Most LSAT students think they are studying harder than they actually are.
Ben breaks down new Hey Future Lawyer study data showing that only about 6% of students were meeting a set of baseline study standards, including consistent practice, timed sections, review, and occasional full practice tests. The students who were meeting those standards were also producing massive score improvement.
Ben explains why drilling alone is not enough, why LSAT prep built around question types and gimmicks misses the core skill being tested, and why the LSAT is fundamentally a test of precise reading and comprehension.
Plus: why you should keep studying after taking the LSAT until your score comes back, why your LSAT score has enormous consequences for scholarships and career options, a Logical Reasoning walkthrough, application timing, LSAT score inflation, and a listener question about public interest goals in law school applications.
