The second, and likely smallest, LSAT of 2026 has wrapped, so it's time to talk specifics! Join Jon as he breaks down the February test—real sections vs experimentals, and every scaling outcome—as well as some breaking news for anyone testing a little later this year.

2026 is off to a roaring start with four intense days of January LSAT turmoil: not only was there an challenging mix of new and reused content, but the test makers pulled a Reading Comp stunt that caught everyone by (unfortunate) surprise. But as always Jon's on the case and has all the details, from what was real and what wasn't, to precisely what happened in RC, to the exact curve your scored sections will produce!

After five long days, the final LSAT of 2025 has mercifully ended, and Jon is here with everything you need to know! Tune in as he breaks down a whopping 14 sections from the November exam, clarifying what was scored and what was experimental, and providing scaling estimates for every combination of content.

In this brief, 18-minute discussion, Jon outlines his vision for the future of the PowerScore PodCast now that Dave Killoran, his long-time cohost, has departed. Give Episode 174 a listen if you're curious about what comes next!

2025's test year is drawing to a close, and the October LSAT cements itself as a milestone on many fronts. Not only did it contain a unique combination of new and reused content, but it's also Dave Killoran's final LSAT (and possibly podcast) at PowerScore. Tune in as he and Jon break down the test, predict scoring scales, and bid a very fond—and hopefully temporary—farewell to the greatest this industry's ever seen.

September 2025's LSAT proved to be one for the record books, as the test makers chose to forego the usual routine of mixing old sections with new, and instead presented exclusively first-use material for the entire week. But fear not: Dave and Jon weathered the storm and managed to track it all, compiling the entire catalogue of content! In Episode 172 they outline everything on offer, noting what was real and experimental, and detailing the scoring scales for all the content combinations.

The August 2025 LSAT has finally concluded after four frenzied days of testing, and as always Jon and Dave are on the scene to cut through the noise and separate the facts from the fiction. In Episode 171 they provide a detailed breakdown of what was scored and what wasn't (including that mysterious pair of Reading Comp sections!), curve estimates for every test form given, and an assessment of their latest Crystal Ball predictions to see if they kept their winning streak alive!

Episode 170 contains the full June 2025 LSAT breakdown, both international and domestic, where Dave and Jon outline every scored and experimental section in use all week, an analysis of how their latest Crystal Ball predictions turned out, and the scoring scales for each test format seen. Don't miss this comprehensive review of one of the biggest tests of the year!

In Episode 169, Jon and Dave open up their student mailbag once again! This time they focus on admissions, tackling topics like what outcomes you can expect with a low GPA, how to make the most of a nontraditional or non-law background, the consequences of academic infractions, and even the process—and likelihood—of transferring to a new law school after your first year.

The 2025 US News law school rankings have been released, setting the "official" standard by which schools will be compared to one another for the upcoming admissions cycle. In Episode 168, Dave and Jon offer their take on this year's rankings, including the controversial metrics and weighting involved, the most prominent winners and losers as schools rise and fall, and—above all—exactly what these rankings mean to you as an applicant!
