Score improvement varies based on your starting point and study effort, but students typically see gains of 5-15 points with focused, structured preparation. The key is identifying your weak areas early—whether that's logic games, reading speed, or logical reasoning patterns—and dedicating targeted practice to those sections. Consistent practice with real LSAT questions and regular full-length tests help you track progress and adjust your strategy.

Logic Games (Analytical Reasoning) require a skill set that feels unfamiliar to most test-takers: diagramming complex rules and working through spatial reasoning under time pressure. Many students struggle because they try to solve games without a clear system or diagram, which leads to confusion and wasted time. A 10-week prep class teaches you proven diagramming techniques, helps you recognize game types quickly, and gives you time to practice until these strategies become automatic.

Reading Comprehension improves through active reading strategies—identifying the main point, author's tone, and argument structure as you read, rather than rereading passages multiple times. A 10-week prep class teaches you how to annotate effectively, predict question types, and eliminate wrong answers strategically. Regular timed practice with real LSAT passages helps you build speed while maintaining accuracy, and reviewing mistakes shows you which question types need more attention.

Most students benefit from taking 8-12 full-length practice tests over a 10-week period—roughly one per week, with additional section-specific drills in between. Early tests help you identify weak areas and get comfortable with the format; later tests build stamina and let you refine your strategy under realistic conditions. Reviewing every practice test thoroughly is more valuable than the number of tests you take, so focus on understanding why you missed questions and adjusting your approach.

The LSAT gives you 35 minutes per section, and the right timing strategy depends on your strengths. Some students aim to complete all questions and guess on a few; others prioritize accuracy on questions they can solve confidently. A 10-week prep class helps you experiment with different pacing approaches during practice tests to find what works for you. The goal is to maximize your score, whether that means answering fewer questions correctly or pushing yourself to attempt everything.

Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about what to expect or lack of confidence in your preparation. Taking multiple full-length practice tests in a 10-week prep class builds familiarity with the format and reduces anxiety through repetition and success. Developing a pre-test routine, practicing breathing techniques, and reviewing your study progress before test day all help build confidence. Remember that the LSAT is a learnable test—consistent practice proves to yourself that you can handle the material.
