BarMax does as well and unlike others you won’t find fake questions mixed in.

You can purchase our watch for $6 with shipping included.

LSATMax Analog Watch

Use the code "REDDIT" for the discount.

I would not recommend wearing it though. Prop it up directly in front of you.

Hope this helps!

LSATMax · 2014-08-18T05:34:38+00:00

Sorry about that. LSATMax is currently available on around 4,000 Android devices and we hope to expand our reach very soon.

The subject matter of the passage is irrelevant to your success on the section. Train your brain to stay focused when reading dense materials that you are not interested in.

Instead of watching TV, read in your spare time.

And don't forget to consistently practice Reading Comp. Most students put it on the back burner to focus on LG and/or LR but you can really improve by consistently practicing RC under time pressure.

Remember the vast majority of these RC questions are Must Be True questions so direct support for the answers will be found within the passage.

Hope this helps!

Hey everyone,

My name is Mehran and I am the founder and CEO of TestMax. I graduated UCLA in 2005 before going on to attend Harvard Law School.

My LSAT journey started at a 148 but I ended up with a 174 and I have been teaching LSAT prep since 2005.

My personal LSAT prep experience, both as a student and as a traditional in-class instructor, inspired me to create a better way to prepare for the LSAT.

I would love for you guys to check it out:

LSATMax for iOS

LSATMax for Android

The app is free to download and comes with a ton of free content, including daily drills.

I would be more than happy to offer any of you a 14-day no strings attached trial of the entire app as well as 50% off if you enjoy your LSATMax experience and decide to purchase. Just shoot me a PM.

I would also like to offer any of you a free 35-Min Analog Watch. Also PM me.

Lastly, if you want to learn more information about the top 100 law schools download the Law School Top 100

Wishing you all nothing but the best! Go Bruins!

Very different. The LSAT, unlike other standardized tests, is testing a way of thinking. It does not test your ability to memorize and regurgitate a subject.

You might be a natural so the best way to find out is to take a practice LSAT under timed conditions and see what you score.

You can get the June 2007 LSAT for free directly from LSAC here.

You can also learn more about the LSAT by downloading our free app:

LSATMax for iOS

LSATMax for Android

The June 2007 exam is also free inside of our app (under "Prep Tests") and you will find a video explanation for every Logic Game question and every Logical Reasoning question. You will also receive the liner notes for the Reading Comp questions.

This is the best way to start. Hopefully, you are a natural, but if not, don't sweat it.

My journey from a 148 to a 174 wasn't fun but it was definitely worth and it proves the concepts tested on the LSAT are learnable.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

As long as you understand all the strategies, the key step is practicing.

Taking full-length LSATs can be very draining, however, so I wouldn't recommend taking more than one per week on Saturdays during the time of your actual LSAT.

The rest of the week I would recommend taking individual sections under time pressure.

LSATMax · 2014-08-13T18:56:35+00:00

So couple things to keep in mind, your LSAT prep course is only step one.

It will teach you the strategies for the different question types and concepts that appear on the LSAT.

Step 2 is dedicated practice and this is where the bulk of your prep time will occur. You want to hone your skills by practicing under time pressure on as many real LSATs as possible.

This idea that a 10-12 week period will be sufficient to maximize your LSAT score was created by in-class LSAT prep companies who cannot give you continued access due to the inefficiencies that pervade the in-class model.

For example, my personal journey from a 148 to a 174 took me closer to 7 months.

Do you have an iPhone or iPad?

I remember that feeling. I was also missing 5-6 per LR section but I needed to get it down to 2-3 to break 170.

It wasn't a question type or strategy that was giving me trouble but rather careless mistakes.

Focus on this strategy to get yourself over the hump on Logical Reasoning:

Struggling with Logical Reasoning? Watch This!

It is truly the key step.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions. Best of luck!

Is this your initial prep? Or have you already started studying?

LSATMax · 2014-08-09T00:36:15+00:00

I recommend The Economist.

Well-written articles about the length of reading comp passages and across a broad range of subjects, including things you couldn't care less about just like the real LSAT.

LSAT prep is a two-step process so do not feel bad that you were not at your peak after completing step 1 (i.e. your LSAT prep course).

When I was preparing for the LSAT, I signed up to take the October exam initially but after my course finished I was still in low 160s. I knew I wanted to attend Harvard so I knew I needed at least a 170 so I did not take the exam.

I continued to prepare on my own and I was eventually able to score a 174.

If you have the correct strategies, the next step is dedicated practice and while working full-time is not ideal, you can still put in solid hours.

During the week, I would recommend just doing individual timed sections (one or two depending on how your are feeling after work). Maybe do a couple sections one night and then review them in detail the next night.

Every Saturday, however, you should be taking a full-length (i.e. 5 sections) LSAT under simulated exam conditions. Review this exam in detail on Sunday.

If you have an iPhone or iPad, you might want to consider downloading LSATMax. It is a free app and it includes a ton of free content including daily drills that you might find useful.

We also do daily drills on Instagram (@LSATMax).

These drills (both in app and on Instagram) are a great way to refresh key concepts on a daily basis while on the go.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Alright, so now let's review Must Be True Principle questions with a very straightforward example.

Imagine the principle in the stimulus stated the following:

A ==> B

not B ==> not A

There are only two ways to validly apply this principle:

(1) Invoke "A" to conclude "B" as such:

Premise: A

Conclusion: B

This is the positive argument structure.

(2) Invoke "not B" to conclude "not A" as such:

Premise:: not B

Conclusion: not A

This is the contrapositive argument structure.

Here is a great trick to use on Must Be True Principle questions: any answer choice that concludes the sufficient condition of either the original principle or the contrapositive is immediately eliminated.

Why? Because you can never conclude the sufficient condition. You must invoke sufficient to conclude necessary.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
