Summary
Can you trust your pre-law advisor? Not if you’re an undergraduate student at the University of Kansas. This week Ben and Nathan criticize a school that’s notorious for misleading pre-law students about their law-school prospects. The guys also share simple tactics for ignoring the clock on the LSAT, and they calm a listener who’s frustrated by their progress in Reading Comprehension.
1:28 - Fighting Bad Habits - Ben and Nathan share some tips for regaining your composure when you catch yourself rushing on timed practice. Here’s a simple one: breathe.
7:37 - RC Blues - Listener De’Andre wants to improve faster in Reading Comprehension. Nathan and Ben instruct De’Andre to stop looking for shortcuts and to work on understanding one sentence at a time.
17:24 - What’s the Deal with…? - The guys pass judgment on the University of Kansas School of Law, which uses predatory admissions practices against its own undergraduate students.
1:06:09 - 3+3 Program - An anonymous listener declines some unhelpful guidance from their prelaw advisor.
1:12:22 - Word of the Week - We accept as an axiom that the LSAT makes perfect sense.
