Score improvement depends on your starting point and study consistency, but most students see meaningful gains with structured preparation. Students who commit to regular practice and implement targeted strategies often improve by 5-10 points or more. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's logic games speed, reading comprehension accuracy, or logical reasoning patterns—and focusing your practice there during the 10-week period.

Logic Games require a different type of analytical thinking than most people practice in school, which is why they're often the biggest challenge for LSAT test-takers. A 10-week prep class teaches you the diagramming systems and pattern recognition strategies that make games manageable, then builds your speed through repeated timed practice. With expert guidance and consistent drilling, you'll move from confusion to confidence on this section.

Pacing is critical since you have roughly 1.5 minutes per question. A structured prep class teaches you which questions to prioritize, when to guess strategically, and how to allocate time across sections based on your strengths. Through timed practice tests and section drills, you'll develop an intuitive sense of pace that reduces anxiety and maximizes your score on test day.

Most students benefit from taking 8-12 full-length practice tests over a 10-week period—roughly one per week with additional section-specific practice in between. This frequency allows you to track progress, identify patterns in your mistakes, and build stamina for the actual test. Your prep class will guide you on timing and help you analyze each test to target remaining weak areas.

Reading Comprehension success comes from active reading, strategic note-taking, and understanding question types. A 10-week prep class teaches you how to identify the main argument quickly, distinguish between detail questions and inference questions, and avoid common traps. You'll practice on actual LSAT passages and learn to balance speed with accuracy so you can answer questions confidently without rereading entire passages.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format and uncertainty about your abilities. A 10-week prep class reduces anxiety by familiarizing you with every question type, teaching proven strategies, and building confidence through repeated success on practice tests. By test day, you'll have practiced the exact format dozens of times, which significantly reduces stress and helps you perform closer to your practice test scores.
