Score improvement depends on your starting point and study intensity, but students typically see 5-10 point gains with focused preparation over five weeks. If you're starting from a diagnostic score, this timeframe allows you to master test-specific strategies, identify weak sections, and practice pacing—all critical for score improvement. Working with expert tutors helps you target your specific challenges rather than studying broadly, which accelerates progress.

Timing is one of the biggest challenges on the LSAT, and a structured prep class teaches you section-specific pacing strategies. For Reading Comprehension, you'll learn efficient reading techniques; for Logical Reasoning, you'll practice identifying argument patterns quickly; for Logic Games, you'll develop diagram shortcuts. The key is practicing under timed conditions with full-length tests so you build speed without sacrificing accuracy.

Logic Games require a systematic approach: learning diagram techniques, understanding game types, and practicing extensively under timed conditions. Many students struggle with games initially because they require a different skill set than the other sections. A 5-week prep class breaks down each game type, teaches proven diagramming methods, and provides enough practice to build confidence and speed—typically the biggest payoff area for score improvement.

During a 5-week intensive prep, you should aim to take 4-6 full-length practice tests, spacing them out to allow time for review and targeted skill-building between tests. Each practice test serves two purposes: building test-day stamina and identifying your specific weak areas. Reviewing your practice tests—understanding why you missed questions—is just as important as taking them, so a structured class helps you analyze results and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the test format or uncertainty about your abilities. A 5-week prep class builds confidence through repeated exposure to question types, timed practice, and strategy mastery—you'll know exactly what to expect on test day. Working with expert tutors also provides personalized feedback and encouragement, helping you identify which sections you're strongest in and building momentum as you progress through the program.

It's common to excel in one or two sections while struggling with another—many students find Reading Comprehension or Logic Games particularly challenging. A personalized 5-week prep class lets you allocate more study time to your weaker sections while maintaining your strengths. Expert tutors can diagnose exactly where you're losing points (careless errors vs. conceptual gaps) and create a targeted strategy to improve those specific areas.
