I get so many questions about how to get a great LSAT score so let's talk about it (and pls ignore the plain background I filmed this while on a trip)
The best way to improve your score is rote practice after first learning the fundamentals. I recommend getting a high-level overview of the questions before you begin spamming practice tests, beginning with older exam questions and ramping to more recent ones. Eventually you'll figure out your weak points and you can/should practice hitting those sections more.

Thank you so much for posting this!! I'm in month 2 of studying for the LSAT in October, and I've been learning the question types and do my best to practice as many questions as possible. I watch your Short telling me that I can get from the 140s to the 170s with practice, practice, practice. It's nice to hear advice from a lawyer who remembers that the struggle is real with this exam. Thank you again!! (Also, for the young ones worrying about not getting into law school soon...I'm 39 and will be 40 when (if accepted) I begin law school. Yup, I'm changing careers! So keep your head up, study and practice like Julian says, and remember you got this!)

I only started looking at test questions for the LSAT last week and was shocked. Just completed a BA in Criminal Justice and NONE of my undergraduate studies prepared me for ANY of the LSAT. I had never even seen a "logic game" until I started taking some practice test problems and it totally freaked me out! I took my first full practice test two days ago and scored a 144. Hearing about your story and experience gave me a much-needed confidence boost. Thanx

Hi Julian! Your advice is really inspiring. I find myself coming back to this video regularly just to remind myself to be patient . I was wondering, during the PT stage, were you ever doing one PT a day or more? Do you think doing more PTs with review contributed to a more significant jump in your score once you were over the 160 mark? Did you ever feel apprehensive about taking PTs initially?

First of all, thank you for all the great work that you do! Love your vids; they’ve helped me out a lot during my LSAT journey. You’ve stated that the Powerscore Bibles work best, what is your opinion about “The LSAT Trainer” and Khan Academy. I realize that the resources people use to study may be based on preference for whatever works best in their favor; but, if you’ve used or have taken a look at both of those resources, would you recommend them? Or, are you saying that hands-down Powerscore works best? Also, what’s your opinion about remote testing vs in-person testing? What would be your recommendation, if you don’t mind me asking?

@julianinlaw Год назад

You're so welcome! So, I haven't tried LSAT Trainer or Khan, or 7Sage, but I've heard good things about all. I don't think you can do wrong with using them, especially if you study with a mix of the resources too (which I'd actually recommend). PowerScore is reliable and consistent which is why I like them, plus they've been around for a while. For remote v. in person, I think remote would be less nerve wracking since you aren't surrounded by other testtakers, so I'd probably go with that option. But if you think you perform better in a controlled space, then in person makes more sense. Wild that they allow remote now, that was definitely not a thing when I took the exam.

You're welcome - and good on you for making a change. My mom got her PhD in her mid 40s and never looked back. Securities is a great field - growing and definitely not going anywhere. It can be a bit complex and wonky, so be prepared to read through the rules and become a technical lawyer

@darkwoodmovies 7 месяцев назад

Not that I have any interest in law school, but I was curious after watching Suits and looked at some sample questions. Bruh, it's all reading! I could never pass that on the fact that I'm a slow reader, even if the logic stuff is usually easy for me.

@ryanbrown7471 11 месяцев назад

Awesome content and insight! I am currently making 150-175k annually in Application Security. How realistic would it be to accomplish a similar salary, pursuing law and how long in the field would it take? I’m looking up average salaries in law and it appears to be significantly less than what I’m currently making. However, monetary means is not necessarily why I would want to pursue law but I have financial needs with consideration to my existing circumstances.

@julianinlaw 11 месяцев назад

If you do biglaw you'll immediately make more. For mid/small law you can get there quickly, probably within 3 years. But remember law school costs a lot so that's a major factor you should consider too!

I'm an investor so I'm all about basis' and looking at something in various ways, conjuring, etc. I was very surprised that LSAT tilted me and got a poor score. I usually heir on the side of what's cost effective and least stressful, while leveraging skills I know I want to expand on. I have experience in Medicaid, general probate, I'm interested in all kinds of trusts, estate/tax at least for now.

3-6 months of studying is some of the worst advice I've ever heard. You should ideally start studying a year before the exam. This way you don't need to ramp up to ever spending more than maybe 10 hours a week and you have the opportunity to take many practice tests.

@julianinlaw Год назад

we can agree to disagree! I think 3-6 is more than sufficient if one prioritizes it and ramps up to 20-30 hrs a week

@shareefomar579 2 месяца назад

I studied for over a year and I regretted it. I over studied, overthought, and burned out. Like he said, it’s a thinking exam, not a memorization exam. So the risk of burnout is real and more time does not necessarily equal better results. I wish I just studied 6 months and went for it. But I kept wanting to study more to improve my score. In the end, my score declined from its peak. Just my experience though.
