FAQ
Where are tests 39-59?
I haven’t written them yet. 39-61 is 23 sets of explanations. Each set is about 30,000 words, so the gap is 700,000 words.
In 2011, I wrote explanations for preptests 19-38. Then in 2012, I wrote explanations for preptest 68 onwards. In 2013 I extended this backwards to LSAT preptest 62.
So there’s currently a gap in explanations. I haven’t written anything for 39-61. I hope to do this eventually, starting with 52-61. But I have no timeline for this, as LSAT explanations take quite a while to write.
How often do you release new tests?
I usually release the new LSAT explanations about 1-2 weeks after the test comes out. Older tests don’t follow a set pattern – explanations take a while to write.
What are you working on right now?
I’ve been working on the LSAT mastery seminars.
Next, I’m going to go through tests 79 and 80 and record myself doing them timed without having seen them before. That’s why new explanations are on hold – I need to preserve the fresh material.
Once those videos are done, I’ll be making explantions for 78-80, and returning to a regular posting schedule.
After that, I should have time to proofread my past explanations for 19-28. It’s possible those will be up in 2017. However, I wouldn’t expect them anytime soon. If you really want a copy now, LSAT Blog or Cambridge LSAT has them on sale. I haven’t sold them on my site because I haven’t updated them to my current format and would rather do that first.
52-61 are next on the list after 19-28, but I wouldn’t expect those in 2017 – explanations take a while!

Thank you so much for this!

Hi, when do you usually post new explanations?
I’m taking Sept. one, are you gonna post explanations for PT 78 before the test date?
Really like your explanations :)
FounderGraeme says
Usually a couple weeks after the PT is released. However, this cycle I’ve had a backlog of other work and am behind on explanations. I’m hoping to have 78, 79 and 80 up by the end of January.
Aki says
Hello. Could you tell me how long are the videos included in LSAT Course Beta? I’m taking September LSAT, and I’m wondering if I can finish everything if I start now.
TutorLucas (LSAT Hacks) says
There are about 28 hours of video spread out over 12 lessons, which you can definitely finish in the three weeks before the 24th. Since you’ve already done some prep, you can also choose to focus on only those videos where you require the most additional review, as each lesson page contains a clear description of the video’s content.
You will also have access to the course for eight months by default, so in the event that you need to postpone your test date, you’ll still be able to access the videos and course content.
MemberJerry says
Hello,
Will you be uploading a review on June 2016 PT by any chance?
Thank you for all your hard work and efforts on all of these explanation!
FounderGraeme says
At some point. Had a major pause due to moving apartments + having to organize some backend stuff. I’m going to be working on both June and September shortly.
David says
I’ve already taken the lsat and finished 1L. Was looking up sites to share for a friend who was about to start the process and found this.
I just wanted to say thanks for doing this. You will be helping even the level playing for many people who are talented and want to attend law school but cannot afford the expensive prep courses. Explanations are how I got better at the lsat as well.
Douglas Stratton says
Hey man, how many sessions of tutoring do you recommend to get a good benefit? I perform self-study and would like to utilize 1-2 sessions to help with some holes in my studying. Thank you!
FounderGraeme says
1-2 sessions is probably a good amount for most people. A lot depends on up how well you’re able to identify problem areas up front.
With more typical tutors that you work with multiple times per week, they can really get to know a student over time. But since I just do a small number of sessions, more depends on whether students can self assess what areas they should ask me about. I know about a lot of topics, but lessons are most effective if you’re able to tell me which topics are important in your case.
Nioami says
Thank you for being such an amazing person
FounderGraeme says
Thanks! Glad the explanations are helpful :)
eliot says
Thank you for posting test prep 77, you have very insightful comments.
elliott says
great!thank you so much
Lindsey says
Graeme-I am very confused by question 20 of RC on prep test 72. I chose answer E because it literally says almost the exact same thing in lines 38-41. I get why C is correct but I do not understand why E is wrong? Thanks.
