Frequently Asked Questions
A 10-week LSAT prep class provides structured instruction across all three sections of the test: Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, and Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games). The curriculum typically includes strategy instruction for each question type, timed practice drills, full-length practice tests, and personalized feedback on your performance. This timeframe allows you to build foundational skills while progressively increasing test-like conditions to improve your pacing and accuracy.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment level, but students typically see 5-10 point gains with consistent preparation. If you're starting from a diagnostic score of 145, reaching 155+ is achievable; if you're already at 160+, gains may be smaller but still meaningful for law school admissions. The key is identifying your specific weak areas—whether that's Logic Games speed, Reading Comprehension stamina, or Logical Reasoning accuracy—and targeting those through focused practice during the 10 weeks.
Logic Games require a different skill set than other LSAT sections—they demand spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, and the ability to work quickly under pressure. Many test-takers struggle because they haven't seen this question format before. A 10-week prep class teaches you the diagramming techniques and game types that appear on every LSAT, plus provides dozens of practice games so you can build speed and confidence. Most students find that once they understand the system, their performance improves dramatically.
Most LSAT prep programs recommend taking 8-12 full-length practice tests over 10 weeks—roughly one per week, with some weeks including 2 tests. This frequency allows you to track progress, get comfortable with test timing (3 hours and 35 minutes), and identify patterns in your mistakes. Between tests, you'll review your performance with detailed analysis to understand why you missed questions, which is where real improvement happens.
Reading Comprehension timing issues usually stem from either reading too slowly or re-reading passages multiple times. A 10-week prep class teaches strategic reading techniques—like identifying main ideas and argument structure on the first pass—so you spend less time searching for answers. You'll also practice with timed drills that gradually increase speed while maintaining accuracy, and learn which questions are worth spending extra time on versus which ones you should skip and return to.
Test anxiety often comes from uncertainty about what to expect or feeling unprepared. A 10-week prep class reduces anxiety by familiarizing you with every question type, timing structure, and test-day logistics through repeated practice. You'll take multiple full-length tests under timed conditions, which builds confidence and makes the actual LSAT feel routine rather than scary. Many students also benefit from learning stress-management strategies specific to test-taking, like pacing techniques and mental resets between sections.
Start with a full-length diagnostic test taken under timed conditions—this reveals your baseline score and which sections are dragging you down. Then analyze your performance by question type within each section: Are you missing Logical Reasoning questions because you misread the stimulus, or because you can't eliminate wrong answers? Are you running out of time on Reading Comp, or making careless errors? A 10-week prep class helps you conduct this analysis and create a targeted study plan so you're not wasting time on sections you already excel at.
Most students benefit from 15-20 hours of focused study per week during a 10-week program—this includes class time, practice drills, full-length tests, and review. The exact amount depends on your starting score and target score; if you're aiming for a significant jump, you may need to dedicate closer to 20 hours weekly. Consistency matters more than intensity, so spreading your study across multiple days each week helps you retain concepts better than cramming everything into weekends.
