Far too often I see students saying some variation of: "There are just some questions that are ambiguous and there's not much you can do about it." And that claim comes in multiple formats: "You need outside knowledge," or "There's no consistent framework on the test."

Nonsense

Every single LSAT question has exactly one plausibly correct answer. Either the correct answer is unambiguously right, the incorrect answers are clearly wrong, or (usually) both. Now, if people want to argue that some questions are worded poorly or could be clearer, I get that. There are definitely some that suck.

I recently saw a thread where someone asked how to start zeroing their LR, and the only comment said: "The LSAT isn't consistent, so it's not possible. There isn't a strong internal logic to it…" Sorry, but no.

The LSAT can be frustrating, but I was hitting -0 on about 90% of LR sections at the end of my practice. In five years of 1-on-1 tutoring, I've had multiple students consistently score -0 or -1. What you need to do is sit down and humbly drill into the flaws in your process.

Take an untimed section. Record yourself talking through each question. Then review what you missed or couldn't explain. Check explanations. Ask for feedback. Convert your errors into concrete rules for next time.

That said, identifying the flaws in your own process is one of the hardest parts of LSAT prep — it's the difference between knowing you got a question wrong and understanding why your reasoning broke down. That's exactly what a good tutoring session is built around: pinpointing the specific moment your logic diverged from the correct path. If you've been stuck in the same score range for weeks, a single diagnostic session can surface patterns you'd never catch on your own.

Stop telling yourself you're just getting screwed by the test. You're screwing yourself by not accepting that this test can be crushed if you commit to the work. Go do the damn work — and if you want expert eyes on your process to accelerate the breakthrough, let's talk about what that looks like.
