Hey everyone! 
I'm finally at the point in my pre-law journey where I need to tackle the LSAT, and honestly, the "LSAT argumentative writing" section is what's keeping me up at night. I've written dozens of college essays—persuasive pieces, research papers, you name it—but something about this feels completely different. My roommate, who's a year ahead of me, said I shouldn't overthink it, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm missing something fundamental. 
In my practice attempts, I keep falling back into my old habits: flowery introductions, trying to sound clever, sitting on the fence to avoid sounding too biased. But from what I've gathered, the LSAT wants something much more surgical—clear reasoning, direct language, and a definitive stance. Is that accurate?
For those who've already taken it or are deep in prep: How did you retrain your brain to write for this specific format? Did you have to unlearn things from undergrad writing? I'd love to hear about your "aha!" moments or any resources that helped the click finally happen. Feeling a bit lost but determined to figure it out!
