Hi everyone! The original Insight LSAT Prep Course, launched in 2017, is now outdated. I have released a new series of eight videos that is updated for the modern test and incorporates all that I've learned tutoring since I released the original videos almost a decade ago.


Thank you for all the support over the years. I hope you enjoy the new series.

it is winter in this scenario, that is going to be a hard camping trip lol
thank you so much for all of this! :)

[judezhu]

at first I was for the foreign city option but after reading your essay you fully convinced me that camping is a better idea lmao thank you for the video

I too have a 6/11/2018 test and plan to use this method. Fun side note: For my son's high school composition class, I had him use this same structure for a persuasive essay and he did awesome.

Winter camping sucks! Great video. Thank you.

I just can't thank you enough for this

The print is far too small on a screen of 4. 7 " good topic!

The camping activities are not readily available to then near their home? You can just make that up?

Now if in your essay you didn't address each point you mentioned in the video. How would it be graded?

I am taking the LSAT soon. Issue is that the notice I just got says no scratch paper allowed.

Is it okay to have a paragraph that’s only 1 to 2 sentences for the introduction and conclusion? I thought that a paragraph had to be more sentences than that.

[davidsandvigiii]

Is this how they’re doing the writing portion in 2021?

"Having somebody taking it for you" even today? for real, ? Daaang 2:11

[Priesmal]

Is it acceptable to use some imagination in this? For example, you could claim that the eldest has known allergies so camping may be more problematic.

[brandonmcneal]

Six paragraphs is a little much for something you can accomplish in two
