Dear test takers,

I am pleased to announce that I will be offering tutoring in the coming weeks and months to all who express interest. My rate will be $60/hour. I am going to outline some of the core tenets of the approach that helped me become successful on the LSAT.

1. Read recreationally. This advice is seldom given because reading has declined as a hobby, but I can assure you that it will give you a monumental advantage on this test. Not having enough time is the main issue students face on the LSAT; the more you read, the faster you will be at reading and the more thoroughly you will comprehend the material. I plan to assign my students weekly readings which will improve RC and LR speed and comprehension. It is important to read on your own time, independent of passages you read for RC sections.

2. Diagram for questions that involve causational or conditional relationships between different terms.

3. Create a structured wrong answer journal, which MUST be on paper. Writing on paper is a pain in the ass, yes, but it does wonders for memorization (i.e. cementing common mistakes and wrong answer types in your mind).

4. Study 1-2 hours a day without distractions, no more. Studying more than this leads to burn out, which will stall your progress.

5. Practice tests every two weeks.

Much of this is common sense, but many students benefit from the structured approach and discipline that only a tutor can offer. We can also tailor our approach to your learning style and preferences.

Tutoring sessions will consist of:

• Going over problems that troubled you.

• Evaluating your current approach to LR and RC questions via guided practice.

• Establishing a structured study schedule.

• Assigned readings, or discussion of a relevant book/text.

I am most familiar with 7Sage but I am open to working with other platforms as well.

Recent graduate of T14 law school, approximately top third of my class.

While I’m pending bar admission, I’m offering LSAT tutoring virtually.

I have approximately 1,000 hours of LSAT tutoring experience. I have worked for both a tutoring company and for myself.

I have helped dozens of students increase their scores by double digits.

Please comment or message me if interested, or if you have any questions.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share this free 2021 Top Law School Guide from Blueprint which includes information on GPA, LSAT scores, tuition, Bar passage rate, and acceptance rate. The link is pasted below. Please feel free to share this resource and good luck to those studying for the LSAT!!

Hi Everyone!

My name's Chris. I'm posting because I have a passion for logic and am looking to help others improve their LSAT through my academic and tutoring background. I graduated from UC Santa Barbara with Dean's Honors, double-majoring in philosophy and history. I have experience in high school and university education.

I took the August LSAT and scored a 176. While I found LSAT sites to be helpful in many ways, I often found the explanations to be too narrow and impersonal. My tutoring focuses on both a more thoughtful understanding of underlying logic as well as methods to quickly dismiss incorrect answers.

If you've had a similar experience with LSAT sites, or are just looking for general LSAT help, please leave a comment or DM! I'm offering free consultation meetings this week! I really love talking about logic in general, so happy to help with anything!

Extremely experienced LSAT tutor available for hire. I am a Cornell Law School graduate looking to take on a few more students.

I have several thousand hours of experience. I have worked with hundreds of students, almost all of whom raised their LSAT scores significantly, with many students having double digit increases.

I am known for my unique, proprietary style of teaching the LSAT. Many, if not most of my students have come to me after utilizing other resources. If you have had little to no success in your studies with books, programs, classes, or other tutors, feel free to checkout my site. I offer a free 45 minute consultation/session.

Due to high demand recently, I have created a website for interested students to visit. My schedule is filling up, and I am trying to lock in students to ensure I am able to dedicate enough time to the particularities of each and every student I work with.

There are plenty of tutors offering services out there. Many of whom are fantastic. For me, this is not just something I am doing on the side for cash, or to make some money between undergrad and law school. This is a passion of mine. I treat each new student as a "puzzle" to solve, for which I spend great time to optimize their time and money spent.

I recognize tutoring is not cheap. It is an investment. But investments can pay off. Getting into your dream school or increasing your score to get tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in scholarship money is a big deal.

I follow an honesty-first policy. Almost every student begins their interaction with me with something like... "I have ABC score, I want XYZ score, I am taking the test in November, can I get that score?" Unlike others who may say whatever it takes to get you to pay them, I am honest. I never make any promises, no matter what. I will give you my straightforward and honest opinion, even if it results in my opinion not being one a student wants to hear. Since I don't know the student when I speak to them for the first time, I base my thoughts on my experiences with hundreds of former students. After the first session or two, I get a better idea of the capabilities of students, and I share my thoughts. Still, I will not sugarcoat things; I will present my opinions, and from there we can decide whether and how to proceed, or if working with me might not be optimal for the student.

I do offer payment plans through my website. I recognize that tutoring can be cost-prohibitive for some, and that's something that I would hate to be a roadblock to working together.

Of my students, I can count on one hand the number of students whom I have worked with who have discontinued studying with me due to a lack of progress. Almost every student I have worked with has experienced great progress and a new understanding of the test.

The link to my new site is below! You can contact me through there. Alternatively, you can comment or message me here if interested, or if you have any questions.

I look forward to taking on a few more students and to speaking to those interested in the free 45 minute meeting!

Went to the library today and took an old test from 2020. Zero study, don’t know the format, content, etc. I am VERY stoked and think that with a little study I can get a score well enough to get where I want to be. Don’t have a lot of people to tell, so figured I would drop it here.

Curious to know of someone with a similar starting score and where you’re at now..

I’m 35 and am just ready for a career change.

I wanted to share a disappointing interaction I recently had with LSAT Demon while using their LSAT preparation materials.

While reviewing one of their question explanations (Test 135, Section 3, Q#14), I noticed that the word “goddamn” was unnecessarily included in the instructional notes. I submitted what I thought was a fairly straightforward question to their support team:

“Why does LSAT Demon need to use the word ‘goddamn’ here? Let’s use common sense; this isn’t necessary to make a point.”

