The Final Four Tips for Those Starting June LSAT Prep
The NCAA tournament has reached its final weekend, and you know what that means: It’s Final Four time.
It’s also time to kick your LSAT prep into high gear if you’re planning on taking the June LSAT. Also, most Blueprint LSAT Prep classes start this weekend. With that in mind, here are your final four tips for successful LSAT study.
Final Four June LSAT Prep Tip #1: Seeding isn’t destiny
This year’s Final Four features Wichita State, who entered the tourney as a 9 seed. That didn’t stop the Shockers (I know, right) from knocking off the No. 1 seed in their region, Gonzaga. (How long will it be before Gonzaga is talked about as a potential No. 1 seed again?) Syracuse and Michigan, two of the other Final Four representatives, entered as No. 4 seeds, and each also knocked off a 1 seed.

Tips to Improve Your LSAT Study Habits (and LSAT Score)
LSAT prep season is getting in full swing. This winter, per usual, was a quiet time in the pre-law world; few people sit for the February LSAT, and there’s a lull of activity in the early months of the year. But springtime has sprung, and people are gearing up for the June LSAT. So what should you do if you’re planning on taking the test in a few months? Well, this may sound obvious, but you should study. You should study frequently, you should study well, you should study regularly. You should study.
Here are some LSAT study tips:
LSAT Study Tip I: Do the work
For those of you taking an LSAT prep course, whether online or in-person, it’s not enough to just do the lessons.

For March Equinox, We Ask: Is Day or Night LSAT Prep Best?
The vernal equinox is upon us! For those of us who’ve forgotten what you learned in middle school Earth Science, that means it’s the first day of spring. It also means that today, and today only, will have equal parts day and night. As we go forward, you June LSAT test-takers will get more and more daylight, but the 12/12 split we get today got us to thinking about studying for the LSAT:
Is it better to prepare for the LSAT during the bright daytime hours, or under the cover of darkness?
Let’s take a look at each one’s case…
LSAT PREP IN THE DAYTIME – A bonus right off the bat with LSAT prep in the daytime is, you never have to be in search of light.

Four New Year’s Resolutions for LSAT Retakers
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? If your New Year’s Eve celebration was anything like mine, the alcohol might have taken care of that for you. Unfortunately, some of you will have to bring one acquaintance to mind in the new year – the LSAT.
With December LSAT scores coming out soon, some of you will enter the next phase of LSAT prep – gearing up for a retake. Others have already made that decision, but you’re waiting until the new year to start the studying over again. Either way, here are some resolutions to make so that you don’t enter the dreaded realm of the LSAT re-retaker.
LSAT Retaker New Year’s Resolution I: Figure out where you went wrong the first time
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting different results.

Giving Thanks to the LSAT (and Our LSAT Prep Students)
In case you’ve had your head in LSAT prep books for so long you haven’t had a chance to look at a calendar, Thanksgiving is Thursday. And this year, there’s plenty to be thankful for.
For those of you who sat for the October LSAT like I did, you can be thankful for having that delightful experience behind you. For the December LSAT test-takers out there, you can be thankful for the fact that it’ll all be over in less than two weeks. And we can all be thankful for the remake of Red Dawn opening this weekend, only in theaters. It truly is a joyous time.
What about us LSAT instructors? Well, we have plenty to be thankful for, too. First and foremost, we’re thankful for the LSAT. We know, we know. How could anyone be thankful for the LSAT’s existence?

Happy International Talk (and Do LSAT Prep) Like a Pirate Day
Ahoy! Grab your grog because today is the most swashbuckling day of the year: It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day. So put a parrot on your shoulder and an eye patch on your face, and check out these helpful LSAT prep tips (translated in pirate talk for this, our most cherished holiday):
PIRATE LSAT PREP TIP I: FOCUS ON THE LSAT TREASURE
Pirates aren’t known for being the cheeriest of people, but they also don’t take the LSAT (it’s hard to fill in Scantron bubbles with hooks for hands). If you go into LSAT test day with the outlook of someone with scurvy, you’re not going to get the LSAT score you want. If you were Long John Silver on the search for some buried booty, you wouldn’t assume your ship’s going to sink. Be optimistic, matey.

Study: LSAT Prep with Blueprint Makes You Smarter
A study in neuroanatomy from UC Berkeley using students from Blueprint LSAT Preparation classes verifies what we at Blueprint LSAT Prep have long suspected: studying for the LSAT makes you smarter*. In fact, reading the word “neuroanatomy” probably just increased your IQ at least incrementally.
The study, which exclusively used Blueprint LSAT Prep students enrolled in our in-class, three-month course of LSAT study as test subjects, found that when compared with a control group not training for the LSAT, Blueprint students exhibited “decreases in radical diffusivity (RD) in white matter connecting frontal cortices, and in mean diffusivity (MD) within frontal and parietal lobe white matter.” Yeah, baby.
Um, what?

5 Olympic Events that are Perfect for LSAT Prep
The Olympics are now in full swing, but you’d be forgiven for not realizing this if you’re currently studying for the LSAT. The LSAT has a tendency to take up all of your waking hours, filling your days with logic games, reading comp passages, and countless logical reasoning problems. We feel your pain. While it’s important to do plenty of LSAT studying, it’s also important to take breaks to prevent your brain from slowly turning to mush. And what better way to take a break than by watching a quick Olympic event? Now that you can watch all the different sports streaming online, you pick and choose among your favorites. Below I’ve put together a list of Olympic events, and when’s a good time to watch them during your LSAT study.
Olympic Event #1 Perfect for LSAT Prep: 50km Racewalking
Purpose: Meaningless Background Noise
How is this even a sport?

What to Do and What Not to Do this Weekend Before the LSAT
Today is Friday. All that separates you from the June LSAT on Monday is a long weekend. It’s ok. Take a deep breath. Everything’s going to be alright. To help get you through the LSAT eve weekend, we’ve got some tips for what to do and what not to do in this final home stretch.
DO get yourself into a routine. The nice thing about the June LSAT is that you can sleep in, but you should still go to bed and wake up every day at the same time from here on out. This will help get you to sleep the night before the LSAT, and will make Monday feel like just another day.
DO NOT go to bed too late or wake up too early. You need to be getting plenty of sleep not only the night before the LSAT, but the nights leading up to it as well.

Passover and the LSAT: Stop Whining. Start Wining
For those of you who are fellow members of the tribe, the beginning of Passover draws nigh. If you’re a gentile, just go with this for about 300 words. Passover is a Jewish holiday meant to commemorate the Exodus, wherein God forced the Pharaoh of Egypt to free the Children of Israel from slavery through the use of plagues (locusts, frogs and the like).
Perhaps the most well-known part of Passover is the seder. What, you ask, does any of this have to do with the LSAT or LSAT prep? The seder, much like the LSAT, is a highly ritualistic and regimented endeavor. Everything must be done in the proper order and certain items are prohibited. After all, you can’t answer questions before you’ve filled out your Scantron sheet, and you can’t have your fourth cup of wine before the recital of the Hallel. You can’t bring a lunchbox into the LSAT and you can’t have leavened bread at a seder.
