LSAT RC Isn’t Hard—Here’s Why You’re Making It Harder (Ep. 26)

In this episode, Ben dives deep into LSAT Reading Comprehension, breaking down why it isn’t about gimmicks or shortcuts—it’s about real understanding. He explains how dense, poorly written passages trip students up and why slowing down, reading actively, and focusing on comprehension will transform your score. Ben also gives actionable tips like using three guiding questions for active reading, identifying the main point as your “North Star,” and resisting the temptation to skim or over-highlight.

Beyond RC strategy, Ben shares insights into mindset and preparation. He stresses that success on the LSAT isn’t about innate brilliance but about perspective, accountability, and consistent practice. Using analogies from sports and his own lacrosse days, he illustrates how you “win in practice, not on game day.” He also warns against lazy shortcuts like chasing thesis statements or reading between the lines—what matters is what the text actually says.

The episode rounds out with a listener email about burnout, where Ben offers practical advice on balancing study time, prioritizing accuracy over speed, and avoiding exhaustion while juggling life commitments. He finishes with a candid critique of common mistakes in law school personal statements—like clichés, resume dumps, or passive trauma narratives—and emphasizes writing essays that show real action and growth.
