Law School News and LSAT Strategy

One of the more astonishing things about preparing for the LSAT since the test went fully digital is how many online resources act as if it were still delivered as a pen and paper exam. Question explanations and how-tos talk about physically underlining or printing out multiple versions of a PrepTest when the test has been fully digital for five full years! In this article, we're going to talk about how you can get the most out of the 50+ LSAT PrepTests available from lawhub.lsac.org by executing the process known as a blind review for the current, computer-based version of the exam that is comprised solely of Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension sections.

With the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) retiring the Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) section following the June 2024 official LSAT administration, the Reading Comprehension section has gained significance for all law school candidates, since it is now one of only two sections on the test. At the same time, most LSAT preppers have often spent the least amount of time focusing on Reading Comprehension believing that it is the section with the fewest techniques to learn. Unless you are used to reading and highlighting paragraphs digitally that couldn't be further from the truth.

In the wake of COVID-19 standardized testing cancellations worldwide, this week the LSAC announced that the in-person April LSAT has indeed been cancelled. This second consecutive LSAT cancellation has prompted the creation of an alternative LSAT-Flex exam that will be available only to LSAT candidates who had previously registered for either of the now-cancelled March or April exams. All April registrants will be automatically registered for the LSAT-Flex, unless they proactively choose a different LSAT date by April 15. Currently, the next three in-person LSAT exam administrations are scheduled for June 8, July 13, and August 29.
