Score improvement varies based on your starting point and study commitment, but most students see meaningful gains of 5-10 points with focused preparation over 10 weeks. Students who start with foundational gaps may see larger improvements as they master question types and strategies, while those already scoring in the 160s+ may see smaller gains. Consistent practice, targeted review of mistakes, and personalized instruction help maximize your improvement trajectory.

Logic Games require a skill set many students haven't developed before: diagramming relationships, managing multiple conditional rules, and solving under time pressure. The section demands both pattern recognition and systematic problem-solving, and students often struggle initially because they're unfamiliar with the game types and diagramming conventions. With targeted practice and strategy instruction, most students can master this section—many find it becomes their strongest area once they understand the framework.

The LSAT gives you 35 minutes per section, which requires strategic pacing—typically 1.5-2 minutes per Logical Reasoning question, 8-9 minutes per Logic Game, and 8-9 minutes per Reading Comp passage. Rather than rushing through all questions, effective test-takers prioritize accuracy on questions they can solve within their time budget and make educated guesses on harder ones. A 10-week prep class teaches you to identify your optimal pacing strategy through timed practice and helps you build the speed and confidence to execute it on test day.

Most LSAT experts recommend taking 20-30 full-length practice tests before test day to build familiarity with the format, develop stamina, and identify patterns in your mistakes. A 10-week prep class typically incorporates 8-12 full-length tests spread throughout the program, with the remaining tests done independently. The key is analyzing each test carefully—reviewing every question you missed and understanding why, not just accumulating test-taking hours.

Effective Reading Comp strategy involves reading the passage actively (noting structure, main ideas, and author's tone) rather than passively, then using the passage to answer questions precisely—avoiding trap answers that sound plausible but don't match the text. Many students struggle because they either read too slowly trying to memorize details, or skim and miss important nuances. A 10-week class teaches you to balance reading speed with comprehension and shows you how to spot common question traps and wrong answer patterns.

Test anxiety typically stems from uncertainty about what to expect or doubt in your abilities—both addressed through thorough preparation and practice. Taking full-length timed tests repeatedly under realistic conditions builds confidence because you've already experienced the pressure and know your capabilities. A 10-week prep class also teaches mental strategies like managing time pressure, staying focused when questions are hard, and using guessing strategies strategically so you feel in control throughout the test.
