In this LSAT-focused episode of GradMissions Office Hours, Autumn sits down with Ben Parker of Hey Future Lawyer to cut through the noise of LSAT prep and admissions strategy. Together, they unpack why most LSAT “studying” doesn’t move scores, why reading—not logic games wizardry—is the real differentiator, and what actually drives dramatic score increases.

Ben walks listeners through his results-first approach to LSAT prep, explains why practice and review beat performative studying every time, and shares hard truths about timing, consistency, and planning for multiple test takes. The conversation also covers GPA strategy, why sacrificing grades for early LSAT prep is a losing trade, how admissions cycles are shifting, and when waiting a year actually improves outcomes.

If you’re serious about law school admissions—and want advice grounded in data, ethics, and real results—this episode is your no-nonsense guide to preparing smarter, earlier, and with intention.
