But I remember the students in class at first, they were like, his questions bothered them. But he was the type of learner who had to enunciate the problem and then ask me questions about it. Not so much later on because he didn't understand it, but because he wanted confirmation that he was right. So at first, people ... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment2.mp3 |
I was like, you realize he already knows the answer. He's just making sure that he's right. And they couldn't believe it. And I was like, well, we're not gonna talk about practice test scores, but let me just say that he's at the top of the class now. Yeah, if you only knew. Yeah, and he was a great guy, fantastic pers... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
And I was like, well, we're not gonna talk about practice test scores, but let me just say that he's at the top of the class now. Yeah, if you only knew. Yeah, and he was a great guy, fantastic personal story, still a friend of mine, ended up going to the University of Pennsylvania and did well there. It's kind of succ... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
It's kind of success story that comes back to me, and I'm like, this is part of the reason why I do this. Is you see that kind of impact, and it's just awesome to have that effect on people's lives. It's impossible to overstate the joy you get from something like that. Let me then interject part two of this, which is, ... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Let me then interject part two of this, which is, are there scenarios or situations in which a cancel would be warranted? We say that there are few and far between, but what might one or two look like? I suppose, you know, the first thing is, if you feel like there's any chance that you are near your practice test aver... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
When you cancel, and again, I think there's some debate, even if you should ever think about canceling, but to me, let's say you are a pretty good test taker, you know your skills and abilities, and let's say something happens during the test that is just a disaster. You get sick during the exam, you get a bloody nose,... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
I didn't even know what I was doing on logical reasoning, and found myself running out of time when I've never run out of time on logical reasoning before. If you think that the performance is so out of character as to be completely unrepresentative, and it's gonna end up being 15 or 20 points lower than your performan... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
So the litmus test is something maybe along the lines of like, I'm certain that this is going to do me absolutely no favors. This is gonna be something I'm gonna have to explain if I let it become permanent or visible. It's basically like a Pompeii level catastrophe. I was gonna say disaster. Yeah. Yeah, that's a, you ... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
I was gonna say disaster. Yeah. Yeah, that's a, you know, from the LSAT, fortunately there is no such thing as real Pompeii. Ah, you know, I'm encased in ash. But that's totally the idea. We're talking about like a huge, massive hit, a total disaster on test day. | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Ah, you know, I'm encased in ash. But that's totally the idea. We're talking about like a huge, massive hit, a total disaster on test day. Right. Then I'd cancel, but other than that. There's another one that might be a little less immediately obvious. | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Right. Then I'd cancel, but other than that. There's another one that might be a little less immediately obvious. I mean, look, if you get sick during the test, or if you know that there's some sort of distraction that is just unable to be overcome during the test, those are things that you can instantly put a finger o... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
I mean, look, if you get sick during the test, or if you know that there's some sort of distraction that is just unable to be overcome during the test, those are things that you can instantly put a finger on. I mean, you could literally say at 3.14, this happened or whatever. But what about something like a miss bubbli... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Let's say you get to the end of the section, they call time, you look down, and you have just answered question 26 when there's 27 questions in reading comp. I'd be careful in those scenarios. And usually for me, that would not be cause to cancel. It would be cause for me to request hand scoring. There it is. We should... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
It would be cause for me to request hand scoring. There it is. We should talk about that. Yeah, let's talk about that really briefly, because I got that question a whole lot. Me too, dude, I saw it at least 10 times this weekend. It's strange how frequent, stray marks came up a lot, or I've circled numbers on my Scantr... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Yeah, let's talk about that really briefly, because I got that question a whole lot. Me too, dude, I saw it at least 10 times this weekend. It's strange how frequent, stray marks came up a lot, or I've circled numbers on my Scantron, but they're not actual letters. I do that to track problems. Or something like stray m... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
I do that to track problems. Or something like stray marks or anything like that, don't worry about them. The machine typically reads the five-lettered answer choices. And so if you have put a tick mark next to numbers 18 and 19, and it's off to the left of them, that's not gonna cause an issue. Yeah, the search field ... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
And so if you have put a tick mark next to numbers 18 and 19, and it's off to the left of them, that's not gonna cause an issue. Yeah, the search field that it scans is very precise. Yeah, and it's actually more sensitive than you give it credit for. Like, they always tell you, oh, you must use a number two pencil. You... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Like, they always tell you, oh, you must use a number two pencil. You do not have to for the machine to work. Now, you have to according to test regulations, so you need to follow those. But I've worked with Scantron machines before, and you can mark it in pen, and it'll read it. It's just a terrible idea, because if y... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
But I've worked with Scantron machines before, and you can mark it in pen, and it'll read it. It's just a terrible idea, because if you miss mark the answer, then you're not erasing it. So I'm not advocating that you not use pencil. Take a sharpie. Use pencil. Just understand that the machine calibration is actually pr... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Take a sharpie. Use pencil. Just understand that the machine calibration is actually pretty good these days. So if you have made what you think is a miss bubbling mistake, always look for hand scoring. I have seen them change scores due to answers being off kilter five, six points before. Extraordinarily large jumps, b... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
