That looks like an illegal opposite, but we're not making an illegal inference. We were actually given two separate conditionals, one of which is the opposite of the other. And when you contrapose both rules, you can start to see that we're dealing with a double-sided arrow. A leads to B, B leads to A. Not B leads to n... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment0.mp3 |
A leads to B, B leads to A. Not B leads to not A, not A leads to not B. So once again, we can clean this up and just think we're going to put double-sided arrows. Or if we prefer, we can write it as an either or. Either both things happen, he wins the lottery and takes a vacation, or we're in the world where neither th... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment0.mp3 |
Or if we prefer, we can write it as an either or. Either both things happen, he wins the lottery and takes a vacation, or we're in the world where neither thing happens. Doesn't win lottery, doesn't take vacation. Okay, so we've familiarized ourself with a lot of the major keywords and even looked at the three or four ... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment0.mp3 |
Okay, so we've familiarized ourself with a lot of the major keywords and even looked at the three or four troublemaker ones that involve a little bit more technique. Let's try to apply this. We're going to give you a cheat sheet up top for now. At some point, you can take off these training wheels, but initially when y... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment0.mp3 |
At some point, you can take off these training wheels, but initially when you work on conditional logic, have a little list handy so that you can reinforce what's the keyword, what does that word tell me to do with this idea? Put it on the left, put it on the right, do an if not, do a negative to positive. Pause the re... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment0.mp3 |
Welcome back. The first one has a keyword when. When is a left side idea. So on the left of the arrow, we put totes, on the right we put Palomas annoyed. If somebody says totes, Palomas annoyed. Contrapositive, if Palomas not annoyed, then nobody said totes. | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment0.mp3 |
So on the left of the arrow, we put totes, on the right we put Palomas annoyed. If somebody says totes, Palomas annoyed. Contrapositive, if Palomas not annoyed, then nobody said totes. Number two, the keyword is implies. Implies signifies a right side idea. It actually, you want to think of it as the arrow. | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment0.mp3 |
Number three the key word is no so we have to remember all right what do I do with no this is about all cowards and it's saying cowards no play volleyball if coward no play volleyball. Contrapositive if you play volleyball you're not a coward. The key word in this one is poop no I'm sorry the key word in this one is th... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
Number five has the keyword unless so we either need to use an if not or a required on the right. If we use if not we're thinking if you not apologize I'm going to quit. If we're thinking about requirements it sounds like I'm saying hey you need to apologize the apology goes on the right. If you want me to not quit the... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
If you want me to not quit then that requires you apologize. Number six has a keyword up here that I didn't include that's part of what conditional logic is all about. Sometimes LSAT surprises you with the word you haven't memorized and you need to think about okay how does this work. We're making a universal about rea... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
We're making a universal about real men so we can put real men as a trigger. We're saying never which is sort of like a no negative translation. If you're a real man then you're not shying away from a yogurt parfait. Whereas if you do shy away from a yogurt parfait you're not a real man. Number seven the keyword is any... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
Whereas if you do shy away from a yogurt parfait you're not a real man. Number seven the keyword is any although this is a trick question you could have construed the keyword as will and said if you're that church I know you will accept true worshippers that would also be correct. Any is a categorical a universal so it... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
If you're not being accepted that guarantees that you're not a true worshipper. Number eight uses the word only. Only and only if are both required ideas that we put on the right. So cool people's going on the right. Using breath strips instead of mints is going on the left. Contrapositive if you're not cool then you'r... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
So cool people's going on the right. Using breath strips instead of mints is going on the left. Contrapositive if you're not cool then you're not using breath strips. Number nine uses without which is one of our if not translations so I would be doing if not tea and snacks. I'm negating a complex idea I got to switch e... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
Number nine uses without which is one of our if not translations so I would be doing if not tea and snacks. I'm negating a complex idea I got to switch everything. If not tea and snacks can't work but I need to distribute to that negative sign if not tea or not snacks then not work. If I don't want to deal with that I'... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
If I don't want to deal with that I'm gonna think through the lens of required. Vanessa can't work without tea and snacks she needs the tea and snacks. Tea and snacks go on the right. Working requires tea and snacks. Number ten uses the word prerequisite which is not on this list but it's similar to requires. It should... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
Working requires tea and snacks. Number ten uses the word prerequisite which is not on this list but it's similar to requires. It should feel like it lends itself to thinking what's the necessary thing what's required. Learning to walk is a prerequisite so learning to walk has to go on the right where required things g... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
Learning to walk is a prerequisite so learning to walk has to go on the right where required things go. Running requires that you've learned to walk. If you haven't learned to walk good luck running. Alright so our job with conditional logic is going to be getting steadily better at seeing these words and knowing effor... | Conditional Logic LSAT Logical Reasoning_segment1.mp3 |
But the cool thing is, Steve and I have actually known each other since 2011, when I bought a study schedule from the LSAT blog and PowerScore Bibles, and so I self-studied for about two and a half months, took the June 2011 LSAT, and really, like, as much as my reason for taking the LSAT was a mistake, as soon as I st... | Ellen's LSAT Story_segment0.mp3 |
It was like, I just knew. Like, this, this was the, the thing that made me feel so challenged in, like, a completely new way that I had never felt before, and so studying was like an absolute dream, but I, at the time, I didn't realize, like, that it's a realistic life path to do the LSAT. Like, when I walked out of th... | Ellen's LSAT Story_segment0.mp3 |
Um, because as soon as, as much as I love doing the LSAT, I love teaching it a lot more. Like, as soon as I started teaching, I was like, this is, like, there is nothing more fun than this. Like, I, I teach on Christmas. I teach on my birthday, because I wanna give myself a birthday present. Like, it is just the, the t... | Ellen's LSAT Story_segment0.mp3 |

