Episode 35 - LSAT Unplugged Founder: Going From 152 to 175 - Steve Schwartz

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SupportED Learning Podcast, Dr. Joe Sebestyen sits down with Steve Schwartz, Columbia grad, founder of LSAT Unplugged, and host of one of the top-ranked LSAT podcasts in the country, to explain what it actually takes to go from a below-average LSAT score to the top 1%. Steve shares his own story of raising his score from 152 to 175 in a single year, how that experience turned into a 20-year teaching career, and why he never ended up going to law school after all.Dr. Joe Sebestyen and Steve Schwartz discuss what separates students who beat the LSAT from the ones who don't, including why the LSAT is a skills test built on pattern recognition rather than memorization, why 2 to 6 months of focused prep beats cramming every time, and the deconstruction approach he uses to teach students to recognize argument structures on test day. This episode is especially useful for pre-law students preparing for the LSAT, undergraduates considering law school, career changers thinking about a legal career, and parents trying to understand how the law school admissions game actually works. Steve gives clear, practical advice — including the one thing he wishes he could tell his 150-scoring self — for anyone serious about getting into a top law school the right way.🔔 Subscribe for weekly conversations on academic strategy, college prep, and the future of student success.📲 Connect with them: https://www.lsatunplugged.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UnpluggedPrep/videosFree LSAT lesson: unpluggedprep.com/startFree LSAT cheat sheet: unpluggedprep.com/sheet📲 Learn more about us: supportedtutoring.com, @dr_joe_ap_exams Thanks for tuning in to the SupportED Learning Podcast with Dr. Joe.
