www.acethelsat.com Mike Barrett explains how the LSAT is like a helicopter–although piloting one seems very complex if you look at it without knowing how it works, everything it does can be broken down into a few basic movements. Similarly, because the LSAT has only a limited amount of ‘tricks’ it can play, it becomes very simple once you know how it works. Most LSAT prep options get this wrong and make the test seem much more complicated than it actually is.
