Hi, I'm Theo. I scored a 176 on the official LSAT, and my highest practice test score was a 180. I've reviewed thousands of LSAT problems and would be happy to share my expertise with future test-takers. Sort the comments on this post by 'most votes' to see student reviews.

Here are my tips for improving on the LSAT:

  1. Configure your 7Sage preferences so that on blind review, it only recommends the questions you got wrong, skipped, or guessed on. 

  2. Do the blind review after each drill, section, and practice test. It doesn't have to be immediately after, but I do not recommend skipping past it.

  3. If you’re not sure how to approach a Logical Reasoning question, and there are premises and a conclusion in the stimulus, try highlighting them using the highlighter tools. Use one color for the conclusion, and the same second color for all of the premises. When you review the questions after you’ve submitted them, you can click ‘Show Analysis’ to compare your highlights to what the 7Sage tutors think the premises and conclusion are. Ideally, your highlights should match theirs exactly. If there are words or phrases that they have left out of their highlights, you should have left them out, too. 

  4. If a sentence within the stimulus contains the word “should” or a synonym of it, that sentence is very often the conclusion. 

  5. If a sentence within the stimulus states that a group of people are all incorrect about something, that sentence is very often the conclusion. 

  6. For Weaken questions, try negating the stimulus's conclusion, then make up an additional fact that would make the resulting negation true. This fact will often be the correct answer choice for the question.

  7. For the Identify the Conclusion questions, if the stimulus contains a phrase along the lines of “Some people believe dragons are real. However, these people are incorrect”, the correct answer choice will be something like “Dragons are not real”.

  8. For many Most Strongly Supported questions, sometimes you can predict the right answer choice by asking yourself the following: “If the stimulus were a story, what would the moral be?”

  9. For Sufficient Assumption questions in which there is only one premise and one conclusion, you can predict the correct answer by saying: “If [insert the premise here], then [insert the conclusion here]”. The resulting sentence will often bear some resemblance to the correct answer choice. 

I'm still taking on new students, so please reach out if you need help! DM me, or leave a comment, and I'll respond very soon. You can also email me at theodorestrongin@gmail.com.

I look forward to meeting with you!

    Theo helped me go from a diagnostic of somewhere in the 140’s to hitting an official score of 160! He’s incredibly easy to work with and does an excellent job at breaking down questions I didn’t get while encouraging me in different ways on how I could think through the argument myself :) Definitely a 10/10 tutor
