Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level. Students typically see 5-15 point gains with consistent effort, though some improve more significantly if they address fundamental skill gaps. The first few weeks often focus on understanding question formats and strategies, while later weeks emphasize speed, accuracy, and test-taking confidence. Your tutors can assess your baseline after initial practice tests and create realistic improvement targets based on your specific needs.

Logic Games (Analytical Reasoning) require a different skill set than most students have practiced—you need to visualize complex relationships quickly and accurately. Many students struggle with diagramming efficiently, recognizing game types, and managing time pressure. A 10-week prep class dedicates substantial time to mastering diagramming techniques, drilling game patterns, and building the visual-spatial reasoning skills that make this section manageable. With targeted practice, even students who initially find Logic Games intimidating can achieve significant improvement.

Most 10-week programs include 4-6 full-length, timed practice tests spaced throughout the course. These are typically administered every 1-2 weeks so you can track progress, identify patterns in your mistakes, and adjust your strategy. Between full tests, you'll also complete section-specific drills and untimed practice sets to build accuracy before adding time pressure. Practice tests are your most valuable learning tool—reviewing your wrong answers reveals exactly where your reasoning breaks down.

Effective Reading Comprehension strategy balances active reading with time management. Rather than reading for complete understanding, you'll learn to identify the author's main point, argument structure, and tone—then use that roadmap to answer questions efficiently. A 10-week prep class teaches you to annotate strategically, recognize common question types, and avoid common traps like answer choices that sound right but distort the passage. The key is practicing with real LSAT passages so you develop the specific reading skills the test rewards.

Test anxiety typically stems from uncertainty and time pressure—both addressed directly through a 10-week prep class. By taking multiple full-length practice tests under timed conditions, you build confidence and familiarity with what to expect. Your tutors can also teach specific strategies like pacing techniques, breathing exercises, and mental reframing to stay calm during the actual exam. The more you practice under realistic conditions, the less the test day itself feels novel or threatening.

Pacing improves through targeted drills and deliberate practice. Early in your 10-week prep, you'll work on accuracy without time limits, then gradually add pressure by practicing sections in 35-minute windows. You'll learn which question types you can solve quickly and which need more time, then develop a personalized pacing strategy—for example, some students skip difficult games initially and return to them later. Regular timed drills and full-length tests help you internalize this rhythm so it feels natural on test day.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have deep LSAT knowledge and a track record helping students improve. When you get matched, your tutor will assess your baseline score, discuss your law school goals, and identify your strongest and weakest sections. From there, they'll customize your 10-week plan to address your specific challenges—whether that's Logic Games mastery, Reading Comprehension speed, or test anxiety management. You'll work 1-on-1 so every session targets your actual needs.
