Will the Online LSAT Survive? Cheating Scandals Explained (Ep. 25)

Explicit

In this episode, Ben unpacks LSAC’s recent announcement suspending the online LSAT in mainland China due to rampant cheating scandals. He explains how organized companies were openly selling proxy test-taking services for thousands of dollars, why that creates long-term risks for students, and what it could mean for the future of online testing. Ben also speculates on whether this move could eventually push the LSAT back to being fully in-person.

From there, the episode turns into a mailbag, answering pressing LSAT questions from students. Topics include whether a 20-point score jump in a month is realistic, whether October or November is the better retake date, and how to handle regrets about not applying for accommodations. He offers direct advice on score preview, rushing applications, and managing study anxiety.