So if you have made what you think is a miss bubbling mistake, always look for hand scoring. I have seen them change scores due to answers being off kilter five, six points before. Extraordinarily large jumps, because, oh, look, I accidentally skipped number 12, and then I got the remaining problems right, but they wer... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
They will look at it and make what they feel is the most appropriate adjudication. And sometimes that's to do something drastic, which is, wow, we just changed your score by a bunch of points. And sometimes it's to do nothing at all. Yeah. So. Yeah, if they can't see a clear pattern that the mistake would produce, then... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Yeah. So. Yeah, if they can't see a clear pattern that the mistake would produce, then they're not gonna necessarily go in and correct what the Scantron feeds back. The Scantron has no awareness of context, or the fact that- Or intent. Or intent, or human behavior in general. But a person looking at it can be like, oka... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
The Scantron has no awareness of context, or the fact that- Or intent. Or intent, or human behavior in general. But a person looking at it can be like, okay, everything here shifted up a line. And clearly these would have been correct answers if the person had just been more careful. Yeah, and of course, if you're appl... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
And clearly these would have been correct answers if the person had just been more careful. Yeah, and of course, if you're applying, and you've been doing pretty well in a section, and then that kind of thing happens, like, hey, I got seven of the first eight right, and then I got one of the remaining right, but if I s... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
And that's what you're paying for when you pay the 100 bucks, which is the current fee for it. Yeah, and I'm glad you brought that up, because I'm sure anyone to this point listening to us talk about hand scoring is like, well, my God, sign me up. Hand scoring me no matter what? Yeah, of course, why would you not? And ... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Yeah, of course, why would you not? And the answers are, as Dave just mentioned, it isn't free. In fact, it's not even terribly cheap. It's 100 bucks just to request it with no guarantee of a beneficial outcome. True, but the other question I got was double bubbling. Somebody was like, I first chose A, and then I don't... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
It's 100 bucks just to request it with no guarantee of a beneficial outcome. True, but the other question I got was double bubbling. Somebody was like, I first chose A, and then I don't think I raced it enough, and then I chose B. On disclosed tests, you get the opportunity to review what has happened. The March LSAT w... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
On disclosed tests, you get the opportunity to review what has happened. The March LSAT was non-disclosed. That means you don't get your test booklet back, you don't get your answer sheet back. You just basically get your score, a percentile, your score band, and the writing sample. So on these non-disclosed tests, you... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
You just basically get your score, a percentile, your score band, and the writing sample. So on these non-disclosed tests, you won't be able to analyze what actually happened. So if you look at your score and you're like, I'm not sure that's really representative, maybe ask for hand scoring, because they will be able t... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
And so it looks like they were racing A, and they're trying to choose B, but our machine for some reason chose A. Machine's pretty good, like I said, and normally it can figure out what's darker, but if there was something anomalous about it, getting it hand scored can change a wrong answer to a right answer in those k... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
You don't have to skip a question, you can put two answers on the same line that were intended for different questions, and everything moves. But you, as I understand hand scoring, and as their website describes it, you have to wait until you get your results before you can request it. So if right now you're thinking l... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Yeah, but at least you know now you have it in your back pocket. It is an option, yeah. And when you see your score, if you feel like, gosh, I'm a couple points lower than I expected, and you feel like there might've been a miss-bubbling or a stray mark issue, well, you have an option to actually resolve that. Yeah, an... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Yeah, and I'd say even on a, I don't want to call it a 1% chance, but even on a relatively slim chance, if that $100 you spend might get you two more points, spend the money. It's worth it. Oh yeah, and then something. But don't cancel unless something terrible happens. If you get a score back you don't like, consider ... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
But don't cancel unless something terrible happens. If you get a score back you don't like, consider the hand scoring option, because again, it can help to adjust things. But for the most part at this point, guys, try to figure out your range and then sit tight. Occupy your time if you've already applied, and this test... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
Occupy your time if you've already applied, and this test is the last thing that schools are waiting on. Occupy your time with something productive for the next three weeks. I won't begin to suggest what that might be. I won't throw suggestions out there. For you, it would be heavy drinking. Ah, it's entirely possible,... | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
I won't throw suggestions out there. For you, it would be heavy drinking. Ah, it's entirely possible, yeah. I would spend way too much money on watches and booze. I don't spend much money on watches, but definitely too much on wine, so. There you go. | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |
I would spend way too much money on watches and booze. I don't spend much money on watches, but definitely too much on wine, so. There you go. So yeah, do as we say, not as we do in this case. Try to have a healthy and productive this next couple of weeks. And as always, we're around online. | Ep. 10 March 2019 LSAT Review and Scale Prediction_segment3.mp3 |

General feedback was pretty good. Scale looks like it's in the middle. Let's hope that produces a lot of high scores on April 19th when scores come out. For sure. Any last thoughts, Sean?

