This isn’t strictly true. My blind #LSAT score was a 169, which is like 92/93 percentile, and I only ever scored as high as a 172, but that’s a very cool, tough test with a VERY small pool.

In all other instances, though 💁‍♀️

My name is still on the wall at #TWHS for perfect #SAT scores.

Hey #LSAT students! Another real world flaw just dropped, this time by a law professor. He sets up the strawman with a “just asking questions” and then begs the question through the rest of the argument.

Hey #LSAT students! Here’s an example of a circular reasoning flaw IRL! Congress must solve this because people are saying it’s a problem. Why are people saying it’s a problem? Because Congress critters are talking about it and telling them it is. It’s classic Begging the Question!

Hey #LSAT students! Here’s an easy correlation-causation flaw for you in real life! (Enjoy the brief caveat acknowledging the possibility of reverse causation, which is the point of the flaw…)

“Between 2004 and 2021, 72% of all election prosecutions undertaken by the Texas Attorney General involved mail ballot fraud.”

Hey #LSAT and law students! See the flaw in this reasoning? (What if there were 100 total prosecutions?) I’ll say this - my students reason better than this Judge did.

I’m thinking of writing a piece about Canada’s need to decouple itself from American #legal education bc so many #US lawmakers are failing to do their jobs right now. How did a system meant to turn out leaders end up turning out minions? Their approach is wrong. The #LSAT should be trashed. #cdnpoli

Alexis Ohanian walked out of the LSAT 20 minutes in, went to a Waffle House, and decided he was ‘gonna invent a career.’ He founded Reddit Reddit, now worth more than $40 billion, would have never happened without Alexis Ohanian ditching law school in favor of entrepreneurship.

One of the biggest LSAT mistakes: reading for “the gist.” That works for novels—not the LSAT. To score high, focus on the core task of the question stem. If you don’t know exactly what’s being asked, you’re just guessing. #LSAT #LSATPrep #StudyTips

I don't talk about it a ton bc they fired me (for cause, & I deserved it), but I was a #ThePrincetonReview teacher-trainer-R&D jack-of-all-trades who taught the SAT, ACT, LSAT, GMAT, GRE & I had perfect scores on a lot of those (not the #LSAT, though! 176 highest I ever got on that)

In a change announced only after the administration of the first January LSATs, LSAC has clarified that Reading Comprehension will not always include comparative passages: students may see them, but they may only see single passages. Shame on LSAC. #LSAT #ForewarnedIsForearmed