And this is Dave Killorn. I'm in Napa Valley today. How is it up there, Dave? It's always awesome here because there's a lot of wine and I like wine.

It's always awesome here because there's a lot of wine and I like wine. Well, speaking of, I feel like the way to start things off for us this evening is to explore some very brief non-LSAT topics, one of which that I know is of mutual interest to us both is a cocktail for the evening. So, Dave, if I can put you on the... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Well, interestingly enough, it's not wine. I got to drink the classic. If it's going to be Episode 1, I got to have a White Russian, which is my most favored drink of all time. There you go. I suppose we're doing Desert Island drinks. That explains my choice, too, which is a very old Macallan, old enough to drink itsel... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
There you go. I suppose we're doing Desert Island drinks. That explains my choice, too, which is a very old Macallan, old enough to drink itself legally. In fact, I'm pretty happy about it. So if you guys hear occasional sips through the mic, that's what we're up to. But that's not the only thing we're up to as we star... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
In fact, I'm pretty happy about it. So if you guys hear occasional sips through the mic, that's what we're up to. But that's not the only thing we're up to as we start out. Dave, I know you want to talk a little bit about a song that's kind of been on your mind for this evening, too. I do, but kind of like as a backgro... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Dave, I know you want to talk a little bit about a song that's kind of been on your mind for this evening, too. I do, but kind of like as a background, one of the things we plan to do is to just put out a song weekly that matches what we're talking about. And so the song for today, which we've linked in the podcast des... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And if you ever get a chance to see them live, I could not recommend it highly enough. They are fantastic live. And the song's called Who Am I?

And as we talk about the LSAT and what's happening with the people over at LSAC this year, I think you'll see how this plays into all of that, because I think they're a little confused as to who they actually are right now. Which is the main thrust of this evening. I can echo Dave's support of The Struts as well, havin... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
In fact, they are objectively fantastic. I can't say that about all Dave's music choices. But in this instance, he's done us all quite a favor. Why do you have to be like that, honestly? Oh, come on, man. Sometimes I'll pick the music and then we won't have a fight. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Why do you have to be like that, honestly? Oh, come on, man. Sometimes I'll pick the music and then we won't have a fight. You're going to start cracking on my music already? Already. Right at the jump. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
You're going to start cracking on my music already? Already. Right at the jump. That sure didn't take long. So let's take a slightly longer view of the 2019 calendar. And I think the place to start is, interestingly enough, with a bit of a retrospective. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
That sure didn't take long. So let's take a slightly longer view of the 2019 calendar. And I think the place to start is, interestingly enough, with a bit of a retrospective.

