  • 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

Q: Do you think that this is just a case of a lot of people feeling confident after this test, but that confidence being inaccurate?
