Your first session focuses on assessment and goal-setting. A tutor will review your baseline LSAT knowledge, discuss your target score, and identify which sections need the most attention. You'll also take a diagnostic practice test to establish a starting point and understand the test format. This foundation helps create a personalized 10-week study plan tailored to your strengths and challenges.

Logic games intimidate many LSAT test-takers because they require both pattern recognition and speed. Personalized instruction lets a tutor break down game types, teach you diagramming strategies specific to your learning style, and have you practice with immediate feedback. Over 10 weeks, you'll work through progressively harder games and develop the confidence to tackle unfamiliar game types on test day.

Reading comprehension on the LSAT requires active reading, strategic note-taking, and quick question analysis—skills that improve dramatically with guided practice. Tutors teach techniques like identifying main arguments, spotting author tone, and mapping passage structure before diving into questions. With personalized feedback on your reading approach, you'll learn to manage time effectively and avoid common traps like misreading scope or confusing similar answer choices.

Pacing is one of the biggest challenges LSAT test-takers face, especially when balancing accuracy with speed. A tutor helps you develop section-specific timing strategies—for example, knowing when to skip a difficult logic game versus pushing through, or how to allocate time across reading passages. Through timed practice tests and strategic drills during your 10-week prep, you'll build the rhythm needed to complete all sections confidently.

Most LSAT prep programs recommend taking 8-12 full practice tests over a 10-week period to build stamina and familiarity with the test format. A tutor will help you space these strategically—starting with untimed tests to focus on accuracy, then moving to timed full sections, and finally complete timed exams. Each practice test becomes a diagnostic tool, revealing patterns in your mistakes and guiding your study focus for the following week.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format or fear of running out of time. Personalized tutoring builds confidence through repeated exposure to real test conditions and proven strategies for each section. A tutor can also help you develop mental approaches—like managing self-doubt during logic games or staying focused through a dense reading passage. By test day, you'll have practiced so thoroughly that the actual exam feels like another drill session.

A tutor uses diagnostic practice tests and section-by-section drills to pinpoint exactly where you're losing points—whether it's a specific logic game type, reading comprehension question patterns, or logical reasoning argument structures. Rather than generic review, your 10-week plan focuses study time on these weak areas while maintaining your strengths. Regular check-ins ensure you're making progress and allow the tutor to adjust strategies if something isn't working.
