Week 1, Series 1: Active reading
Test 138, Passage 1 — Corridos
Highlights
Active reading means engaging with the passage and reading with intention. Ask questions like, “Why does the author think that?” or react with thoughts like, “That reminds me of…” or “Alright, Mr. Author, time to hop off that high horse.” These reactions help personalize and internalize the passage’s meaning. With that deep understanding, predictions come naturally, and picking correct answers feels too easy.
Stefan believes this test rewards those willing to put in consistent and dedicated work. He often describes his LSAT journey as a philosophical experience. The LSAT is honest, and will reveal exactly what you need to improve if you let it. Ultimately, he thinks that giving the LSAT your all will not only set you up to be a top-tier lawyer, but also an extraordinary human being.
LSAT Journey: 142 → 171
