In this episode, Shana dives into the often starry-eyed optimism students have when choosing a law school based on the ranking in a specific specialization. The conversation challenges whether these rankings truly determine success—or whether students need to read between the lines before committing.Guest co-host Yale Law grad Trudel Pare argues to exercise caution if you share the mindset of applicants who chase high-ranking specialization programs without fully considering the fine print. She believes it's time to question ranks and ask the tough questions: Are students being misled by rankings alone, or are they simply not asking the right questions? What does the ranking actually mean for your future prospects?🎙️ Hosted by Shana Ginsburg, Esq., Founder and CEO of Ginsburg Advanced Tutoring 🎵 Music by Taha Ahmed 🎧 Sound editing by The Podcast DoctorsFind LSAT BOSS live class schedules, personalized tutoring, admissions consulting and accommodations support at ginsburgadvancedtutoring.com or email us at hello@ginsburgadvancedtutoring.com🔹 Love the episode?

Not all scholarships are created equal.In this episode, Shana (Founder and CEO, Ginsburg Advanced Tutoring) and Trudel (Yale Law '25) break down conditional scholarships—those tantalizing tuition discounts that aren’t guaranteed to last. If you're relying on one to fund your legal education, you need to know the fine print.🎙️ Understanding the Risk Many law schools offer merit-based scholarships that seem like a golden ticket—until you realize you must maintain a certain GPA or rank in a specific percentile to keep the funding. And here’s the kicker: grading curves in law school are brutal.Even top-performing students in undergrad can struggle when faced with the reality that not everyone can meet the renewal requirements—because the school simply doesn’t allow it. We unpack why this system exists, how law schools benefit from it, and what students should consider before accepting these offers.📌 Strategic Decision-Making If you’re weighing a scholarship offer, consider: ✅ How realistic is it to meet the renewal requirements? ✅ What happens if you lose the scholarship—can you afford tuition without it? ✅ Should you pick a school with lower tuition instead of a risky scholarship?💡 Takeaways Conditional scholarships can be powerful tools or potential traps depending on how they’re structured. We explore real stories from students who have lost their funding and what they wish they had done differently.Hosted by Shana Ginsburg, Founder of Ginsburg Advanced | Cohost: Trudel Pare | Music by Taha Ahmed | Editing by Podcast Doctors | Enroll in LSAT Boss classes for the anything-but-average student!: https://www.ginsburgadvancedtutoring.com/lsat-boss-live-classes Get $100 off a live LSAT BOSS class with code MAYBOSS100

We're back! In Season 4, we're shifting away from the LSAT and to address a crucial gap in the pre-law process: pre-law advising. This season focuses entirely on filling the void left by a lack of pre-law societies and advising at many schools, especially as it relates to students with disabilities.
This premiere episode explores whether there is an ideal major for pre-law students. Our straightforward answer? No. Join us as we speak with our alumni about their own experiences in their pre-law journey.

In this episode, Shana and Trudel continue their Reading Comprehension review with a short but high-impact lesson on attitude and tone questions. Trudel also discusses some of the study skills she has been using while a 1L at Yale Law School, and Shana busts a myth about law school professors and the expectation that professors will teach fundamental concepts during class time. If you're gearing up for your first year of law school, and struggle with executive functioning issues, you won't want to miss this one.

Reading Comprehension passages will be about topics ranging from arts and humanities, economics, psychology, science and the law. Each will have its own argument structure, and each structure supports and argument that builds from one paragraph to the next. So, knowing the structure of the argument will help you to not only identify the overall organization, but also to identify the role or purpose of each paragraph in the passage for role or purpose questions.
Shana and Trudel also talk about what makes a unique essay, and how anybody can write one, even if they don't have a singular outstanding academic or professional achievement.

In this episode, Shana and Trudel tackle inference questions in the Reading Comprehension section. In general, the goal of answering an inference question is to consider the correct answer as a new conclusion that stems from a claim or claims in the passage. Treat the answer choice as a conclusion, and you’ll make your life much easier. A conclusion is supported by and necessarily follows from the premises, which means that everything stated in the passage is potential premises that support the conclusion (inference) contained in the answer choice. If it’s the right inference, then it will logically follow from a claim or claims in the passage itself. Shana & Trudel also bust myths about cramming before the LSAT, and why it's better to aim for consistent "electric" studying rather than aiming for the big cram.

