Why You're Failing LSAT Logical Reasoning (And How to Fix It) (Ep.14)

Check out everything HFL is up to!

In this episode, Ben Parker delivers a no-nonsense deep dive into LSAT Logical Reasoning. He explains why Logical Reasoning is two-thirds of your score on the 2025 LSAT and argues that most students fail not because the logic is hard—but because they aren't reading carefully. Ben walks through a fake LSAT-style argument to demonstrate how simple the underlying logic really is, and how test-takers often confuse correlation and causation when they should be attacking assumptions.

He discusses the psychology of LSAT struggle, calling out the passive study habits and feel-good but ineffective strategies pushed by much of the prep industry. Ben stresses that the LSAT is a reading test, first and foremost, and challenges listeners to take their prep seriously—treating every question like it’s a high-stakes decision.

Later in the episode, Ben critiques a popular admissions consulting email line by line, fact-checking and calling out myths around early application timing, optional essays, personal statement themes, resume length, and whether you should disclose where else you’re applying. The section is brutally honest and packed with admissions insight few others are willing to say out loud.

Finally, Ben hops onto Reddit to give raw, unfiltered advice to students navigating LSAT prep, career tradeoffs, and whether to quit a summer job to focus on studying. This is a must-listen for serious LSAT preppers and law school applicants ready to level up.
