Reading Comprehension
Test 146, Passage 1 — Jury nullification
Highlights
When you become an expert on the passage, you gain the power to predict what the author is going to say next. In today’s class, Josh demonstrates his method for Reading Comprehension and explains how reading slowly allows him to solve questions faster. The 80/20 rule guides him in this, where 80% of his time on a passage is devoted to reading, and 20% to answering questions. This approach is what gives him LSAT swagger and, as he puts it, “Nothing is more swaggy than eliminating an answer choice after two words.”

Josh began with a 151 but changed his outlook by seeing the LSAT as part of his law school journey, not an obstacle. Once he enjoyed studying, his scores soared. Now he teaches to help others feel the same.
LSAT Journey: 151 → 174

Josh is a phenomenal teacher. His teaching style leaves you feeling more confident in your ability by providing articulate feedback after pushing out of your comfort zone.Mya R.
I had an amazing experience with John as my LSAT instructor! His early morning classes are perfect for staying sharp, and I especially appreciated how he pushed us to interact and predict answers before diving into explanations. It really helped deepen my understanding and skill of predicting where the passage is going and the answer choice. I loved the class and feel much more confident about the test. Highly recommend!Illeana M.