Let's talk about what's happened through the first month of the year as we lead into what's coming. Well, you know, obviously January is a big year because probably most importantly, you just had an LSAT that got thrown at us this past weekend. So we're going to talk about that and kind of like get into that. But Janua... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
But January really started off with, I think, something interesting. They released their digital LSAT tool. And so if you have not had a chance to actually see this yet, first off, prepare yourself because it does not look like anything from the modern age. All right. I've described it as an Atari pong game. And most o... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
All right. I've described it as an Atari pong game. And most of you probably wouldn't remember what that is. But it was like the very first computer game and it has got the worst graphics of all time. So maybe think about something that has worse than Minecraft graphics. It's just terrible. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
But it was like the very first computer game and it has got the worst graphics of all time. So maybe think about something that has worse than Minecraft graphics. It's just terrible. But it's at familiar.lsac.org. And it shows you what the digital interface will be like. And we're going to talk about the digital interf... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
But it's at familiar.lsac.org. And it shows you what the digital interface will be like. And we're going to talk about the digital interface tonight and the test itself, the July test. So they did that. They also released the availability for the June and July LSAT so you could register for those. That's right. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
So they did that. They also released the availability for the June and July LSAT so you could register for those. That's right. Yeah, you can actually get registered for the next three tests as of this recording. So March, June and July, each of which we're going to talk about individually. I'd love to give LSAC a litt... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah, you can actually get registered for the next three tests as of this recording. So March, June and July, each of which we're going to talk about individually. I'd love to give LSAC a little bit of hip retro credit. But no, I think the software just legitimately sucks. Unintentionally terrible. But if you have a ch... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
But no, I think the software just legitimately sucks. Unintentionally terrible. But if you have a chance to play around with it, I think you'll at least discover the ability to get familiar with what the new digital interface is going to look like. And then we can all judge together. Yeah. Well, you're all going to agr... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And then we can all judge together. Yeah. Well, you're all going to agree with us anyway, because it is objectively awful. Yeah. I don't think there's any... There can be no dispute. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah. I don't think there's any... There can be no dispute. It's not allowable here. But the big thing that happened this month was obviously the January LSAT. So they threw that test down this weekend and it was a pretty interesting weekend, I thought, overall. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
It's not allowable here. But the big thing that happened this month was obviously the January LSAT. So they threw that test down this weekend and it was a pretty interesting weekend, I thought, overall. And most interesting to me is that when you really look at this, the way it's set up is that there are five separate ... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And most interesting to me is that when you really look at this, the way it's set up is that there are five separate types of LSATs that are given. And through those five different LSATs, they actually used four different test forms. So if you're doing the math out there, obviously they reused at least one of those. Bu... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
But if you think about it, there's a Saturday test that's really like the domestic US Canada test, which is what the majority of people took. So we want to talk a little bit about that in a moment. But there was four other tests that also kind of came out at the same time. There were two versions of the international t... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
There were two versions of the international test. There's one that's more European, and then there's another one that's more towards Asia and New Zealand. Australia. And those areas. Yeah. And interestingly enough, they reused tests for that. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And those areas. Yeah. And interestingly enough, they reused tests for that. So like the European test that was given really kind of like on Saturday, they used the December 2016 test that they'd used in Europe. So not the regular 2016 test, but the European 2016 test from December. And then in Asia, they used the Sept... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
So like the European test that was given really kind of like on Saturday, they used the December 2016 test that they'd used in Europe. So not the regular 2016 test, but the European 2016 test from December. And then in Asia, they used the September 2017, again, the European test. So just kind of tracking those kinds of... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
So just kind of tracking those kinds of things gets really kind of difficult. And then you had the Sabbath test on Monday. And for that, they chose the February 2015 LSAT. So there they are floating around, they're throwing that down. And finally, you've got the accommodated test takers who come through. And they're th... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
So there they are floating around, they're throwing that down. And finally, you've got the accommodated test takers who come through. And they're the ones that kind of got like the hodgepodge. They got a little bit of the Saturday test. And then you had some others who actually had the same test as the Sabbath takers, ... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
They got a little bit of the Saturday test. And then you had some others who actually had the same test as the Sabbath takers, the February 15 LSAT.

Of course, any... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
I would imagine in Newtown that it is quite confusing to try to keep track of all of this. Of course, anyone just listening to that even, and I'm sitting here among them, is I'm sure at least on some level scratching their head trying to figure out what happened where. So imagine being the ones who have to coordinate t... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
I envy them not at all. Me neither. But the question is, is why do they reuse all these tests so much? Well, you want to talk about that? Was it a hypothetical or should we explore it? No, I was actually posing that question to you. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Well, you want to talk about that? Was it a hypothetical or should we explore it? No, I was actually posing that question to you. Okay.

