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!
Hi, for the LSAT flex, what do you recommend we do about drawing our diagrams? I do find it distracting, having multiple pieces of scratch paper.
Do you feel that you need all the sheets of paper? Even before the flex, our recommendation has been to keep diagrams as minimal as possible to prevent clutter. Don’t feel compelled to use all the sheets just because they’re available to you. However, if you need the space to do local diagrams, you can allocate one page (one side) to a game and then immediately set it aside after finishing the game.
Hi Graham,
Do you know when LSAT 51 will be released? Thanks for the support.
We’re working on releasing more explanations in the future. Stay tuned!
thanks so much for all your work!! it has really helped me study and i appreciate it so much! : )
Hi, are all the available LSAT explanations free on the site? Is there a place to buy more that Graeme hasn’t published? Any update on the upcoming explanations? They are the best by far.
Yup, everything is here. I’ve got 82 almost done, but it may be a while before things get going. They take a LOT of time to write, and I’m currently working through a backlog on some other projects. Hope to get back to it soon.
Your explanations are SO SO helpful I can’t thank you enough for taking your time to do this, it has helped me approach questions better and most importantly, has helped me understand why the wrong answers are wrong. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Hi Graeme, thank you so much for all these explanations they have been so helpful! I was wondering if you have the 82 explanations? Just took that test and am looking for your guidance on a few questions.
Hello! We’re still working on PT82 explanations, they’ll be released shortly!
Ok great, thank you!
Hi,
Thank you for the great explanations. Since the LSAT is now digital, do you have any advice for remaining fast on AR? The great tip about diagramming your work next to the question is no longer an option for the actual exam. I am so worried about my timing, and there are not many digital practice exams available.
Amy
I just write the question number on scrap paper + ABCDE. It takes only a couple seconds to do, and then I do the diagram + cross off answers there. I only use the digital test to mark the final answer.
These explanations have honestly been a huge life saver. I am taking the June LSAT-Flex test in just about 2 weeks and the explanations for these prep tests have been super helpful especially since I have spent so much money already and I review my work for free! Thank you!
Thanks for wonderful specific explanation:) where is explanation for pt20?
Unfortunately it’s not on my list of explanations to do next, as it’s rather old. I do have an unproofread copy of it I may publish one day, but for now I’m working on the tests in the 80s.
Hi,
Any updates on explanations for preptests 52-61? Please please please post some :(
I have 60 and 61 up now. Working on the new explanations now. Had been delayed a bit due to an RSI issue but am getting back into it.
Hi,
