But looking at it by score, it looks different.
Steve SchwartzHOST
1:41
Speaking of which, step two is to ID the evidence.
Steve SchwartzHOST
1:45
These are going to be the facts or premises that LSAC is using to support the conclusion.
Steve SchwartzHOST
1:50
These are the building blocks of the argument.
Steve SchwartzHOST
1:53
Now, step three is to spot the gap.

And I found something in my records this week.
Steve SchwartzHOST
0:39
LSAC tries passages out in the unscored section first, and then two or three years later, they're on an official scored section.
Steve SchwartzHOST
0:47
At least eight of my 12 predicted passages did exactly that.
Steve SchwartzHOST
0:51
And since August, test takers have been reporting the same thing.
Steve SchwartzHOST
2:30
The method and the logical reasoning part apply to you also, and I'll also share with you a November list before your test.
Steve SchwartzHOST
2:37
Now, none of this is a leak.
Steve SchwartzHOST
2:39
I don't have LSAC's internal data.
Steve SchwartzHOST
2:41
Nobody does.

Nathan FoxHOST
34:49
What are you doing? [laughs] It's unfortunate.
Nathan FoxHOST
34:52
It's really unfortunate, but LSAC is not good at teaching the LSAT.
Ben OlsonHOST
34:59
Yeah.
Nathan FoxHOST
35:00
And so, you know, y- poor guy, 'cause started off with this really solid, intuitive, natural understanding of the test-
Nathan FoxHOST
6:16
If you're paying us for an LSAT Demon subscription, you already have LawHub Advantage.
Nathan FoxHOST
6:21
That's a requirement because we are LSAC licensees.
Nathan FoxHOST
6:24
We can't show you their test questions without you having a LawHub Advantage account.
Nathan FoxHOST
6:30
but you should never ever do LSAT prep on law hub.
Steve SchwartzHOST
1:21
Now, people stress about the fact that your other scores still show up on your report.
Steve SchwartzHOST
1:27
And LSAC's own position is that your average is your best predictor.
Steve SchwartzHOST
1:32
But that being said, schools only have incentive to consider the highest because the schools themselves get judged on their medians, which are built from your highest score.
Steve SchwartzHOST
1:41
And so one rough day earlier this month does not define your application.
Steve SchwartzHOST
3:18
They walk into applications more stressed off than if they had just done things right the first time.
Steve SchwartzHOST
3:24
And so while registering now might calm you down, your score might stay the same.
Steve SchwartzHOST
3:29
And LSAC actually tracks what happens on average when it comes to retakes.
Steve SchwartzHOST
3:33
People who retake the LSAT a second time in the same testing year go up about two to three points on average.
Steve SchwartzHOST

If you just got your LSAT score back and it came in lower than you were expecting, you're not the only one.
Steve SchwartzHOST
0:06
A lot of people are wondering today, did LSAC mess up my LSAT score? And the answer is almost certainly not.
Steve SchwartzHOST
0:13
I could tell you why in about 30 seconds.
Steve SchwartzHOST
0:16
Because LSAC publishes how many people paid for a score audit and what those audits found.
Steve SchwartzHOST
0:23
From July 2025 through June 2026, more than 150 people asked LSAC to recheck their score to make sure it was valid, and zero of those audits turned up a scoring error.
Steve SchwartzHOST
0:37
Because in 2026, your answers get scored by a computer, the days of paper LSATs and Scantrons are over, they're then run through multiple verification procedures before anybody sees a number.
Steve SchwartzHOST
0:50
LSAC themselves calls the chance of an error extremely small.
Steve SchwartzHOST
0:55
And with 150 audits with nothing to show for it, it kind of backs that up.
Steve SchwartzHOST
1:07
That is the number that goes into a law school's medians, and the medians are what are considered in the rankings, meaning that in other words, schools typically only care about your best score, giving you reason to retake the LSAT.

They walk into applications more stressed often than if, uh, if they had just done things right the first time.
Steve SchwartzHOST
