It turns out LSAC lost, or failed to properly record, the July LSAT-Flex score for “a small number” of test-takers. Just imagine it, dear listeners.

Then you get an email weeks later saying that your answers weren’t recorded and there’s no way to give you a score. Your brain might leak out of your damn ears.

A listener writes in to learn more about his accuracy rate in the Demon. It's hovering at about 70% on every section, logical reasoning, reading comprehension, and logic games. Ben and Nathan offer their two cents, saying regardless of your innate talent, the more you deeply engage with questions the more you'll understand the test. And the more you aim for 100% accuracy, the higher your accuracy rate will be. You'll go faster, and your overall score will be higher. Focus and engage with the questions.

Speed. Accuracy. Success. Happiness. How do you strike a balance? If you speed through the LSAT, your accuracy may suffer. If you slow down to improve accuracy but never get better at the test, your score will stagnate. If you rush headfirst into law school, you may end up with a mountain of debt in a career that doesn’t meet expectations. In this episode, Nathan and Ben discuss how to use the time to set yourself up for success on the LSAT and beyond. They answer listener questions about aiming for accuracy, how slow is too slow when approaching LR arguments, and whether or not to take a gap year. They also hear from a budding app developer who made an app for checking law-school-app status, and they critique a listener’s personal statement.