I'm Dave Kalorin in Napa Valley. And this is John Dinning in Los Angeles. John, welcome to the 100th episode. How do you feel about that? If we had ever predicted that we'd get to episode 100 at the beginning of this thing, I'd have called us both crazy. I would have said you're a liar. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
How do you feel about that? If we had ever predicted that we'd get to episode 100 at the beginning of this thing, I'd have called us both crazy. I would have said you're a liar. But here we are. Here we are. The big triple digit. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
But here we are. Here we are. The big triple digit. Yes. And tonight we're going to talk about the state of the LSAT union, which is something we now do annually. So we will be recapping the 2021 LSAT year and then taking a look ahead at 2022 and seeing what's going on, not only in the law school admissions world and t... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Yes. And tonight we're going to talk about the state of the LSAT union, which is something we now do annually. So we will be recapping the 2021 LSAT year and then taking a look ahead at 2022 and seeing what's going on, not only in the law school admissions world and the LSAT world, but also in the PowerScore world. But... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
But before any of that, let's get to what I clearly think is the most important topic of the evening. What are you drinking? Yeah. This is the only thing that's made it to episode 100 for us, I think. Without cocktails, we'd have probably stopped at about episode six. I am going with a bit of a callback, actually. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
This is the only thing that's made it to episode 100 for us, I think. Without cocktails, we'd have probably stopped at about episode six. I am going with a bit of a callback, actually. I think this was the drink I had when we did last year's little retrospective, which is a glass, a very tall glass of Macallan 12 Nice ... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
I think this was the drink I had when we did last year's little retrospective, which is a glass, a very tall glass of Macallan 12 Nice Scotch. A tumbler. Yeah. And this was actually a gift from a student. So it has a certain sentimental value to me. And you've had it for a year. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
And this was actually a gift from a student. So it has a certain sentimental value to me. And you've had it for a year. I'm in shock. Oh, no, this is a more recent student. Multiple students are giving you Macallan. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
I'm in shock. Oh, no, this is a more recent student. Multiple students are giving you Macallan. Yeah. I think this student heard me say something on last year's podcast and tucked it away. And now out there, there's a student thinking, I'll get John a bottle of Macallan. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah. I think this student heard me say something on last year's podcast and tucked it away. And now out there, there's a student thinking, I'll get John a bottle of Macallan. Keep them coming. Yeah. I need to come up with something really expensive and be like, hey, that's what I like to drink. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Keep them coming. Yeah. I need to come up with something really expensive and be like, hey, that's what I like to drink. To be fair, this was a tutoring student of mine who went from 152 to 179 in November. So I think I've earned the Macallan. You've earned a case of Macallan. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
To be fair, this was a tutoring student of mine who went from 152 to 179 in November. So I think I've earned the Macallan. You've earned a case of Macallan. I didn't know about that. But it was a nice gift. It was very thoughtful. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
I didn't know about that. But it was a nice gift. It was very thoughtful. So she and I are both quite happy this holiday season. What? You are. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
So she and I are both quite happy this holiday season. What? You are. Yeah. What are you drinking? I'm actually going to go with the classic New Year's drink, which is champagne. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah. What are you drinking? I'm actually going to go with the classic New Year's drink, which is champagne. I think that kind of goes for episode 100. It goes for New Year's. Obviously I live in wine country, so we don't make champagne here. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
I think that kind of goes for episode 100. It goes for New Year's. Obviously I live in wine country, so we don't make champagne here. We make sparkling wine. Champagne has to come from a region in France, but one of my neighbors is actually French and his family makes champagne. And so this is a bottle of Morlaix Grand... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
We make sparkling wine. Champagne has to come from a region in France, but one of my neighbors is actually French and his family makes champagne. And so this is a bottle of Morlaix Grand Reserve Brut that comes from his family over in France. So it's kind of cool. That sounds good to me. Yeah. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
So it's kind of cool. That sounds good to me. Yeah. He makes great wine. I think we both found our lane here tonight in terms of cocktails. Yeah. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
