Episode Details

Ben Parker opens with a rapid-fire LSAT mailbag and a blunt reminder that the LSAT is a skills test, not a knowledge test. If you’re coming from a background like medicine and wondering whether you should “learn content” first, Ben breaks down why the information you need is already on the page and why real progress comes from doing questions, reviewing hard, and tightening your reading.

Next, Ben tackles study schedules and timing for the 2027 law school cycle, including why you should plan for multiple LSAT takes and why spreading study across more days usually accelerates improvement. He also explains why “question type studying” can turn into a security blanket that feels productive but delays the reps that actually move your score.

Then Ben goes in on the “wrong answer journal” trend, why the framing is backwards, and how chasing patterns can waste time without changing what you should do next. The focus stays the same: understand the passage or stimulus better, predict more, and let answers reveal what you missed.
