Question 1

How much can my LSAT score improve with tutoring?

Accepted Answer

Score improvement depends on your starting point and study commitment, but students typically see gains of 5-10 points with focused preparation and personalized instruction. Some students improve more significantly, especially when working with a tutor to identify specific weak areas in logic games, reading comprehension, or logical reasoning and developing targeted strategies to address them.

Question 2

What happens in my first tutoring session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session focuses on assessment and planning. A tutor will review your diagnostic test results, discuss your target score and law school goals, and identify which sections need the most attention. Together, you'll create a personalized study plan that fits your timeline and learning style.

Question 3

Why are logic games so challenging, and how can tutoring help?

Accepted Answer

Logic games require a specific skill set—diagramming, pattern recognition, and speed—that many test-takers struggle with initially. A tutor can teach you proven diagramming techniques, help you recognize game types quickly, and build your speed through targeted practice, transforming this section from your biggest weakness into a strength.

Question 4

How can I improve my LSAT reading comprehension score?

Accepted Answer

Reading comprehension success comes from active reading strategies, question type familiarity, and consistent practice. Tutors help you develop annotation techniques, teach you to identify main ideas versus details, and show you how to approach different question types (main idea, inference, author's tone) with confidence and accuracy.

Question 5

How long should I study for the LSAT with a tutor?

Accepted Answer

Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of preparation, meeting with a tutor 1-3 times per week depending on their starting score and target. Your tutor will help you develop a realistic timeline based on your diagnostic score, test date, and how much independent study you can commit to between sessions.

Question 6

How important are practice tests in LSAT preparation?

Accepted Answer

Practice tests are essential—they build stamina, help you identify patterns in your mistakes, and reduce test anxiety by familiarizing you with the actual test format and timing. Tutors typically recommend taking full-length, timed practice tests regularly and reviewing them in depth to understand why you missed questions, not just what the right answer is.

Question 7

How can tutoring help with LSAT test anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Test anxiety often stems from feeling unprepared or uncertain about strategies. Working with a tutor builds confidence through mastery—you'll learn proven techniques, practice under timed conditions, and understand the test format so thoroughly that test day feels manageable. Many students find that personalized instruction transforms anxiety into readiness.

Question 8

What qualifications should I look for in an LSAT tutor?

Accepted Answer

Look for tutors with strong LSAT scores (typically 170+), law school experience, and a track record of helping students improve. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand the test deeply and can teach both content and strategy—they'll be able to explain not just what the right answer is, but why test-makers designed the question that way.