He makes great wine. I think we both found our lane here tonight in terms of cocktails. Yeah. We're both true to our roots in this particular case. He actually makes great still wine. His red wines are fantastic in my opinion, but his family makes the champagne. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
We're both true to our roots in this particular case. He actually makes great still wine. His red wines are fantastic in my opinion, but his family makes the champagne. So I thought, all right, I've got a bottle of it. Let's go with that tonight. Morlaix. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
So I thought, all right, I've got a bottle of it. Let's go with that tonight. Morlaix. We'll see if we can link it into this and if somebody wants to follow in your footsteps. It's hard to get, unfortunately. But I have chosen the song for tonight. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
We'll see if we can link it into this and if somebody wants to follow in your footsteps. It's hard to get, unfortunately. But I have chosen the song for tonight. You've never even heard this song. I was going to say, speaking of hard to get, this is entirely lost on me. I've been trying hard to work in some excellent K... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
You've never even heard this song. I was going to say, speaking of hard to get, this is entirely lost on me. I've been trying hard to work in some excellent K-pop referencing to this podcast in the musical slate and I've largely been unsuccessful. And I usually would go for female K-pop bands. That's kind of what I rea... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
And I usually would go for female K-pop bands. That's kind of what I really like to listen to the most out of that genre. But there is a song that matches so perfectly with what we're doing, John, that I had to choose it. And the song is 100, obviously 100 episodes, 100. The band is Super M. It is a song that I hear in... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
And the song is 100, obviously 100 episodes, 100. The band is Super M. It is a song that I hear in my household every at least day or two because my wife and daughter like to play it and dance around to it. So I often hear we go 100 around the house. So I thought this was perfect for us. Well, thank you for doing all t... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
So I thought this was perfect for us. Well, thank you for doing all the heavy lifting on the music. I had nothing to offer. Yeah, I mean, I hear a lot of BTS and stuff like that. So this is just right in that genre. This is a daily soundtrack around what happens breakfast, lunch and dinner. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah, I mean, I hear a lot of BTS and stuff like that. So this is just right in that genre. This is a daily soundtrack around what happens breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well, as long as it's not that terrible Mariah Carey Christmas song, I'm fine. That's the song I've been hearing all the time. Yes. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Well, as long as it's not that terrible Mariah Carey Christmas song, I'm fine. That's the song I've been hearing all the time. Yes. In fact, you were just in Nashville with the family. How was that? Loud, loud and sticky and very demanding. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
In fact, you were just in Nashville with the family. How was that? Loud, loud and sticky and very demanding. My sister, my little sister's got a two and a half year old and a four month old. And my God, those kids have got some lungs on them. Yeah. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
My sister, my little sister's got a two and a half year old and a four month old. And my God, those kids have got some lungs on them. Yeah. As they say in the South, bless her heart for being able to handle that. She didn't. That sounds like a nightmare to me. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
As they say in the South, bless her heart for being able to handle that. She didn't. That sounds like a nightmare to me. She got me off the grandkid hook for now. So at least there's that. Yeah. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
She got me off the grandkid hook for now. So at least there's that. Yeah. Well, hopefully she doesn't have a third lined up because three under the age of five is just a nightmare from what I've been able to observe. They say they're done, but you never know. No one's ever really done until they are. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Well, hopefully she doesn't have a third lined up because three under the age of five is just a nightmare from what I've been able to observe. They say they're done, but you never know. No one's ever really done until they are. I'm done. I can tell you that much for sure. Good. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
I'm done. I can tell you that much for sure. Good. And I'm not auspicious. No, let's move into the LSAT world. And let's start it off with a relatively big announcement I've been being asked about repeatedly. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
And I'm not auspicious. No, let's move into the LSAT world. And let's start it off with a relatively big announcement I've been being asked about repeatedly. And that is the 2022 LSAT Bibles. When are they coming? Where are they? | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |

And we're going to put them on sale kind of like as a, you know, it's not a presale gift, bu... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
It is going to be January 1st. We'll make those available on our website and that will be for all the LSAT Bibles. And we're going to put them on sale kind of like as a, you know, it's not a presale gift, but as an opening sale gift.

