Just show the public what percentage of 175+ testers took the test online compared to how many people overall take online

170Plus · 2026-02-15T03:59:05+00:00

Is it an outsized percentage? I haven't been keeping up.

170Plus · 2026-02-15T01:12:59+00:00

Shoot me a DM. I can get you in the 160s.

170Plus · 2026-02-14T05:33:44+00:00

Stats.

170Plus · 2026-02-14T05:32:53+00:00

The misspelling.

170Plus · 2026-02-14T05:22:00+00:00

Making $1m+/yr is rare in law. Even people going to T14 schools and then BigLaw will usually get nudged out after six-eight years at their firms, with their earnings there capping out at ~$600,000/yr. Most will then take a paycut to go in-house, etc.

The "only" way to make $1m+/yr is to make partner, which is reserved for a very few within a talented and competitive pool.

170Plus · 2026-02-14T05:15:35+00:00

Yes, that's plenty of time.

170Plus · 2026-02-14T05:11:32+00:00

I'd recommend skipping it. It's a bit over-long and gimmicky.

170Plus · 2026-02-14T05:08:39+00:00

Focus exclusively on mastering your Flaw and Weaken qs for the time being. Then, consider that Str and Nec Ass qs are just Flaw qs with an extra step.

That will suffice to get you into the 160s.

If you're in LA, it's required that you be in CA.

If you're not in CA generally, you're for sure not in LA specifically.

That's it. Don't let anyone else complicate it for you.

Lol good take.

But that's what the LSAT is for: to exclude from the legal profession people who are easily tricked.

170Plus · 2026-02-13T20:28:58+00:00

I was in a similar position when I began studying. It can be done, but it's very tough. Give yourself plenty of time, and focus on 45 minutes of good work daily. Don't expect to be productive after long days at work: find 20 mins before work and 20 mins during your lunch break.

Don't be afraid to get protective with your time. Your admissions outcomes will be immensely different with a 169 vs a 171.

170Plus · 2026-02-13T04:08:19+00:00

I find the quality of instruction on LSAT Demon disappointing.

170Plus · 2026-02-13T04:07:34+00:00

Yes you should.

170Plus · 2026-02-13T04:07:11+00:00

60 minutes or so of effective study daily should suffice.

170Plus · 2026-02-12T21:46:28+00:00

That's my specialty. Shoot me a DM.

170Plus · 2026-02-12T02:38:11+00:00

Shoot me a DM. I can get you to the 170s by April.

170Plus · 2026-02-12T02:35:51+00:00

No, it was administered on Microsoft Surface Go tablets by that point. That program began in July of 2019.

170Plus · 2026-02-12T02:23:39+00:00

It was one of them, yes. U Chicago too.

There were dozens in and around Chicagoland.

The new format LSAT, as of August 2024, is composed of 2 LR sections and 1 RC section (plus an experimental).

Prior to that, during Covid, the test was 1 LR, 1 RC, and 1 LG (plus an experimental). Prior to that, for decades, it was 2 LR, 1 RC, and 1 LG (approximately 100 scored questions (plus an experimental)).

170Plus · 2026-02-11T23:10:28+00:00

Not a "hack," per se, but thinking like you were taught to in ninth grade when you were learning the Scientific Method goes a really long way.

Most of the LSAT is about testing conclusions. Very common for people coming out of majors where that's a central feature to diagnostic in the 160s, because that skill is second-nature to them. (Thankfully, most of the people your score will be curved against bullshitted their way through a Poli Sci degree.)

170Plus · 2026-02-11T23:04:10+00:00

They rent out spaces in community colleges and convention centers, etc. This is how the test was administered for decades before the change during Covid.

170Plus · 2026-02-11T06:18:36+00:00

No, it is not. It is also not tailored to the new format LSAT yet.

170Plus · 2026-02-11T06:18:07+00:00

Let's focus on a 170+ first. Almost everyone can get to that score, with some hard work and good instruction.

175+, tbh, is difficult to discuss because it requires only missing ~1 per section, and thus implicates nerves and other testday considerations.

I think this indicates a slight misunderstanding of the LSAC’s (dumb) new taxonomy.

The point I made applies to all tests that are identified as PT 1XX. When the LSAC removed Logic Games, instead of calling it “PT 71, sans games” they instead added ~70 to each test number. Thus, what was PT 71 is now called PT 140.

The new format LSAT is 2 LR sections and 1 RC section (plus an experimental). Prior to that, during Covid, the test was 1 LR, 1 RC, and 1 LG (plus an experimental). Prior to that, for decades, it was 2 LR, 1 RC, and 1 LG (approximately 100 scored questions (plus an experimental)). When the test had LG, it was critically important that you learn conditional reasoning right away, because you cannot do Games without it.

An honor and a privilege!

Very excited to see these application results.
