Score improvement varies based on your starting point and study consistency, but most students see meaningful gains with focused prep—typically 5-15 points or more. The LSAT ranges from 120-180, and even a 5-point increase can significantly impact law school admissions and scholarship opportunities. Your actual improvement depends on how much time you dedicate outside of class, how quickly you grasp the logical reasoning patterns, and how well you apply test-taking strategies to your practice tests.

Logic Games require a systematic approach: start by understanding the fundamental game types and diagramming methods, then practice games individually before moving to timed sets. Most students benefit from drilling 10-15 games per week, reviewing mistakes carefully, and eventually working through full sections under timed conditions. By week 8-10, you should be able to recognize game patterns quickly and execute your setup efficiently—this is where consistent, focused practice makes the biggest difference.

Reading Comprehension success comes from understanding passage structure, identifying main ideas versus supporting details, and practicing active reading strategies. Many students struggle with pacing—trying to read every word perfectly instead of reading strategically for the questions being asked. A 10-week prep class teaches you to annotate efficiently, predict question types based on passage content, and eliminate wrong answers confidently. Regular practice with timed passages, combined with careful review of your mistakes, helps you identify whether you're struggling with reading speed, comprehension, or question interpretation.

Most students benefit from taking 8-12 full-length practice tests over 10 weeks—roughly one per week, with several in the final weeks to build test-day stamina and confidence. Early practice tests help identify weak sections and question types; later tests should be taken under strict timed conditions to simulate the actual exam. Between tests, focus on drilling your weak areas rather than just taking more full tests—targeted practice is more efficient than volume alone.

Timing strategy varies by section: for Logical Reasoning, most students aim for 1.5-2 minutes per question; for Reading Comprehension, 8-9 minutes per passage plus questions; for Logic Games, 8-9 minutes per game. The key is knowing when to skip a difficult question and come back later rather than getting stuck. A 10-week prep class teaches you to recognize which questions you can solve quickly versus which ones need more time, and how to manage your energy across the full 3-hour exam without rushing carelessly.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format and question types—which is why consistent practice with real LSAT questions builds confidence. By week 10, you'll have seen hundreds of questions and taken multiple full-length tests, making the actual exam feel familiar rather than intimidating. Developing a pre-test routine, practicing stress-management techniques during timed drills, and reviewing your progress objectively helps you approach test day with calm confidence rather than fear.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert instructors who have deep knowledge of LSAT strategy and can diagnose exactly where you're struggling—whether that's Logic Games, reading speed, or test-day pacing. When you get matched, you can discuss your target score, timeline, and specific weak areas so your instructor tailors the 10-week curriculum to your needs. The best fit is someone who explains concepts clearly, provides detailed feedback on your practice tests, and adjusts the pace based on your progress.
