Score improvement depends on your starting point and study consistency, but many students see gains of 5-15 points over a focused 10-week period. Students who start with a diagnostic score around 140 and commit to regular practice often reach the 150-160 range, while those already scoring 160+ typically focus on refining weak sections to reach their target. The key is identifying your specific weak areas early and dedicating focused practice to those sections throughout the program.

Logic Games require a different skill set than most people develop naturally—they demand pattern recognition, spatial reasoning, and the ability to work quickly under pressure. A structured 10-week prep class breaks down game types systematically, teaches you to diagram efficiently, and provides hundreds of practice problems so you can recognize patterns instantly. Many students find that with consistent practice and the right strategies, Logic Games shift from their weakest section to a source of confidence.

A solid 10-week program typically includes 8-12 full-length practice tests, spaced throughout the course to track progress and build test-day stamina. Early tests help identify weak areas, while later tests simulate actual exam conditions and allow you to refine timing and strategy. Between full tests, you'll also work on individual sections and drill specific question types, ensuring you're not just taking tests but actively learning from each one.

Timing strategy is section-specific: Logical Reasoning requires quick pattern recognition to answer 24-26 questions in 35 minutes, Reading Comprehension demands efficient note-taking to tackle 26-28 questions in 35 minutes, and Logic Games benefit from spending 2-3 minutes per game setup to solve 4 games in 35 minutes. A 10-week prep class teaches you to practice with strict time limits from day one, gradually building speed without sacrificing accuracy. Your tutor can help you identify which sections are eating up your time and adjust your approach accordingly.

Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty—when you've practiced extensively and know exactly what to expect, confidence naturally follows. A 10-week prep program builds this confidence through repeated exposure to real test conditions, timing pressure, and the full range of question types. Your tutor can also teach you practical anxiety-management techniques like strategic breathing, positive self-talk, and how to recover mentally if you encounter a difficult section.

Personalized instruction is ideal for addressing uneven performance across sections. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can spend extra time on your weaker areas—whether that's untangling complex Reading Comprehension passages or mastering a specific Logic Games pattern—while maintaining your strengths. A 10-week timeline gives you enough time to make meaningful progress on lagging sections without neglecting areas where you're already performing well.

Your first session typically includes taking a diagnostic full-length practice test to establish your baseline score and identify your strengths and weaknesses across all three sections. After reviewing your results, your tutor will create a personalized study plan targeting your specific needs, explain the overall structure of the 10-week program, and answer any questions about LSAT strategy. This foundation ensures the rest of your prep is strategically focused on maximizing your score improvement.
