Score improvement depends on your starting point and study consistency. Students who engage actively with practice materials and implement feedback typically see 5-15 point increases, though some see more. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's logic games speed, reading comprehension accuracy, or logical reasoning patterns—and targeting those systematically throughout the 10 weeks.

Logic Games require a different skill set than the other LSAT sections—they demand visual-spatial reasoning and rapid pattern recognition under time pressure. A structured 10-week class teaches you to diagram efficiently, recognize game types quickly, and build speed through repetition. Many students find that with proper strategy and consistent practice, games transform from their weakest section into a confidence builder.

Most effective 10-week programs include 8-12 full-length practice tests spread throughout the course, with increasing frequency as test day approaches. Early tests help identify weak areas; mid-course tests let you track strategy improvements; final tests simulate actual test conditions. Between full tests, you'll also complete targeted section drills to build speed and accuracy on specific question types.

Timing is one of the biggest challenges because the LSAT gives you about 1.5 minutes per question. A 10-week class teaches you to prioritize high-confidence questions first, develop section-specific pacing strategies, and recognize when to move on versus spend extra time. Practice tests help you internalize these rhythms so timing feels natural on test day rather than stressful.

Reading Comprehension requires active engagement with dense passages—you need to identify the author's main point, argument structure, and tone while tracking details. Effective prep teaches you to read strategically rather than passively, annotate efficiently, and answer questions based on what the passage actually says, not what you think it means. This section rewards careful practice and reflection on why you missed questions.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format or fear of time pressure. A 10-week class reduces anxiety by building genuine competence through repeated exposure to real LSAT questions and full-length tests under timed conditions. Knowing what to expect, having proven strategies, and tracking your progress week-to-week builds confidence so you feel prepared rather than panicked on test day.
