    Hi Babs! I've been binge-watching your LSAT videos, and i just wanted to thank you SO MUCH for sharing your expertise with us!
    I do have a question for you and I hope you can answer!
    Since you took two gap years to work as a teacher, when you got your recommendation letters from your honors professor, research professor etc., how were they able to remember your performance after the two years? Or was it the case that you essentially prepared all other aspects of your law school application first while in undergrad and saved the recommendation letters to apply 2 years later?
    That was my main question! Out of curiosity as well: How long have you known you wanted to become a lawyer? I find your journey incredibly interesting since, although law schools don't have prerequisites, your undergraduate concentration seems atypical of law school applicants!
    Thanks again for all your advice and such well put-together videos! This is incredibly inspiring.

    • @BanterwithBabs
      @BanterwithBabs  4 года назад +7

      Hi Lucy!
      I was lucky in the sense that my professors remembered me well two years after the fact. I was careful to select professors I completed rigorous academic work with for more than one semester. I also let my professors know (while I was in undergrad) that I was considering applying to law school, so they were aware that I would probably come around in the future to ask them for rec letters! If you're worried that your professors won't remember you after graduation, you can actually ask them to write rec letters ahead of time and ask them to save it for when you apply down the road. :)
      To answer your second question, I wanted to be a lawyer since grade school! I always had a passion for reading, debate, and government. After high school, I was conflicted about what I should major in because I had two divergent careers in mind 1) becoming a lawyer or 2) becoming a vet! I ultimately went with majoring in STEM because I knew that I could always transition to law down the road (because law school doesn't have any prerequisites) but not the other way around (vet school DOES have prerequisites). Looking back, I'm really glad I majored in STEM even though I realized vet school wasn't for me. It exposed me to a flavor of analytical thinking I wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise, and it challenged me to be more efficient in my learning. Now that I'm in law school, I find everything I'm learning to be incredibly fascinating and refreshing because I wasn't exposed to many liberal arts classes previously. I feel that my unconventional path to law school has contributed to a well-rounded education and life experience.
      Hope this helps! Best of luck on your journey to law school!

    Hi, thank you so much for posting this video! I have been studying for the LSAT for several months and am really happy to see you used Khan Academy as well! I need to take a lot more practice exams which is where I was falling behind in and focus more on the Logic Games. If you have any advice on how to improve on the LSAT Logic Games that would be amazing! Also, do you have any advice on how to finish the exam quickly? Obviously it requires reading really fast but I noticed that when taking the first two practice exams I was answering a lot of questions correctly but I was not finishing the sections because of time constraints. I don't know if you check these comments or not but it would be so cool to hear from you. I really admire your ability to keep your videos highly informative and organized. Thanks again for being such a great role model. I hope you're kicking ass at Harvard Law School and if you've already graduated I hope you landed the perfect job of your dreams! Cheers!

    • @BanterwithBabs
      @BanterwithBabs  4 месяца назад

      Hello! I know this response is coming in late, but if you are still on your LSAT journey by the time you read this comment, I hope the advice below can be of use to you.
      First, I believe the logic games are being phased out of the LSAT so you will no longer need to study for those type of problems.
      Second, timing is everything on the LSAT and it was one of the things I struggled the most with in the beginning of my studies. Your reading speed will naturally get faster as you continue to practice, but what ultimately helped me increase my reading speed significantly was highlighting the passages/question prompts as I was reading.
      I think a lot of test takers feel the pressure to commit everything to memory as they read, which takes up a lot of mental capacity and slows you down. Highlighting specific details instead of committing them to memory on the spot allowed me to read at a more natural (faster) pace, and it also comforted me knowing I can always go back to refresh myself on key details instead of relying on what I can recall alone.
      In short, I recommend trying out highlighting to increase your reading speed! You can also use the pen markup feature, but I find that highlighting is faster to reference visually. This advice might seem counterintuitive to some since highlighting itself takes time to do, but overall I have found it to be an enormous time saver.
      I hope this helps!

    Does 7sage allow for drilling in multiple areas in the same week? When I look at the course contents, I see it is broken down by category on the LSAT with little "lock" marks next to it. I did not know if you had to complete all the logic training first in order to get to reading comprehension, etc. Also, did you find the LSAT Prep Plus addition on 7sage to be helpful if you did choose to purchase it? For some reason, I do not see much information on it on the site. Thank you!!

      @BanterwithBabs  4 года назад +2

      Hi Katherine!
      Once you get a 7Sage membership, you can toggle between whichever content area questions you want. The locks mean that you don't have access to the content yet. Depending on which plan you get, some materials will be unlocked and others won't.
      I would 100% recommend LSAT Prep Plus. Without it, you won't have PTs to practice with. It's actually a pretty good deal for all 95+ tests.

    • @BanterwithBabs
      @BanterwithBabs  4 года назад +6

      I am so glad I could help, Maris! Yes, in the middle of my studies I did being to worry that I was running out of material.
      Three tips on how to prevent this:
      1) Use older PTs (60s) before moving on to newer ones (BUT sprinkle in a new one every couple of weeks to get a "realistic" diagnostic score). I used practice tests throughout the full duration of my practice BUT I did save an extremely recent one to practice the week of the test.
      2) There is nothing wrong with drilling super old sections (like from PT 40s/50s) to avoid using up newer material you have scheduled already
      3) It's perfectly fine to redo drills! Practice makes perfect. This definitely applies to logic games. There are some tough logic games I've probably drilled 5+ times!
      I hope this helps, Maris!