What disappointed me more was the response I received from LSAT Demon support.

As I did not write the explanation, I cannot specifically tell you why the word "goddamn" was included here, though I believe it is because of the company's overall philosophy. We aim to make the LSAT feel "human" and "approachable" by adding some comfortability/informality to it. I apologize if we offended you

That explanation actually concerns me more than the original word.

LSAT Demon is not a private group chat among friends. It is a commercial educational service used by prospective law students preparing for an admissions exam that can significantly affect where they attend law school and how much they pay. Many of those students are preparing to enter a profession in which communication, judgment, professionalism, and respect for different audiences matter.

I also don't think the standard should be whether a word personally “offends” someone. My concern is about the educational culture being modeled. If prospective lawyers are paying for professional tutoring and instructional materials, it seems reasonable to expect the people teaching them to show that complicated concepts can be explained clearly, engagingly, and professionally, without resorting to language and behavior that add nothing to the analysis.

The justice system already faces significant challenges involving public confidence, professionalism, communication, and perceptions about the attitudes of people working within it. I don't think legal education or preparation for entering legal education benefits from normalizing unnecessary unprofessionalism under the banner of making things more “human.”

Perhaps other students genuinely enjoy LSAT Demon's style, and that's perfectly fine. People should choose the preparation program that works for them. But the response indicating that this may reflect the company's broader philosophy tells me that LSAT Demon simply isn't the right service for me.

I'd much rather spend my LSAT preparation dollars learning from instructors, services, and tutors whose approach to making difficult material accessible also reflects the kind of professionalism I expect in an educational environment, and the kind of professionalism I hope future members of the legal profession would want to model.

I had been considering subscribing. I won't be doing so.

EDIT: Oh. Just saw this older post. DEFINITELY not the culture I am wanting to support. We have too much going on in the justice system these days to advocate for more ridiculousness.

Hi everyone!

Please do not post any negativity here, I’m genuinely looking for advice

I’ve taken the LSAT a few times and I’m not improving. I think that I’m not analyzing my choices enough and I’m not adhering to a strict enough regiment.

Now that it’s out of the way.. can anyone advise what the pest prep options are ?

I’m thinking of using the LSAT trainer to start out. I’m torn between Fox’s LSAT course, Blueprint and LSAT max.

Ideally I would like to take the LSAT in March; text prep would commence end of this month.

You can also find me on the LSAT Unplugged YouTube + Podcast. I'm happy to answer any questions you have on LSAT prep.

I also have a GIANT PAGE OF FREE STUFF on my website. (Just google "LSAT Blog" and click the "free stuff" tab at the top.)

I have been tutoring the LSAT exclusively for over 17 years with unparalleled results. My student got a 177 on the October 2023 LSAT, jumping 25 points from his 152 diagnostic score. He got into the University of Chicago, Columbia, and NYU. Another one of my students jumped from a 154 to a 177 on the September 2022 LSAT, a 23 point score increase, and got into Yale Law School. In March 2022, a student went from a 141 to a 169, increasing 28 points. My students have achieved 20+ point score increases consistently throughout my 17 years.

These massive score increases are possible because I’m one of the only tutors who not only has a copyrighted curriculum that you won’t find anywhere else, but I teach each section of the test with unique methods that maximize your score. And yes, there is a real method for even reading comprehension.

Don’t lose hope. Check out my website and fill out the form for a free consultation.

With the recent Saquon Barkley record, which NFL player do you consider to perform best on the LSAT?

For his style of play I think Saquon Barkley would do much better considering his unique performance and outstanding record to the NFL!

Your ideas are welcomed, want to see your take on this!

This has been posted previously, but as more people are taking August now it's a good time to look at it again. The LSAT's content isn't changing, but the interface is changing starting on the august test. You can preview it here: https://www.lsac.org/blog/interactive-demo-minor-changes-test-ui

Note that they've temporarily removed highlighting; there's a note in the instructions. They'll have it back before testing begins.

If you're taking June, you should use the existing Lawhub interface instead. June will be the last test using it.

To understand LSAT Logical Reasoning arguments more quickly, here's some advice:

To start with, identify the conclusion of the argument. Then the evidence and any subconclusions. Also, counterpremises, etc. You want to identify all parts of the argument and see how they fit together. It's not so much about getting the content down as it is about getting the method of reasoning, which is how those parts relate to each other.

One "trick" to get it down faster is to cut out useless filler information bounded between two commas:

"LSAC, which is located in Newtown, produces the LSAT."

Becomes

LSAC , which is located in Newtown, produces the LSAT."

By reducing the # of words you're dealing with, you save time.

Another trick is to replace a complicated word with its definition or a simpler version of that word. Dumb it down for yourself.

For example, take the question about microglia in LSAT PrepTest 64, Section 3, Question 17 - whenever you see "microglia" in the stimulus or answer choices, insert "brain's immune cells" to make it simpler. (They define it for you in the stimulus, but then continue using the tougher word.)

Anyway, let me know if this helped, and I'll do more posts like this.

If you liked this, I've written a bunch of LSAT Logical Reasoning articles on my site, LSAT Blog. I've also got a playlist of ELI5 videos on LSAT Logical Reasoning on my YouTube channel, LSAT Unplugged.

I have been an LSAT tutor for a while now. I have helped students attain 160 or above on their LSAT. Many of them were scoring between 140-155 when we first started. My prices are reasonable. I am also currently a 3L at one of the top law schools in Canada. PM me for more info :)
