Summary

In this week's podcast, we answer three LSAT questions and help a prospective law student decide between multiple admission and scholarship offers. Here's a look at our discussion: Should I be doing same-day blind review when taking LSAT practice tests? And should I blind review Games and Reading Comprehension questions? How much do the LSAT tests vary through the years? Should students practice taking the LSAT with current tests or earlier ones? Should I study Logical Reasoning by question type? Take a listen and let us know what you think. And don't forget to sign up for our email newsletter to learn more about the launch of our upcoming Logic Games book! We'll be looking for people to read the book and write a few reviews. Interested in helping us out? Sign up and we'll be in touch!

1:04.4	of emails I don't get a lot of questions it's just like everybody's sleeping that's
1:09.4	probably not the best idea is it? Best idea to be sleeping? For people who are thinking about the June
1:17.5	L-SAT I would think that this is not the best time to be not doing anything.
