A comprehensive 10-week LSAT prep program covers all three sections: Logic Games (analytical reasoning), Logical Reasoning, and Reading Comprehension. The curriculum typically includes:

• Foundational concepts and question type breakdowns in weeks 1-3
• Advanced strategy and timing optimization in weeks 4-7
• Full-length practice tests with detailed reviews in weeks 8-10

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who customize this structure to your needs—if logic games are your weak spot, you'll spend more time there; if reading comprehension is solid, you can focus on other areas. This personalized approach ensures your prep time is spent on what actually moves your score.

Logic games are unique to the LSAT and require both conceptual mastery and timed practice. The challenge is that many students either rush through diagrams (creating errors) or spend too long on setup (running out of time). Expert tutors work with you to find the right balance by teaching efficient diagramming techniques and identifying which game types are your slowest.

The strategy is drilling under timed conditions with detailed feedback on your process, not just your answers. Over 10 weeks, you'll develop the muscle memory to set up games quickly while maintaining accuracy, which is what separates good logic games sections from great ones.

LSAT reading comprehension isn't about reading speed—it's about reading with purpose. The MCAT tests your ability to identify the author's main idea, tone, and structure, then answer questions based on what you actually understood. Many students struggle because they try to remember details instead of focusing on the big picture.

Expert tutors teach you to annotate strategically, ask yourself what each paragraph does (not just what it says), and recognize the specific question types the LSAT favors. With personalized instruction, you'll practice on real LSAT passages and learn to tackle harder passages with confidence in about 8-9 minutes each—the pace you need for this section.

Logical reasoning makes up half the LSAT (about 50 of 100 questions), so identifying your weak spots here has a huge payoff. Your weak spot might be a specific question type (e.g., flaw questions, strengthen/weaken), a common trap pattern, or simply pacing pressure.

When you connect with a tutor, they'll have you complete timed logical reasoning sections, then analyze your answer sheet to spot patterns—maybe you're rushing through sufficient assumption questions, or you're overthinking necessary assumption questions. Once you know your specific weakness, your tutor designs targeted drills to address it. This precision is much faster than generic prep.

Most effective 10-week programs include 8-12 full-length practice tests, starting around week 3-4 once you've learned the fundamentals. The key is that each test should be followed by a detailed review where you analyze every wrong answer—not just the ones you guessed on, but the ones you had doubts about too.

Expert tutors use your practice test results to shape your weekly focus. If a test reveals that your logic games score dropped under pressure, that becomes your priority that week. This data-driven approach means you're always working on what will actually improve your score, rather than reviewing topics that are already solid.

Test anxiety often comes from two sources: uncertainty about what to expect, and lack of confidence in your strategies. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction addresses both. You'll practice under real test conditions repeatedly, which builds familiarity and reduces surprises on test day. You'll also develop battle-tested strategies that you can rely on when you're nervous.

Over 10 weeks, as you see your practice test scores improve and master the question types, your confidence naturally grows. Expert tutors also help you identify anxiety triggers (maybe you panic on logic games, or you second-guess yourself on reading comp) and develop specific mental strategies to manage them. By test day, you'll feel prepared because you've already succeeded dozens of times.
