As the September 2022 LSAT comes to an end, Dave and Jon are here with the full breakdown! Tune in to hear their overview of student feedback and general difficulty, a section-by-section analysis of what was scored and what was experimental, and, as always, scale predictions for every test form and what they mean for your results.

The August 2022 LSAT is in the books, freeing Jon and Dave to reveal all the key details! In Episode 116 they outline the scored and experimental sections used, general impressions of difficulty, and, as always, their scoring scale estimates for every section combination. They also take stock of their latest Crystal Ball predictions and how accurate they were for this test (hint: extremely!) and their expectations for September. Don't miss it!

Another recent test goes under the microscope as Dave and Jon continue their LSAT Logic Games Explained series, this time exploring PT 91+. First offered in February 2009, and seen many times since (most recently in May 2020), these games have it all—Grouping, Basic and Advanced Linear, Combinations, Templates, and Numerical Distributions—making them an ideal yardstick for gauging your LG skills!

The first days of your LSAT journey are an exciting time, filled with new ideas to investigate and opportunities to explore. But it can also be a tremendous challenge to know how and where to begin! In Episode 114, Jon and Dave break down precisely how to get started, from creating an ideal gameplan and establishing the proper mindset, to the crucial mistakes you must avoid. Don’t kick off your prep without listening to this discussion!

The June LSAT was another wild ride, from the use of two tests predicted in our latest Crystal Ball to the introduction of a brand new experimental Logic Games section! Join Dave and Jon as they break it all down, identifying source tests for the domestic and international exams, highlighting everything that was scored and experimental, and finally outlining the precise scoring scales from 155 to 170 that each test combination will produce.

On Saturday, June 11th, test takers were shocked to encounter a brand new LSAT experimental section, blindsided by the fact that it was unannounced, was clearly labeled as unscored, and contained just three mini-Logic Games intermixed with survey questions about solution strategies. In Episode 112, Jon and Dave take a closer look at this surprise development, explaining exactly what happened and why, and what it means for the future of the LSAT.

Dave and Jon’s LSAT Logic Games Explained series continues with a look at the most recent official test, PT 92+. This exam, first administered in February 2012 and then retested in June 2020, provides an opportunity to explore a games set wholly representative of modern LSATs, with a mix of Linear, Grouping, and Numerical Distribution elements that demonstrate the test makers’ current tendencies and that will have you ready to tackle whatever they throw at you on test day!

Well, we made it: the last of the April LSAT make up tests is finally behind us, closing the book on a long and rocky administration. Given the volume of test takers forced to sit for a retake, Jon and Dave have devoted an extra episode to the April make up exams, including how things went, what was scored and what was experimental, and the scoring curve they expect these proxy tests will produce.

A surprising new policy has just been proposed by the ABA that would make the LSAT (and all other entrance exams) optional for law schools, paving the way for a future where applicants no longer need test scores for admission. In episode 109, Dave and Jon break down these developments, exploring where things stand, what’s likely to follow, and what it all means for applicants going forward!

The April LSAT has been tumultuous at best, with system outages preventing hundreds from testing on Saturday, three days of make ups for affected students, and widespread confusion about scored and unscored sections. But fear not: Jon and Dave weathered the storm and in Episode 108 they cover it all, from the disastrous weekend and LSAC’s concessions to what was real and what was experimental to all the predicted scoring scales for the various test forms used!