      Hello! That is correct -- I scored a 161 before ever diving into LSAT prep materials. Your diagnostic test should be taken "cold" to give yourself a sense of what your baseline testing ability is. In a sense, a diagnostic score can be very comforting because you know your score can only improve from there.

      Hi Franco!
      Congrats on a 167, that's a big deal!
      First, it's okay to take practice tests again for extra practice. For LR, I recommend practicing identifying question types and referencing forums like Manhattan Prep to learn different ways of approaching different question types. Identifying a question type is the first step to getting it right! Check out the "forums" section of my LSAT resources video starting at 7:55 for more info: ruclips.net/video/TCO__QGlTIY/видео.html
      For RC, I recommend you go back and exclusively drill purpose questions. Again, looking at forums can really help when figuring out strategies for these types of questions.
      Hope this helps!

      Hi Suki! I am so glad you have found my videos helpful! The LSAT Prep Plus tests are the same tests as the ones you can buy on Amazon. They are a great way to get accustomed to the digital format too! The only difference is that if you plan on printing out a LSAT Prep Plus exam to write on/blind review on, I think it might be more difficult to do so because each page only contains one question (that’s a LOT of paper to print!). A better alternative is getting LSAT Prep Plus through 7Sage. On 7Sage, they have the prep exams available in a printer friendly format! Hope this helps. :)

      An 8 point improvement in a month and a half is INCREDIBLE! Most people sit at the same score for several months before making improvements. You should be very proud of yourself.
      I completely understand where you coming from when it comes to burnout. If you're looking for a sign, this is it. Take two weeks off from taking practice tests. For the next two weeks, drill for no more than 30 minutes a day. When you take a practice test again, I promise you'll feel refreshed!

      I might make another study video in the future. For now, the best study tip I have is practice makes perfect. A lot of students study by reading the material but waiting until the last minute to take practice tests. Exercising your brain to perform the task it needs to do early on (aka active learning) is more effective than just reviewing material through reading alone (passive learning). Hope this helps!

    Since the LSAT is now administered online (not referring to the corona LSAT, I mean how it is now on computers even in person), would you say it makes a difference to take practice tests in a digital format? I am debating between using a traditional LSAT book. A second question, do you have an opinion on LSATMAX? I have seen them rave about being a wonderful prep software, but other people have told me that the free Kaplan prep is just as effective. Thank you so much!! Your video is taking the stress off of me!

    • @BanterwithBabs
      @BanterwithBabs  4 года назад +1

      Hi Katherine!
      I liked having a hardcopy of my tests because it was easy to go back and annotate them when I was doing blind review. If you get hardcopies of the preptests and take a free digital test on Khan Academy LSAT Prep every couple of weeks, you'll get the best of both worlds! Ultimately, the tradeoff between hardcopy and digital is minimal and it really comes down to if you like to annotate or not. I have links in the description box above to BOTH the digital and hardcopy preptests in case you were wondering where to access them.
      I don't have any personal experience with LSATMAX so I can't speak to it. I found the free Khan Academy LSAT Prep very effective, so I would suggest you try that out first. If you don't like it after trying out, then you can start exploring other options like LSATMAX or 7Sage.
      Hope this helps! And best of luck in your LSAT studies.

I noticed that RC was the most difficult section for you as well. Do you have any specific tips for tackling down the RC section? (especially in terms of gaining consistency)

    • @BanterwithBabs
      @BanterwithBabs  4 года назад +4

      I feel your pain, Won! The biggest thing that helped me with RC was a specific highlighting system. As I read the passage, I would highlight names, dates, and technical jargon so I wouldn't have to commit the minute details to memory as I was trying to grasp the big idea. It also helps to highlight "opinion" statements to keep track of the author's stance on the topic. Having the highlights also helped me refer back quickly to the package as I read the question stems. It also helps to read a LOT of RC passages to get a feel for the general trends of each "type." For example, science passages typically have a different feel than art passages. My specific weakness was art passages, so I focused a lot of my energy on those in succession until I got a hang of them. Hope this helps!

    Hi! Love your videos. I am just really looking for some advice here. I decided I wanted to try to get into law school in June and am just now starting to prepare. My hopes before some life things happened were to study up until the November 2020 LSAT with the goal of getting a 170 and then applying to law schools so I could start Fall 2021. I would love your honest opinion if this is maybe an unrealistic goal/if I am rushing things? I'm 24 and am worried about waiting for another year to apply. If you have any thoughts please share! xx

    • @BanterwithBabs
      @BanterwithBabs  4 года назад +3

      Hi Madeleine! Your ability to reach 170 by November is highly dependant on your diagnostic score. Most top scorers I know spent at least 6 months studying for the LSAT, and I would estimate you'd need a diagnostic score of 165+ right now to reasonably hit 170 by November. In addition, it is my strong recommendation that you submit your application in September (when applications open). T14 law schools fill their seats fairly quickly and this cycle (2024) will be a particularly difficult one because so many admitted law students have deferred to 2024 as a result of COVID (therefore, there are less seats law schools need to fill in 2024). In summary, it's better to submit the score you want early rather than rush yourself to submit a low score late in the game. Finally, age shouldn't be an issue! Plenty of my law school peers are approaching their 30s. Hope this helps and best of luck on your LSAT journey!
