Why you need LSAC’s Prep Plus

I tell students all the time that they need to subscribe to LSAC’s LawHub/Prep Plus service. The key to a high score is to do all of your LSAT preparation in the official test environment. Students worry because this site does not have “analytics” and/or they cannot “drill.”

I tell them that analytics are generally bells and whistles and that “drilling” does not work. The way to drill is by taking a lot of official LSAT sections, recording your wrong answers in a spreadsheet, tagging them (you will intuitively figure out the question types by doing this), and then revisiting your wrong answers with fresh eyes a few weeks later.

Did you get a lower score than you expected on the LSAT? A lot of that can be explained by the change in the testing environment. If your brain is used to the Khan Academy website, you’re going to lose some processing ability on the LSAT just because of the format switch to LawHub. If you don’t believe me, try doing a PT in LawHub right now and see whether your score drops. Your brain always reacts to novel stimuli, whether or not you’re aware of it (and you likely aren’t). This reduces the brainpower available to you on test day.

If you’re used to working in LawHub every single day, there are fewer distractions on test day. I’ll write a post soon about why I dislike commercial “drilling” options, and an overview of my absurd (but highly effective) spreadsheet method.

If you’re not subscribed to LawHub already, you should buy a subscription immediately. It’s $99. If you can’t afford that, I have some bad news for you about applying to law school.

If you have a LawHub subscription and you’re ready to get to work to earn a high LSAT score, fill out the form below to send me an email, or schedule a free phone consultation with me here.
