In this episode of Status Check with Spivey, Mike, joined by LSAT experts Graeme Blake and Ellen Cassidy, discusses the changes coming to the LSAT this August and the federal class-action lawsuit that LSAC is currently facing over CAS fees.Graeme has been teaching the LSAT for over 15 years and is the founder of LSAT Hacks, and Ellen is the author of The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning and founder of Elemental Prep.The group discusses the specific changes that are being made to the LSAT starting with the August 2026 administration (2:09), whether the changes will result in fewer high scores and a leftward shifting of the LSAT score bell curve (8:26), what you should know about the changes being made to the LSAT test-taking interface (16:48), tips for individually customizing the new interface (25:01), the most difficult part of the modern LSAT (29:06), the questions of whether the Logical Reasoning section has gotten harder since the Logic Games section was removed (27:44) and whether the LSAT is getting harder in general (29:06), hopes for the future of the LSAT (31:52), and a discussion of the federal class-action lawsuit that LSAC is currently facing over CAS fees (38:04)—plus, the LSAT score threshold where you should probably stop retaking (14:30).There have been two highly relevant updates since we recorded this episode:First, the final changes to the new LSAT user interface were completed earlier this month. LSAC expects no further changes to be made this cycle.Second, LSAC's motion to dismiss the federal class-action lawsuit being brought against them in Risner v.

LSAC has updated the LSAT registration process so students now choose their test date and time based on when they signed up. As a result, students who register earlier get priority to preferred testing times. Ben and Nathan advise students that registering when you're ready is still the highest priority, but those who are ready may find an advantage to signing up sooner. Also in this episode:- Whether you need an admissions consultant to get into the top schools- UC Berkeley Law's AI Policy- Advice from students who crushed the LSATUC Berkeley Law AI PolicyStudy with our Free Plan⁠⁠Download our iOS app⁠Watch Episode 561 on YouTubeCheck out all of our “What's the Deal With” segmentsGet caught up with our ⁠Word of the Week⁠⁠ library0:00 LSAC Registration Update11:26 Military Benefits are Expiring.
