Feb 15, 2019 · 27 min20.5: 15 LSAT Retake Strategies in 15 Minutes | Live LSAT Class
15 LSAT Retake Strategies in 15 Minutes with Steve Schwartz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdf94mTcFS4 0:10 15 LSAT Retake Strategies in 15 Minutes 2:54 Identifying your weak areas on the LSAT 4:59 LSAT review process 6:44 What you'll do differently this time 9:01 LSAT retake study schedules 11:35 Digital LSAT 2019 Changes 15:17 Resources for LSAT Retakes 17:53 Live LSAT Q&A 18:01 What to do when you have an low LSAT score below a law school's median 19:31 Retaking LSAT with a 171 21:50 Applying to law school as a senior citizen 23:07 Law School Part-Time Evening Program 23:45 Khan Academy LSAT Prep 25:16 July 2019 LSAT (Digital / Cancel) 15 LSAT Retake Strategies in 15 Minutes #1) Redo PrepTests - even if you've done them all.Done every PrepTest? Redo them. Value is not to diagnose - it's to better understand. #2) Find more PrepTests aside from the numbered ones. Aside from the currently 86 numbered LSAT PrepTests, several are unnumbered. June 07, SuperPrep ABC, C2, Official LSAT PT with explanations, etc. http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/lsat-preptest-list.html #3) Avoid fake practice tests like the plague. If a book doesn't say PT#, date administered, probably not real. #4) ID your LSAT weaknesses - even if the exam's unreleased, doesn't matter. Look at the most recent 3-5 exams, and they'll be the best indication of where you stand. #5) ID your LSAT weaknesses - don't just look at ones you get wrong. also anything you have difficulty with, down to two and guess - getting lucky, still wrong #6) ID your LSAT weaknesses - diagnose where problem is stimulus vs question stem vs answer choices, 1000 LSAT tricks throughout #7) Refine your LSAT review process - avoid LSAT traps #8) Look at what you'll do differently this time. LSAT schedule, LSAT resources, LSAT courses, etc. Not just random free stuff and LSAT forums. #9) LSAT study schedules - if you didn't take the time to learn the basics, start there properly, build foundation first. #10) If you did learn the basics already, ID weak areas, focus on those, and mix in a timed PrepTest or two per week. Don't stress about specifics. Timed sections, questions by type, etc. all good. #11) 1 month until March LSAT - if you've got the time, go for that. Otherwise, 3.5 months until June. Try to be done by June if you can. Digital LSAT starts July. #12) Digital LSAT - July LSAT, September LSAT, etc. What to be aware of. #13) Next level - write your own LSAT questions, answer choices, LSAT Logic games. http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/p/lsat-logic-games-tips.html#games #14) Next level - explaining LSAT problems to a friend #15) Next level - writing your own LSAT explanations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaynXhciDc8&t=0s&list=PLgOHAiSs08EbT6QFXoXgEwuKVouh2Kjm3&index=8 http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/p/lsat-preptest-explanations.html *** Day-By-Day LSAT Retake Schedule http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/daily-lsat-study-schedules-plans-guides.html Retaking LSAT Schedule (regular) http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/retaking-lsat-study-schedule.html Intense Retake LSAT Schedule http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/lsat-retake-study-schedule-plan.html LSAT Courses: http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/p/lsat-course-packages.html LSAT Coaching: http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/p/work-with-me.html LSAT Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/lsat-unplugged/id1450308309?mt=2 LSAT Unplugged YouTube: https://youtube.com/LSATBlog *** LSAT Unplugged Podcast (please rate and review!): https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/lsat-unplugged/id1450308309 LSAT Blog: http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/LSATBlog/?sub_confirmation=1 ***