In this season of LSAT Boss, Shana explores the daunting world of Reading Comprehension with a rotating series of special guests who have completed their LSAT Boss journey with her. In this episode, Shana breaks down the five Reading Comprehension fundamentals with María, a recent graduate who scored a 171 on the LSAT. María was initially frightened by reading comprehension, until a daring challenge by a counselor reminded her how capable she truly was, and she spoke up and defended herself. Shana and María also discuss the journey María took before beginning LSAT BOSS, how she adjusted her approach to test taking by pushing off her test date and changing her behavior and mindset, and how she ultimately achieved a blowout 19-point improvement.

In this final Logical Reasoning episode and final episode of Season 2, Shana and cohost Trudel tackle Resolve/Explain questions, and discuss whether what you wear when you study actually matters.
Resolve/explain questions are like riddles with only five possible solutions. Answers will provide an explanation as to how two things that are coexisting or correlating can be explained. Both matters must be addressed and resolved by the resolution you come up with. So a solution must address both elements: A and B
A correct answer will not just resolve an issue with element A.
A correct answer will not just resolve an issue with element B.
A correct answer will resolve the issues with both A and B.

In this episode, Shana and Trudel tackle Parallel the Flaw questions using Ginsburg Advanced's easy-to-learn "MITS" analysis. The two also discuss putting together Ginsburg's first TikTok video series since Covid, and analyze statistics about low visibility among disabled and LGBTQ associates in law firms.
Mnemonic: MITS
The MITS mnemonic is designed to ensure you that you have checked for the different ways that the argument and the answer choice must parallel:
M Modifiers (adjectives, adverbs, prepositional phrases, that/which phrases)
I Intensifiers (degree of likelihood and degree of certainty language from the inference lessons) 7 Abductive reasoning is a form of logical inference which starts with an observation or set of observations then seeks to find the simplest and most likely explanation for the observations. This process yields a plausible conclusion but does not positively verify it. This is different than deductive reasoning, which yields a definite and verifiable conclusion. You will use deductive reasoning in the Logic Games section.
T Transition words [conjunctions (correlative; subordinating; coordinating), as well as transition words that denote cause/effect or illustration]
S Structure (ensuring that roles are in the same place in the reasoning of the argument, and that any logical or conditional sequences go in the same direction and are not reversals (the converse of an implication). Only contrapositives will maintain the same structure.

In this episode, Shana and season 2 cohost Trudel discuss Parallel the Reasoning and Parallel the Flaw Questions. The pair also bust a pesky myth about not discussing events that happened before college in your personal statement, and also discuss why it can be a great idea to take a gap year, or two, or even more.
Your goal for Parallel the Reasoning questions is to first establish the inductive reasoning of the stimulus.
Is it a causal, analogous, or data sampling argument structure?
Is it based on abductive reasoning,7,] requiring you to follow multiple steps in a line of reasoning to reach a probable conclusion?
Or does it establish a general rule, and an exception to that rule?
Answering those questions will allow you to establish how the argument is reasoned.
Then, you’re ready to find the argument’s parallel. Consider that the correct answer choice will be an analogous form of reasoning to the original argument (or stimulus).
Parallel arguments are, in a way, analogous. They rely on the assumption that the two scenarios (the original argument and the correct answer choice) must be similar with respect to their reasoning and argument structure.
Example: Suppose the reasoning of the argument is “making the case for the conclusion of one argument by showing the argument’s resemblance to another, presumably cogent, argument.”
Then the correct answer choice must be similar with respect to that type of reasoning.
An incorrect answer choice will state a different method of reasoning (i.e developing a case or attempting to show that a piece of reasoning is incorrect).

This is the second part of the Flaw lesson. Before listening, it is recommended that you listen to Season 2 Episode 11 first.
In this episode, Shana and Trudel unpack Analogy, Data Sampling, and Sufficient/Necessary Conflation Flaws. They also bust myths about whether motivation is necessary in order to study for the LSAT, and whether getting approved for LSAT accommodations means you will automatically be approved for law school accommodations as well.
Flaw Pt. II Notes:
Remember when we talked about Willy Wonka and the Golden Tickets in Season 1? If you recall, Charlie’s golden ticket to get into the Chocolate Factory was both a necessary and sufficient condition. Why? Because he needed the ticket to enter, however, it was not the only ticket given out—there were five given out. It would be accurate to say that “If Charlie doesn’t lose his golden ticket, then he can enter the Chocolate Factory.” But, it would not be accurate to say “Only if Charlie doesn’t lose his golden ticket will he be able to enter the factory.” Why? Because there are 4 other tickets, and if he’s really lucky, maybe he can find one of the others. Here’s how that would look symbolically:
GT 1 → CF
(Golden Ticket #1) → Get to enter the Chocolate Factory
It would be a flaw or error in the reasoning to simply negate the conditional statement above:
~GT 1 → ~CF
Why is this flawed? Because if Charlie has GT2, GT3, GT4, or GT5, he can still get into the Chocolate Factory.
Thus, a negation of sufficient condition creates a flawed necessary condition, which is not true. You will see an answer choice to reflect this that takes the following form: “...takes a condition that by itself makes an action possible, to also be necessary in order for the action to be possible.”

