165 to 175: The Last 10 Points on the LSAT
2d ago00:22:38Tap to summarizeDownload your free LSAT cheat sheet here: https://unpluggedprep.com/cheatsheet I scored a 152 my first LSAT. Got to a 175. I've been teaching this test since 2005. If you're prelaw, applying now, or stuck, you're in the right place. 🎯 Free LSAT tutoring lesson https://unpluggedprep.com/start 📚 LSAT Unplugged courses and coaching https://lsatunplugged.com The stuff that got you to 165 stops working. More practice tests, more hours, more explanations, past a certain level, more makes you worse. This is the complete system top scorers use to find the last 10 points: the micro audit that catches points you're losing on questions you got right, the weekly autopsy that kills repeat mistakes for good, the review habit that had me write over 1,000 explanations by hand, and 3 students who broke through from exactly where you're stuck now. I've been coaching the LSAT since 2005, and I scored a 175 myself after a year stuck in the low 150s. Chapters: 00:00 The Gap: what separates a 165 from a 175 01:39 The Micro Audit: points you lose on right answers 06:11 Pattern Drills + the Weekly Data Autopsy 11:59 Whose Explanations Are You Using? 13:46 The Receipts: 3 student case studies 17:38 The Rebuild + Becoming the Operator

What Law School Actually Costs
3d ago00:23:57Tap to summarizeDownload your free LSAT cheat sheet here: https://unpluggedprep.com/cheatsheet I scored a 152 my first LSAT. Got to a 175. I've been teaching this test since 2005. If you're prelaw, applying now, or stuck, you're in the right place. 🎯 Free LSAT tutoring lesson https://unpluggedprep.com/start 📚 LSAT Unplugged courses and coaching https://lsatunplugged.com * The sticker price on a law school website is fiction. Almost nobody pays it, and the people who do are quietly funding everybody who didn't. Law school isn't priced on what it's worth. It's priced on what you can borrow and what your LSAT score does for a school's ranking. This is everything on the money side in 1 place: how merit aid actually works, how to read the 509 report before you apply, the conditional-scholarship trap that claws money back after you enroll, what law school really costs once you count the parts nobody adds up, what the job pays on the other side, and which schools to walk away from even with a full ride on the table. A few LSAT points can be the difference between sticker price and a free ride, between 20 years of payments and starting your career debt-free. Treat the test like the highest-paid work you'll do all year, because it is.
