I don't hear you mention much about "blind reviews" many people recommend them, some even say super crucial. What's your take on blind reviews as a significant part of study?
@@tomtosavage9722 they won’t get rid of it. I think they’ll just make it a little easier, they changed it as of now They took logic games out of it It’s just reading comprehension And logical reasoning
PTs fluctuated between 170-175. When I started my first ever score was 145. Hard work, 4 months dedicated to studying- 180 score. I do believe this guy holds merit and know what he is speaking about.
I work at a law office and I was just on the phone with NSA course guy and let me just tell you that I think that’s the biggest scam ever made if you’re consistent in your studying and genuinely have a logical brain and good deductive reasoning skills and are very analytical. You will do good.
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!)
You got this!!! Just keep your head down and grind. It will come in time. And love that you are making that move - it's never too late to chase a fulfilling career.
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
A big thing I found important is to broaden your vocabulary even as a native english speaker. Thankfully, the practice tests were a good way to just sit back, and google the definition of certain words and scoop up their meaning.
I used your discount code to get the trilogy pack. Taking it in June of 2024. Your videos have been an inspiration. I was starting to get discouraged after taking some practice ones and not doing well. I am going to spend the next few months studying hard.
Well spoken well articulated topics good video I just started my journey going to take it in October let’s see what I get I’m praying for a 170 minimum but it’s good to establish a sense or reality. Thanks for the video.
Future UK law student here! Julian, you are such an inspiration. I am currently 17 years old and intend to begin my preparation for the LSAT, practising whenever I have the opportunity while studying for my A-Levels. Your persona and videos inspire me greatly, and I am committed to becoming a family law barrister in the future! Wish me luck in my University and Law endeavours! I hope you have a lovely day!😄
Will - you are going to crush it!!! Family law is a great practice area. Lot of interesting cases and potential for growth. Wishing you best of luck and let's keep in touch as your journey progresses !
By now I watched several testimonials and I appreciate your input. You did a really good presentation. Smart of you to dress well as it boosts impressions.
Currently in undergrad for PoliSci. I'm hoping to go to law school and then practice in either Taxation or Governmental / Administrative law. Great video!
Thanks!! Julian, I love your videos. I am 43 and thinking of going law school. My interest is to build my career in securities industry. I have seen you posted another video in same direction. what are your thoughts. I am taking exam in January.
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
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?
Thanks super useful, especially on the topic of not getting discouraged. Would you consider doing a video on how to create balance between work and family (esp. in fields like law)? I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
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?
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.
Powerscore bibles < practice question sets for about 1 month. Then for 3 months about 2 hours per day of doing practice sets. Then in the last 2 months 3-4 hours per day of practice questions leading into the exam
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.
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.
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!
Hey, very good video. Just one thing, you said there are around 130 past papers, whenever I try to find any, I'm not able to find them (I could only find like 4). Is there anywhere I can get them for free? Thanks
Can you please share how to get into great law school, how to start preparation? When to start the preparation? What internships do I have to do in my senior year?
Take this with a grain of of salt because I'm old but you look like the guy with the sweater tied across his neck from the 80's. James Spader was perfect at this job.
This is awesome! For LSAT prep, would you recommend getting a pure practice platform like LSAC prep plus or adeptlr if we're able to motivate ourselves to self-study? Subscribing in hopes that you'll release more LSAT prep tips/resources!
Watching this now, I have been practicing with Khan Academy and am hesitant to use other sites, such as 7sages, because of pricing because I'm broke and unemployed lol. But I got a 139 on my first practice test before any practice questions. Anyone have any advice for cheaper studying alternatives to help diversify things?
Paying the $100 or so for access to all the LSAC drill sets and practice tests has been huge for me. You can do tons of practice and then read through powerscore forums for the questions
im late to this video, but i was wondering, should i do this before i apply or is the lsat something the school gives during the semester or whatnot.. like regular testing/quizing
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.
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.
I managed to finagle my way into going through psych. testing at a facility out of curiosity and the neuro-psychologist said my intelligence is around the bottom of the top 25% that day. She showed me the bell curve chart and pointed to the right section in other words. I tried to take a practice LSAT and I wanted to pour my coffee on the keyboard LOL. 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.
The sad part is, I shouldn't have to consider going back to school to learn the law strictly because finding a competent lawyer is damn near impossible. I need to pay for legal knowledge not absorb it myself.
