Score improvement varies based on your starting point and study effort, but most students see meaningful gains with focused, structured preparation. Students typically improve by 5-10 points or more when they commit to the full 10-week program and complete assigned practice work. The key is consistent practice with diagnostic feedback—identifying your specific weaknesses in Logic Games, Reading Comprehension, or Logical Reasoning allows tutors to tailor instruction to maximize your improvement.

Logic Games challenge many test-takers because they require a different skill set than the other sections—you need to visualize complex relationships and work through scenarios quickly and accurately. The best approach is to learn the fundamental diagramming techniques, practice each game type repeatedly, and build speed through timed drills. A 10-week prep class gives you the structured time to move from understanding concepts to executing them under test conditions.

Reading Comprehension timing challenges often stem from inefficient reading strategies or spending too much time on difficult questions. Effective preparation focuses on active reading techniques, strategic question prioritization, and timed practice to build speed without sacrificing accuracy. A 10-week program allows you to experiment with different approaches and find the reading strategy that works best for your brain, then practice it until it becomes automatic.

Most 10-week LSAT programs include 8-12 full-length practice tests spread throughout the course, typically with one every week or two. Early tests help identify your baseline and weak areas, while later tests build endurance and allow you to track improvement. Between full tests, you'll work on section-specific drills and timed exercises to target your particular challenges in Logic Games, Reading Comprehension, or Logical Reasoning.

Test anxiety often decreases naturally when you've practiced extensively under realistic conditions—taking full-length timed tests in a quiet environment helps normalize the experience. A 10-week prep class builds confidence through repeated exposure to the test format, timing, and question types, plus you'll learn specific strategies for staying calm under pressure. Tutors can also teach breathing techniques and mental frameworks to refocus if you feel anxious during the actual exam.

Uneven section performance is common, and a 10-week prep class can be customized to address your specific gaps. If Logic Games are your weakness, you might spend more time on diagramming and game type recognition; if Reading Comprehension is challenging, you can focus on active reading strategies and question type patterns. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who assess your strengths and weaknesses early, then tailor the curriculum to maximize your overall score.

Most students benefit from 15-20 hours of focused study per week during a 10-week prep program—this includes class time, practice drills, full-length tests, and review. The exact schedule depends on your starting score and target score, but consistency matters more than cramming. A structured 10-week class provides the framework and accountability to maintain steady progress, with tutors helping you balance preparation intensity with avoiding burnout.
