ones were wrong.

Even if you absolutely kill these Logic Games (which I hope you do), it’s still really valuable to get the explanations because it helps you get in the mindset of the people who write the questions. Being able to think like a test-maker instead of a test-taker is one of the best weapons you can have in your LSAT arsenal.

All set? You can get 'em right here:

Get all 40 games and explanations for only $29.94:

Or get just the 40 games for only $19.97 (less than 50 cents per game):

Sincerely,
Steve "feeding your LSAT addiction" Schwartz



P.P.S. If you consider how much money you'll make from increasing your LSAT score and getting into a better law school...or getting more scholarship money...$29.94 is such a tiny drop in the bucket.