And that'll be the latest, greatest edition. And maybe a little bit later I'll post some information on some of the updates that we made and so forth. Yeah. People always ask that question. What's changed? Dave's usually pretty good about a comprehensive overview. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
People always ask that question. What's changed? Dave's usually pretty good about a comprehensive overview. Yeah. My time's a little limited, so I probably won't be able to go into a big long blog post about every change like I often try to do, but I'll at least give an update and our staff will know what the update is... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah. My time's a little limited, so I probably won't be able to go into a big long blog post about every change like I often try to do, but I'll at least give an update and our staff will know what the update is as well. Yeah. Well, I know one thing that's occupying some of your time because it's taken up some of mine... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Well, I know one thing that's occupying some of your time because it's taken up some of mine as well, which is we're doing a crystal ball next week on January 4th. So that's next Tuesday night. If you want to come check that out, it's free to all, anyone can sign up. You don't have to be a student of ours to attend, bu... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
You don't have to be a student of ours to attend, but you do have to be a student of ours if you want to check out the recording. And as we've done for the past few, if you want to get access to the recommended problem sets that we'll put together for people. Yes. And I can tell everyone right now that we do have a ver... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
And I can tell everyone right now that we do have a very specific prediction as to which tests we think they're going to reuse. As many of you know, we've done this previously in our predictions and been right. Certainly more often than not, even when we were wrong, I think we were right. I think we've been right three... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
I think we've been right three tests in a row if you count the November makeup. Which of course I do. The one that we weren't right about, I think they actually changed, but we talked about that in a prior podcast, so I won't beat that horse in this particular episode. But yes, you're right, John, that has actually bee... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
But yes, you're right, John, that has actually been taking up quite a bit of time for both of us as we prepare for that, make changes. And I think the problem set changes we're making are actually really useful too, because once again, when we have a really strong feeling about what we think they're going to use, and a... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
So if we thought there was a lot of grouping on the tests that they were intending to use, we would tilt towards more grouping in our problem sets. And as a number of students from the last Dell set told me afterwards, they were ecstatic with how that worked out. So a pretty useful thing in general. And even if it was ... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
And even if it was wrong, the beauty of it is the games that we're selecting are generally useful for many different tests. So you still would get value one way or the other. So hopefully you'll join us there. Agreed. Yeah. Join us there and for some other free webinars that are coming up. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Agreed. Yeah. Join us there and for some other free webinars that are coming up. I think there's one the very next night, in fact, on basic conditional reasoning. So whether you're just starting out or you're just still struggling with conditionality, that's a very, very useful discussion. And then there's one a little... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
I think there's one the very next night, in fact, on basic conditional reasoning. So whether you're just starting out or you're just still struggling with conditionality, that's a very, very useful discussion. And then there's one a little later in January on advanced conditional reasoning building on the back of it. S... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
So yeah, we'll link to our free seminars page. But go check them out. Sign up for all of them, frankly. Yeah. The basic one is on January 5th, the night after the crystal ball. And then the advanced one is on January 18th. | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah. The basic one is on January 5th, the night after the crystal ball. And then the advanced one is on January 18th. So less than two weeks later, gives you kind of like, as you can see, a basic and then advanced look at really one of the biggest concepts on this task, conditional reasoning. The other change that we ... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
So less than two weeks later, gives you kind of like, as you can see, a basic and then advanced look at really one of the biggest concepts on this task, conditional reasoning. The other change that we saw was that LSAC decided they just wanted to extend that February LSAT registration deadline. So they have pushed that... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
So if you're still thinking about the February LSAT, you've got some time still. You've got all the way until after the crystal ball. So you could even sit through that and think to yourself, hmm, does this sound like an exam I want to take? And then turn around and make that decision the next day. Yeah. To your point,... | Ep. 100 State of the LSAT Union - 2021 Recap and 2022 Preview_segment0.mp3 |