In this lesson, Shana and Trudel introduce you to LSAT Logical Reasoning Flaw questions, and bust the myth that "The February LSAT is THE HARDEST LSAT". Simply not true.
Flaw Notes:
A flaw is a fault in an argument that impairs the quality of its logical reasoning. In causal arguments, the flaw is found in the causal assumption, and often will reverse the cause and effect or create causation where there isn’t any.
In arguments by analogy, the flaw will illogically relate two groups or ideas whose differences are significant and being ignored.
In data sampling arguments, the flaw will often be found in how the survey was conducted and highlight a human error or a sample that misrepresents a whole.
A flawed causal argument will contain a flaw in the assumption; it will establish causation when there is merely correlation, or, it will establish only one cause when there is clearly more than one cause. Any time you have two things merely present or coexisting in the premise, and then you find a conclusion connecting them through a causal relationship, you will likely have a correlation/causation flaw. The correlation/causation flaw takes on three possible forms:
A. Correlation/Causation Confusion a. Example: If evidence suggests that people who snore have throat damage, a flawed argument might conclude that snoring causes throat damage, although the evidence only suggests a relationship (that snoring and throat damage are both traits of certain individuals). An answer choice might say: “The argument takes for granted that because certain characteristics are present whenever a condition occurs, those characteristics are a cause of that condition.” b. Example: Suppose an argument states that negative news reports cause damage to people’s confidence, which in turn can decrease the willingness of people to spend money
(A → B → C ). Then, it would be a flaw to say that a correlation between B and C couldn’t exist, without B and C being wrapped up in a conditional causal argument. Here, the correct answer choice will open the door to the possibility that B relates to C for reasons other than A, such as “people who have little confidence in the overall economy generally take a pessimistic view concerning their own immediate economic situations.” See Preptest 65 Section 1 #17.
c. Example: Suppose studies show a negative correlation between diet A and disease B, and suppose to conform to diet A you have to eat things within diet A that may also include non-diet-A foods (like a higher-fiber diet that also increases your calcium intake). To conclude that diet A directly causes a change in the incidence of disease B is a flaw. The reason why is because other non-diet-A foods (like high-calcium foods) could have just as easily caused the change in incidence of disease B.

Today's episode is Part II of our Inference lesson. We recommend starting with S2E9 before beginning this episode.
In today's episode, Shana and Trudel return to discuss the complexities of inference questions and go step-by-step through two inference practice questions. They also bust a myth about accommodations for students who suffer from Post Concussion Syndrome, and another myth about applying as early as possible for law school (without first securing a good LSAT score).
Practice Questions:
1. Modest amounts of studying can produce a dramatic improvement in your LSAT score. One should study most days of the week, but one need only do the equivalent of 45 minutes of untimed test questions to obtain studying benefits. More vigorous studying is more effective, but long study sessions are not absolutely necessary.
Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the statements above?
A. Having a long study session most days of the week can produce a dramatic improvement in your LSAT score
B. Doing the equivalent of an hour of untimed test questions two or three days a week generally produces dramatic improvements in LSAT scores.
C. It is possible to obtain at least as great an improvement in an LSAT score from doing the equivalent of 45 minutes of untimed test prep most days of the week as from having lengthier study sessions most days of the week.
D. Aside from studying, there is no way to improve your LSAT score.
E. To obtain a dramatic improvement in one’s LSAT score, one must study vigorously through lengthy study sessions at least occasionally
2. Cheerleading coach: Compared to many other gymnastic sports, cheerleading is highly risky. Failing to communicate with your spotters as a flyer often leads to poor falls, loss of points, or even injuries. Such communication failure is very likely to occur when young cheerleaders try to emulate the high tosses of more experienced flyers.
Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the statements above?
A. Experienced flyers are unlikely to fall, loose style points, or experience injury from communication failures.
B. To reduce the risk of falls and injuries, young cheerleaders should avoid trying to emulate the high tosses of more experienced flyers.
C. Young cheerleaders will not experience falls or have any injuries if they avoid trying to match the high tosses of more experienced flyers.
D. Cheerleading is more risky than other gymnastic sports that do not involve high tosses.
E. Most young cheerleaders fall and experience injuries from trying to emulate the high tosses of more experienced cheerleaders.