And they've tol... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Okay. Well, I can actually answer this very firsthand because I've had a chance to talk to some of the people, the psychometricians, emphasis on psycho, who make these exams. And they've told me exactly how much a new LSAT costs. And it's not cheap. It's about $750,000 a test apparently to design a new LSAT. I think I'... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And it's not cheap. It's about $750,000 a test apparently to design a new LSAT. I think I'm allowed to say that. I think you are. Also inflation, because it used to be $500,000 back in the 90s. Definitely not getting any cheaper. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
I think you are. Also inflation, because it used to be $500,000 back in the 90s. Definitely not getting any cheaper. So with that kind of expense outlay to design a brand new test, especially one that's going to be administered on a huge scale, like full on North American test, they're really tied down a little bit. Yo... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
So with that kind of expense outlay to design a brand new test, especially one that's going to be administered on a huge scale, like full on North American test, they're really tied down a little bit. You start to look around and they just, they can't afford to make five brand new tests every time. So what do they do? ... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
They have to pull them out of the reserves. They do. But why don't they reuse some of these tests more judiciously? Why do they give the Sabbath test takers a completely different exam than the Saturday people? And yet at the same time, they allow the accommodated test takers to have a mixture of the two. Lots of quest... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |

Yeah. Why do people take the test on Monday with accommodations, get the same test as Saturday, which they've heard about, but people taking the test on Monday as Sabbath observers get some brand new test that's different. It's ridiculous. Yeah. Anyway, trying to figure out LSAC is a ridiculous exercise in many cases. ... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah. Anyway, trying to figure out LSAC is a ridiculous exercise in many cases. So I have a love hate relationship with them. I love the tests. I have a lot of questions about some of the things they do. This is certainly one of them, but let's talk about that Saturday test because that's the one that the majority of p... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
I love the tests. I have a lot of questions about some of the things they do. This is certainly one of them, but let's talk about that Saturday test because that's the one that the majority of people took.

And first off, it's a nondisclosed test, which means that all of you who took that exam are not going to see it. They may release it eventually, but usually you're talking about five, 10 years down the road that it comes out. And at that point, I don't think any of you will really care that that test is out. I'll be th... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
I'll be there and I'll be like, I remember this exam from January. But you won't see it, which means you also won't see your answers. You won't see how many you got right or wrong. There's really no way to know exactly what happened. Scoring scale doesn't get released. So you'll never know not only how many you missed,... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
There's really no way to know exactly what happened. Scoring scale doesn't get released. So you'll never know not only how many you missed, but how many you could miss for various results. All that's kept secret. Yeah. You basically get your score, your percentile, a score band, and then incredibly generously, I've alw... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
All that's kept secret. Yeah. You basically get your score, your percentile, a score band, and then incredibly generously, I've always enjoyed this part, they give you a copy of your writing sample. I'm like, that's not the part of the LSAT that I want. I want the actual questions. Oh no, here's my writing sample. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
I'm like, that's not the part of the LSAT that I want. I want the actual questions. Oh no, here's my writing sample. Look, mom, I did a great writing sample. Everyone clamoring for their essay. Yeah. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Look, mom, I did a great writing sample. Everyone clamoring for their essay. Yeah. The question there is, was it a kitchen remodel or was it the new HVAC system that you get to put in there? Have you picked a team yet? Have you chosen a side? | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
The question there is, was it a kitchen remodel or was it the new HVAC system that you get to put in there? Have you picked a team yet? Have you chosen a side? I don't know. I'd really have to see the details of it to know for sure. But I love the fact that people have a very strong opinion about this. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
I don't know. I'd really have to see the details of it to know for sure. But I love the fact that people have a very strong opinion about this. Like I'm team kitchen and I'm team AC, that kind of thing. I think that's pretty cool. But let's talk a little bit about what the actual LSAT questions were on this. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Like I'm team kitchen and I'm team AC, that kind of thing. I think that's pretty cool. But let's talk a little bit about what the actual LSAT questions were on this. And let's start with Logic Games because that's always, I think, the part that people want to start at. And so you had four games that were out there. You... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And let's start with Logic Games because that's always, I think, the part that people want to start at. And so you had four games that were out there. You had the seven computer installations that were thrown out. And I've heard kind of a mix of feedback on this. I've heard some people say that it was not bad. And I've... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And I've heard kind of a mix of feedback on this. I've heard some people say that it was not bad. And I've heard other people say it actually created a sequence that was rather challenging to deal with. The second game was about different colored statues and pillars and ordering them like shortest to tallest. I've hear... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
The second game was about different colored statues and pillars and ordering them like shortest to tallest. I've heard a lot of people complain about this game, that it had some challenges to it. So I think probably that game and as we'll see the fourth game were probably the two that I've heard the most complaints abo... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
The third game was about, it's been called the banking game, but it was like two branches of a company that run the East and the West. And then they had a couple of different departments. Yeah, we have investments, loans, and mortgages. And I don't think that game was easy. I don't know the full scope of the difficulty... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And I don't think that game was easy. I don't know the full scope of the difficulty of it. I've heard complaints, but not as many as say the second or fourth game.

