Score improvement depends on your starting point and study consistency, but 10 weeks is generally enough time to see meaningful gains—typically 5-15 points for most students. The key is identifying your specific weak areas early (whether that's logic games, reading comprehension pacing, or logical reasoning patterns) and focusing practice there. Varsity Tutors connects students in El Paso with tutors who can diagnose your baseline and create a targeted study plan to maximize improvement within your timeline.

Logic Games require systematic practice and pattern recognition, so a 10-week timeline works well if you start with fundamental diagramming techniques and progress to timed, full-section practice. Most students benefit from learning game types (sequencing, grouping, matching) separately before mixing them under timed conditions. Tutors can help you identify which game types trip you up most and provide targeted drills so you build speed and accuracy simultaneously.

Reading Comprehension challenges often stem from either reading too slowly to finish, or rushing and missing key details. The solution is strategic reading—learning to identify main ideas, structure, and author tone quickly rather than memorizing every detail. Over 10 weeks, tutors can teach you efficient annotation techniques, question-type strategies, and how to manage the 35-minute section timing. Practice tests reveal which passage types slow you down, allowing you to focus energy where it matters most.

A typical 10-week prep schedule includes 8-12 full-length practice tests, spaced strategically throughout your study period. Early tests (weeks 1-3) help establish your baseline and identify weak areas; mid-prep tests (weeks 4-7) track improvement as you apply new strategies; final tests (weeks 8-10) simulate test-day conditions and build confidence. Between full tests, you'll work on section-specific drills and targeted practice. Tutors can review your practice tests to spot patterns in your mistakes and adjust your study plan accordingly.

Test anxiety often peaks when you're unsure of your approach or haven't practiced under realistic conditions. A structured 10-week program reduces anxiety by building confidence through incremental progress, timed practice, and clear strategy. Tutors help by teaching you to recognize anxiety triggers (like unfamiliar question types), providing proven test-taking techniques, and simulating test-day conditions so the real exam feels familiar. Regular practice tests also normalize the experience and help you develop a calm, methodical mindset.

Your first step is a diagnostic full-length practice test to establish baseline scores across all three sections. Compare your accuracy and timing on each section—if you're scoring significantly lower on Reading Comprehension or Logic Games, that's your priority. Tutors can analyze your practice test results to pinpoint whether your struggles are conceptual (not understanding question types), timing-based (rushing through), or strategy-related (not using efficient techniques). Once identified, you can allocate focused study time to shore up that section while maintaining strength in others.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in LSAT prep and understand your specific goals and timeline. During the matching process, you'll share your current score, target score, and any particular section challenges. Tutors review this information and create a personalized 10-week study plan tailored to your needs. You can start with a first session to ensure the fit is right, and tutors adjust their approach based on how you learn best—whether that's detailed strategy lessons, intensive practice drills, or test-day confidence building.
