<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.heyfuturelawyer.com/">Get the Free HeyFutureLawyer LSAT Course</a></p><p>In this episode, Ben Parker answers listener questions about LSAT prep strategy, timing, and mindset. He starts with advice for a student deciding whether to take the April LSAT, explaining how wide score ranges impact your decision and why retaking the test multiple times can dramatically boost your chances of reaching your goal.</p><p>Ben dives into the pros and cons of keeping a wrong answer journal. He explains why journaling isn't magic—but reviewing LSAT mistakes thoroughly is essential. He warns against getting lost in pattern-hunting and analytics instead of just doing the real work of understanding why mistakes happen.</p><p>Later, Ben talks about when you should schedule your LSAT based on your readiness, not arbitrary deadlines. He stresses that preparing properly first—and only registering once you're scoring well—is key to getting the best outcomes, including scholarships.</p><p>Finally, Ben shares a blunt but important perspective on how LSAT scores correlate with legal ability and why half-hearted LSAT prep can cost students serious money and opportunities. He wraps the episode by introducing a bonus segment: a full reading comprehension passage walkthrough with Madeline Jesson.</p>

<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.heyfuturelawyer.com/">Get the Free HeyFutureLawyer LSAT Course</a></p><p>In this episode, Ben Parker welcomes back LSAT tutor Madeline Jesson—Kentucky mom of two and June 2020 LSAT taker—who’s gearing up for law school this fall. They also explain why a planned “Harvard admit” interview was pulled to protect confidentiality around U.S. Attorney’s Office policies. It’s a reminder that even behind-the‑scenes logistics can shape the content you hear.</p><p>Next, they dive into whether you should sit for the June LSAT. With LSAC’s no‑refund policy, registering only makes sense if you’re within about five points of your target on full, timed practice tests. They weigh the psychological “safety‑net” of an early score against added stress, cost, and the benefits of an extra two months of prep before an August test date.</p><p>Ben and Madeline then score each of “7 Tips to Raise Your LSAT Score” from a popular online list. They praise advice that emphasizes accuracy and incremental gains (“Slow down…,” “Slow and steady…”) while calling out impractical or filler suggestions like “Read out loud…” and vague motivational pep talks. Their no‑nonsense breakdown helps you prioritize actionable strategies over buzzwords.</p><p>Finally, they workshop a live personal‑statement draft by tightening the opening vignette and focusing on two or three pivotal experiences—think balancing Division‑I athletics with a law‑firm internship. They stress showing—not just stating—your resilience and specific legal interests, so admissions committees see concrete evidence of your “why law” motivation.</p><p>Key takeaways: Base your LSAT registration on full‑length practice-test performance, not just calendar pressure. Build scores by drilling wrong answers, seeking targeted help, and tracking trends across multiple PTs. When crafting personal statements, lead with a focused story, weave in concrete legal experience, and clearly articulate your law‑school goals.</p>

<p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.heyfuturelawyer.com/">Get the Free HeyFutureLawyer LSAT Course</a></p><p>In this episode, Ben interviews Shireen Salam, a future Harvard Law School student whose path to admission is both inspiring and grounded in real-world experience. Shireen reflects on her time as a legal assistant at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Michigan, where she worked on a wide variety of criminal cases—from narcotics to immigration—and how that exposure solidified her decision to pursue law. She speaks candidly about the evolving priorities in federal prosecution and the emotional weight of handling cases she sometimes disagrees with.</p><p>The conversation shifts into LSAT prep and application strategy, as Shireen shares how she studied for a year while juggling multiple jobs. She explains what finally worked after early struggles with motivation, and how switching to a self-directed approach helped her break through. Her story is a testament to persistence—grinding through difficult months led to a high score and eventual admission to the most prestigious law school in the country.</p><p>Shireen also opens up about her personal statement process, early application strategy, and the realities of admissions timelines. She discusses how she built her “brand” as an applicant, the importance of humility, and why Reddit is often more harmful than helpful. Whether you're aiming for Harvard or simply trying to do your best on the LSAT, Shireen’s insights are invaluable for anyone navigating the law school journey.</p>