And then the last game was the building with the nine apartments, the luxury modern and traditional going on three floors. So I think the last game in any of these tests always feels more difficult because typically when you get there, you don't have as much time. And so you're getting to the end and you're like, you f... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Even if the game was inherently easier, it would still feel a little bit harder because you're like, I'm out of time. Yeah. So let's be honest, there's always the fatigue factor as well. Nobody goes into the fourth game feeling fresh. Yeah. The first couple of people that I talked to actually had, you know, kind of lik... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Nobody goes into the fourth game feeling fresh. Yeah. The first couple of people that I talked to actually had, you know, kind of like high level scores and a little bit of an instructional background. And their take on this section was it was fair. They didn't think it was as hard. And as the day went on, I started to... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And their take on this section was it was fair. They didn't think it was as hard. And as the day went on, I started to hear more reports that kind of changed my perspective on this. But we'll come back to that. Which we will come to for sure. Yeah. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
But we'll come back to that. Which we will come to for sure. Yeah. So then you had the reading comprehension on this exam. And the thing I will say about it is you didn't have anybody coming out complaining. It was like this was a normal reading comprehension section, which means it wasn't easy, but it also wasn't like... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
So then you had the reading comprehension on this exam. And the thing I will say about it is you didn't have anybody coming out complaining. It was like this was a normal reading comprehension section, which means it wasn't easy, but it also wasn't like Eileen Gray lacquer level of difficulty out there. There's no Kate... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
There's no Kate Chopin kind of situation that people were like, oh, my gosh, that was the hardest passage I've seen in ages. So let's run down at least what the real passages were. So you had a comparative passage that opened up this particular section. And that doesn't happen that often, John. Yeah, I know. In fact, w... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And that doesn't happen that often, John. Yeah, I know. In fact, what is this the, I think the third time since released comparative passages have come out in 2007, right? Yeah, I think there's three on the prior. Three prior, so maybe this is the fourth. This is the fourth one. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah, I think there's three on the prior. Three prior, so maybe this is the fourth. This is the fourth one. And obviously non-disclosed, but that's three out of the 36 that have been released. So it doesn't happen very often. And I think the last time it happened was 2016. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And obviously non-disclosed, but that's three out of the 36 that have been released. So it doesn't happen very often. And I think the last time it happened was 2016. It happened on back to back tests. Well, let me put you on the spot a little bit and get your take on that. What's your feeling on starting with comparati... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
It happened on back to back tests. Well, let me put you on the spot a little bit and get your take on that. What's your feeling on starting with comparative? Is that just another day? Does that make it easier, better, worse? What do you think? | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Is that just another day? Does that make it easier, better, worse? What do you think? I like comparative reading. So for me, starting with it would feel pretty good. I like it because the arguments don't develop as deeply and they're both kind of related to the same type of topic usually. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
I like comparative reading. So for me, starting with it would feel pretty good. I like it because the arguments don't develop as deeply and they're both kind of related to the same type of topic usually. So you can kind of use them to almost bounce that information off the two. And I like the questions, you know, that ... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
So you can kind of use them to almost bounce that information off the two. And I like the questions, you know, that comparative thing, I think that's a big part of doing well on the LSAT. So for me, if somebody said, you're going to have comparative first, my response would be great. Yeah, same. I tell that to my stude... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah, same. I tell that to my students all the time that I think it's actually a gift that they've added this. Instead of one long passage that delves super deep and often ramblingly into various places, you get two people who have to get to the point faster. I like that. I would have to agree with you on that. And of ... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
I like that. I would have to agree with you on that. And of course, the first passage in any of these sections usually isn't the most difficult one. And I can't remember the last time that actually happened. But it's the same thing in games. Usually, you know, I don't think of LSAC as benevolent. | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
And I can't remember the last time that actually happened. But it's the same thing in games. Usually, you know, I don't think of LSAC as benevolent.

But here there's a degree of benevolence where they're like, you guys, we're going to start you off with something reasonable. We'll wait till later to hit you in the head with a baseball bat. Thanks, guys. I can't see you right now, but I suspect you're doing air quotes around benevolence. As you should. But yeah, I m... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
I can't see you right now, but I suspect you're doing air quotes around benevolence. As you should. But yeah, I mean, in the scheme of LSAC generosity, that is definitely high. Yeah. So anyway, this comparative passage was about playwrights in different countries and you're comparing cultures and so forth. So not too b... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
Yeah. So anyway, this comparative passage was about playwrights in different countries and you're comparing cultures and so forth. So not too bad from the sound of it. Nobody really complained about it. It was just like, well, there was this passage and this is what it was. Then you had a passage that's been largely ta... | Ep. 1 January LSAT Recap and 2019 Test Info Discussion_segment0.mp3 |
