Demystifying LSAT Prep with Cindy Miao
The LSAT is known to be challenging, and much of its difficulty lies in its multiple question types requiring different skill sets. Which skills should you focus on while preparing for the LSAT, and which strategies will help you see your best results?
A New Approach to LSAT Prep: Revolutionizing the Student Experience
In this thoughtful episode of Success Unlocked, I’m grateful to have the opportunity to sit down with Cindy Miao, one of our exceptional Apply Yourself LSAT coaches! Cindy has held numerous teaching roles since her undergrad and is passionate about helping others unlock their full potential.
Press play to discover how Cindy’s academic background gave her unique insight into highly effective LSAT preparation, and how she has integrated these valuable lessons into her coaching approach.
We explore:
- The major reason why Cindy’s scores improved as she was preparing for the test — and how this has influenced her coaching strategy
- The role of formal logic in the LSAT and why so many test prep companies miss the mark when preparing their students for the exam
- Why successful LSAT prep can be surprisingly unintuitive (and the score-boosting skills that Cindy teaches her students)
- Cindy’s softer, human-centred approach to LSAT coaching — and why it works so well!
