Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but most students see meaningful gains through focused, structured preparation. The 10-week timeline allows sufficient time to master test-specific strategies, build speed and accuracy, and complete multiple full-length practice tests under timed conditions. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can pinpoint your specific weak areas and create a personalized study plan to maximize your progress within this timeframe.

Logic Games require a systematic approach: first, master the fundamental diagramming techniques for each game type (sequencing, grouping, matching), then practice recognizing patterns quickly. The key is drilling individual game types until you can set them up efficiently, then progressing to mixed-section practice under time pressure. Many students struggle with pacing—spending too long on setup—so tutors focus on building speed through targeted practice and helping you recognize which games to attempt first based on your strengths.

Reading Comprehension success comes from active reading strategies: annotating passages, identifying main ideas and argument structure, and understanding the test's specific question types (main point, inference, author's tone, etc.). The LSAT rewards precision—you need to distinguish between what the passage explicitly states versus what you can infer. Expert tutors help you develop efficient reading habits, practice with timed passages, and learn to eliminate trap answers that sound plausible but don't match the passage.

Most students benefit from completing 8–12 full-length practice tests over 10 weeks, with the frequency increasing as you progress. Early weeks focus on untimed or partially timed sections to build accuracy, while later weeks emphasize full 3-hour timed tests to simulate actual test conditions. Each practice test should be followed by detailed review to understand why you missed questions—this is where real improvement happens. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can guide your practice test strategy and help you analyze results effectively.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format or uncertainty about your skills—both addressed through consistent practice and preparation. Completing multiple timed practice tests builds confidence and helps you develop a calm, systematic approach to managing your time and energy during the real exam. Expert tutors also teach stress-management techniques specific to test day, such as pacing strategies, mental resets between sections, and how to handle unexpected difficult questions without panic.

The LSAT gives you 35 minutes per section, and timing strategy varies by section. For Logical Reasoning, most students aim to complete questions in 1.5–2 minutes each. Reading Comprehension typically requires 8–10 minutes per passage plus questions. Logic Games timing is highly individual—some students tackle all four games, while others strategically skip the hardest one. The key is knowing your own strengths and practicing different approaches during the 10-week prep period so you can execute a personalized strategy confidently on test day.
