  • Highly recommend

    I give Nate and Ben full credit for my law school scholarship. I am now a practicing attorney and I do not need to worry about massive student loans. My wife is looking to go to law school and I told her this podcast should be mandatory for those prepping for the LSAT or thinking about law school.

  • Helped me break into the 170s!!

    I have never been a strong standardized test taker. Listening to this podcast over the last year has given me so much LSAT swagger that I didn’t even know I needed to crush this test. Ben and Nate keep it real but I like their candor. At times they can come across as harsh but after listening to 400+ of these episodes I can confidently say that they want all of their listeners to succeed on the LSAT and in life in general. I love their no-nonsense approach to the test. They break everything down... more

  • If you want to be talked out of law school, this podcast is for you

    There might be some decent advice mixed in with the negativity. However, if you have your mind made up to attend law school you should probably steer clear of this podcast. Also, it should be noted the hosts are NOT attorneys. They attended law school and decided practicing law was not for them.

  • Have helped a lot on my lsat

    Had a diagnostic of around 150, just got a 168 on my last PT after studying with the demon for 3 months.

    While some people dislike their straight forward blunt honesty. For me it’s refreshing.

    I don’t want or need someone to pat me on the back/ hold my hand. I want facts that will help me get into a better position when applying.

    For example, many may not like that they say if your scoring to low to get a scholarship (140s-low 150’s) , law school may not be for you.

    Well the truth is valuable a... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rushing to Failure (Ep. 519)
Q: What should I do if I'm not making progress in my LSAT practice tests?
You need to slow way down and focus on quality over quantity in your study habits; too much testing is leading to burnout without real learning.
Rushing to Failure (Ep. 519)
Q: Should I consider taking a master's degree to boost my GPA for law school applications?
No, it's not worth the cost or time because your GPA already shows that you have sorted your academic issues out with a strong performance in your later years.
Rushing to Failure (Ep. 519)
Q: What are your thoughts on skimming answer choices on the LSAT?
Skimming is good, especially if you found an answer choice that you love, but skipping the remaining answer choices entirely is going too far.
Ignore the Cycle Hype (Ep. 517)
Q: Would it be appropriate and worthwhile to include honors and awards in my application labeled as anticipated or pending?
You can include the one where you've received confirmation; for the one that it's projected, it's better to either not include it or just say anticipated.
Ignore the Cycle Hype (Ep. 517)
Q: Do you still think with that high of a score, let's say I score 170, and a 3.6 GPA, I shouldn't apply this year to go next fall?
If you actually do make it into the 170s on the September test, you're applying early enough that I would be okay with it, but not if you're testing in October.
