Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but students typically see meaningful gains with focused preparation over 10 weeks. The LSAT (scored 120-180) rewards targeted practice and strategy refinement, and many students improve by 10-20 points or more with consistent study. Your tutor will help you identify which sections offer the most improvement potential and create a realistic timeline based on your baseline score.

Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) is often the most intimidating section, but it's also the most learnable—games follow predictable patterns once you understand the underlying logic. A 10-week prep class gives you time to master diagramming techniques, recognize game types, and build speed through targeted practice. Your tutor can focus extra attention on this section if needed and help you move from confusion to confidence.

Most LSAT prep programs incorporate 4-6 full-length practice tests over 10 weeks, spaced strategically to allow time for learning between attempts. Practice tests serve two purposes: they help you build test-day stamina and reveal specific patterns in your mistakes. Between full tests, you'll also work on individual section drills and targeted question types, creating a balanced approach to skill development.

Timing is a critical challenge on the LSAT, and your tutor will teach you strategic approaches like tackling questions in optimal order, recognizing when to skip and return to difficult questions, and managing the 35-minute section time. Rather than rushing, you'll learn to work efficiently by prioritizing high-confidence questions first. Practice tests help you internalize these timing strategies so they feel natural on test day.

Reading Comprehension success comes from active reading techniques—identifying the author's main point, understanding passage structure, and annotating strategically rather than passively reading. Your tutor will teach you how to read LSAT passages differently than you read for pleasure, focusing on argument flow and question patterns. With practice, you'll develop the ability to predict question types and locate answers quickly.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity with the format and uncertainty about performance—both addressed directly through 10 weeks of structured prep. Taking multiple full-length practice tests under timed conditions builds confidence and reduces anxiety by making the test feel familiar. Your tutor can also discuss test-day logistics, breathing techniques, and mental strategies to help you stay calm and focused when it matters.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have deep LSAT expertise and understand your specific goals and schedule. During the matching process, you'll discuss your baseline score, target score, availability, and learning style to ensure a strong fit. Your tutor will then create a customized 10-week plan tailored to your needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
