Highlights

Are you being driven "nuts" by a score plateau? Does seeing your PT scores make you feel like you're "head-butting a wall?" You're not alone! In tonight's free class from LSAT Demon Cofounder Nathan Fox, students had a chance to vent about their score plateaus and ask questions about how to overcome them.

Nathan began by suggesting that score plateaus might not actually exist—most of the time, students draw conclusions from too few data points. Furthermore, your scores can be an imperfect indicator of your skill on the test. As long as you keep drilling, reviewing thoroughly, and feeling the “clicks” of understanding, you’re making real progress.

Nathan also championed the power of fresh starts. A change to your study approach—like studying in the morning instead of the evening—may bring better results. Nathan also encouraged students to improve their self-talk or else risk reinforcing harmful attitudes.

Students love Nathan!

    Beating up on the LSAT is becoming fun for me. Nate has convinced me that this test is easy for anyone willing to grind at it enough to understand how the test works.

    Nathan is always pointing out things that I don't quickly identify in wrong answer choices which helps with my understanding of the test and staying focused on what the argument said at hand.

  • Annabella C.

    I appreciated Nathan encouraging students to ask questions. While it can be nerve-wracking, I have never regretted asking a clarification question. Also, he is a fantastic teacher and explains things very effectively which I appreciate.

    Nathan's straightforward approach to questions always helps me to realize I'm overthinking things, and to look to the argument/passage for the answers that I need.

  • Eric J.

    Nathan does a great job of breaking down the reasoning behind all questions and answers.

    Don’t be fooled by Nate’s gruff exterior. He’s going to convince you that you can be smarter than this test. And he’s hilarious.

  • Anna D.

    I aspire to be a straightforward lawyer, so I value Nathan's teaching approach.

    Amazing class, it is well put together, and the questions range from simple to hard. Nate helps you understand why your answer was wrong. This is super helpful if you make simple mistakes and want to fix them.

    I still enjoy going to Nathan’s classes as I approach the 2 year mark with the demon. His ruthless, zen approach to LR is what I strive to be like on test day. His methodical approach to understanding RC passages is the ideal, not to mention he displays great engagement with the RC material. His class is a must attend for demon students of all types

    Thank you Nathan! I constantly have your sayings in my head while I am reading, and it makes eliminating answer choices so much easier.

    I always love how straightforward Nathan is - he sees right through the BS of LSAT questions and is helping me to do the same. I have honestly gotten a lot better at LR after implementing his strategies into my studying!

  • Harry S.

    We don't have the privilege of watching MJ play in the modern era of the NBA. But we're fortunate enough to see his equivalent in the LSAT world. Watching the master do what he does best has motivated to me to ignore my low diagnostic, and just keep going.

    Nathan keeps your brain working during class. He forces you to examine your wrong answers and wrong thinking. This is very helpful, I love the straightforward approach.

    Nathan is amazing! I really like how he reminds everyone to breathe and slow down. When I started using Nathan's approach, I've been seeing huge improvements in my accuracy! Lsat demon is probably the best prep course, hands down!
